If your hot tub has seen a lot of use recently or if you notice the water looking murky after a big party, it’s time to give it some extra sanitizing care. A high number of bathers can introduce many contaminants all at once.
Here’s a 3 step solution to help you clear it up:
1. Shock Immediately After Use
Once everyone has finished enjoying the hot tub, it’s essential to add an oxidizer, also known as non-chlorine shock, while the jets are running. This process breaks down organic contaminants and allows your chlorine or bromine to continue effectively sanitizing the water.
2. Clean Your Filter the Next Day
The personal hygiene products from multiple users can accumulate in your filter. To maintain cleanliness, remove your filter cartridge and give it a thorough spray with a hose the day after heavy use. If you hosted a particularly rowdy party, consider using a filter cleaner spray for a deeper clean.
3. Run Extra Filtration Cycles
Increase the number of filtration cycles your hot tub runs after heavy use. The more your water circulates through the filter, the cleaner it will become, ensuring a refreshing soak the next time you or your guests want to relax.
Enjoy your summer parties!
