Hot Tub Water Maintenance
Lay-Z-Spa hot tubs offer a relaxing, enjoyable hydrotherapy experience at home. To keep the water safe and clean, it’s essential to monitor water quality and change it regularly. You should also know when to drain your hot tub and fill it with fresh water, and recognise the signs that indicate it’s time to do so.
Why Do You Need To Change The Water In Your Hot Tub?
When you use a hot tub, remember that you are soaking in the same water each time. Each use introduces small micro-organic impurities into the water, which may lead to bacteria growth. As you keep using it, it gets harder to maintain the water's balance and quality. The best way to keep your hot tub clean is to drain and thoroughly clean it.
How Often Should You Change The Water In A Lay-Z-Spa?
It is advisable to change the water every 1 to 3 months, which largely depends on how often it is used and the effectiveness of the chemical treatments applied. Sufficient chemical care, utilising the cover and rinsing off before entering your hot tub will extend the longevity of the water.
How To Keep Your Lay-Z-Spa Water Clean For Longer?
- Always replace the cover after each use to keep anything from dropping inside
- Use a skimmer to clear away any debris on the water
- Rinse off in the shower prior to using your Lay-Z-Spa to eliminate body oils, makeup, hair products, etc
- Change the filter regularly
- Hand wash swimwear in warm water, not detergents
- Make sure you keep up the chemical treatment Shock dose after periods of heavy use
