Hot tubs are the perfect environment for bacteria and other nasties, in addition to the newest target of the hot tub industry, biofilm. The good news is it’s all kept in check by a few simple procedures that do not take a lot of time or effort. Weekly hot tub maintenance should only take approximately 2 minutes, and this includes the time it takes to grab what you’ll need. Unless what you need is way across the yard. But, that’s another blog for another time.

Water Balance

Maintaining water balance such as pH and alkalinity is huge for our comfort in the hot tub, and protection of your wellness product. The weekly addition of an oxidizer also known as shock rids the hot tub of unwanted organics. Checking and making sure your sanitizer is in an acceptable range kills and suppresses unwanted bacteria, viruses, and other undesirables. Remember this can be performed in two total minutes.
