Water chemistry for a hot tub is pretty simple. You shouldn’t have to spend much time keeping the water in your Royal Spa clean and clear. In fact, your hot tub is designed to all the work for you. However, from time to time the conditions in the spa become less than idea. When this happens, it’s time to take action!
How to get rid of the 4 Things that affect hot tub water chemistry
Here’s a list of 4 things that affect hot tub water chemistry and how to get rid of them:
1. Cooties
These little guys come in all shapes and sizes and NOBODY wants them in their hot tub. When it comes to bacteria, you want to make sure it’s dead as soon as possible. Chlorine, bromine, and ozone can all be used to control cooties. Chlorine is stable to 80 degrees, so it acts fast and kills everything, but quickly dissipates as well.
Bromine is much more stable than chlorine, but it has a strong odor that many spa owners don’t like. Ozone, or O3, is the best choice for controlling cooties. Ozone touches the water, releases an ion of oxygen, attaches to the cooties, and then the cooties die of old age. Once the cootie is dead, it gets caught in the filter. Done!
2. Calcium
