After a hard week at work, nothing can be more relaxing than getting home and sinking into a hot tub, which can soon evaporate all the stresses from the week and put you in the perfect mood for the weekend. It’s therefore understandable that the last thing you want to see as you remove the cover from your hot-tub is a layer of grime on the water, because the right hot tub chemicals haven’t been used to keep it sanitised. Here at The Swimming Pool Store, we stock a range of cleaning chemicals and below is a handy guide as to the best ones for your hot tub.

There are various chemicals available which are suitable for hot tubs and will ensure that your tub remains clean and sanitised. However through our experience within the industry, we’ve found the following products are the best on the market.

If this is the first time that you’ll be using your hot tub, or if it hasn’t been used for a long period of time, then it’s important before getting in that you ensure the water is properly chlorified. The best way to make sure of this is to use shock chlorination, such as the Fi-Clor Spa Shock, on fresh cold water.

This is a fast acting and fast dissolving chemical which is guaranteed to kill water borne bacteria, to ensure that your hot tub is safe for all to enjoy.

When cleaning the filter of the hot tub, we’ve found that the Fi-Clor Spa Cartridge Cleaner available through our website is the ideal treatment to use. Not only will it remove grease, oil and trapped debris from the filter cartridge, but it also helps ensure the filter continues to operate to a high standard.

All of the hot tub chemicals which preserve the life of the water used can cause irritation if they’re not used according to the instructions, or if bottles are left within the reach of young children. For this reason, along with stocking all relevant hot tub equipment, we also provide a safety document to help prevent any avoidable accidents.

If you love hot tubs but have started to get the dreaded hot tub rash then The Swimming Pool Store are here to help. The hot tub rash commonly occurs due to unclean water. It doesn’t matter if you have just re-filled your hot tub with clean drinking water; if you do not use specialist hot tub chemicals to sanitise the water then bacteria will thrive in the warm damp conditions. Similarly if you do not follow manufacturer guidelines then regular skin exposure may sensitise your skin due to a pH imbalance in the water.

The hot tub rash can make your skin sensitive and sore to the touch. It can make it uncomfortable to bath in the tub, especially with regular use. These symptoms are caused by water that is not sanitised; this can lead to the whole experience of a hot tub being ruined. The use of chemicals will kill any harmful bacteria and maintain an ideal pH level in the tub - this is essential for your own and other users’ health.

As a rule, if you follow the instructions and carry out regular tests, then hot tub chemicals will not affect users who have sensitive skin and will prevent any rashes caused by unclean water. By following these precautions the users of your hot tub can relax and enjoy the warm and invigorating beneficial qualities that your hot tub experience possesses.

Here at The Swimming Pool Store we recognise the importance of keeping your hot tub clean. Chemicals should be used due to the conditions in your hot tub being an ideal harbouring location for bacteria and other worrying germs. This means that if hot tub chemicals are not used, then you are more likely to get rashes and infections. To view our range of chemical sanitizers follow the spa and Hot-tub chemicals link on our website.
