Hot tub Maintence tips & Garden spa chemical use tips

Hot tub maintence tips to ensure years of trouble free use of your spa we recommend the following :

• Maintain good water chemistry, you will need to use a sanitiser and a means of controlling the pH (a measure of the waters acidity). Water should be tested at least every other day. You can buy your chemicals online here.
  
• In order to sanitise the spa water it is necessary to kill the bacteria and oxide the impurities, Southern Spas use an ozone generator as the oxidiser which allows the sanitiser to handle the sanitation exclusively.
  
• It is vitally important to drain the spa water after 4 to 6 weeks use, as impurities can build up and the only effective way to remove them is to drain the water and replenish. The Health and Safety Executive specifically recommend that water changes occur ever 4-6 weeks.
  
• The spa is generally self cleaning however once drained a quick wipe round with a soft cloth will get rid of any water line.
  
• Covers should be cleaned thoroughly at least twice a year and flipping the foam twice a year to be convex will encourage the water to run off, thereby lengthening the life of the cover considerably.
