Now that summer is here, families throughout the country will be looking at ways to relax and enjoy the onslaught of warm weather which we’re all hoping for. One way in which the young and old can enjoy the summer is by relaxing in a hot tub. However, to ensure that hot tubs can be enjoyed for months on end it’s important to ensure that hot tub chemicals are used to keep it clean and hygienic.

When carrying out your usual garden maintenance Windsor, why not use this opportune time to take care of your hot tub too? There may be those that worry that the chemicals being used aren’t safe, but we at The Swimming Pool Store are here to break these myths, as we know that as long as hot tub chemicals are used in accordance to the instructions provided, they’ll remain completely safe whilst keeping your tub as clean as possible.

Myth: Chemicals added will cause irritation to the eyes/skin

Fact: When adding chemicals to your hot tub, by following the instructions provided and continuously checking the pH level of the water you can easily prevent any irritation. As a rule of thumb, anything between 6.8 and 7.0 is likely to cause irritation to the eyes and won’t be as effective in keeping the pool clean. If the pH scale falls between 7.8 and 8.6, again it’ll cause irritation to the eyes and skin, whilst being ineffective in keeping the pool clean. It’s therefore recommended to keep your hot tub’s pH level at around 7.4 to ensure there’s no irritation and the water is clean and hygienic.
