Take care of your hot tub as well as it takes care of you

Hot tub chemicals help your hot tub keep in peak performance throughout the year. Each hot tub chemical has a specific job to do. Some hot tub chemicals treat water by cleaning, disinfecting, removing pollutants, clarifying etc.

Checking your hot tub water regularly (even in the winter months if in use) is important for extending the life of your hot tub. Think of it like it's a car. You always should have it checked out after every season to ensure it will run properly. The same goes for a hot tub.
Here are some hot tub chemicals that you may need:

Water balancers: Water balancers work to manage alkalinity levels, ph levels and calcium hardness.

Sanitizers/Shocks: Sanitizers and shocks are used to clean and disinfect the water of any bacteria or unwanted chemicals that may exist in the water.

Clarifiers: Use this hot tub chemical when your hot tub water is cloudy or foamy. A hot tub clarifier will clear the water and make it more appealing healthy looking.

Cleaners: Cleaning hot tub chemicals are used to eliminate any bacteria and scum in the water.

Another element to check when evaluating your hot tub is water hardness. Water hardness can be too high or too low and therefore can create issues. It's very important to test your water hardness to see if it is at a suitable level. If the water hardness level is too high or too low, it can pose health risks to the skin, eyes and other body parts. Remember to test your water regularly and inspect all hot tub parts to ensure it is in working order.

Your hot tub works hard so you can feel relaxed and revitalized. Make sure you take care of your hot tub to keep it running smoothly. Visit www.artichottubs.com for hot tub, hot tub accessories, hot tub chemicals, etc. or for more information on the benefits of owning a hot tub.
