CLEANER WATER Manage your HOT TUB WATER QUALITY
Good water quality in your hot tub is essential. The high water temperatures provide an ideal environment for bacteria to develop. The good news is making sure the water is always safe to use isn’t difficult with quality filters and specialist spa products available
HOT TUB CARE – IN A FEW MINUTES EVERY WEEK Looking after your hot tub shouldn’t take you more than a few minutes a week and there’s a simple regime to follow:
Daily
When you use the tub, test the chlorine levels to see if they fall between 3-5 mg/l (ppm). Check the pH levels to see if they fall between 7.2 and 7.6. If water is foaming use a Hot Tub Anti Foam product.
Weekly
Shock your hot tub with a suitable oxidising agent such as non-chlorine shock or calcium hypochlorite. Clean the filter and swap with spare. You should always have a spare filter as filters have to be allowed to dry first so that the fibres can bind together after cleaning.
Monthly
If you live in an area with hard water (high calcium) add a Hot Tub Scale Remover.
Every two months
Clean hot tub cover with a weak solution of chlorine.

Hot tub filters provide protection One of the key products to ensure high water quality in a hot tub is a quality filtration system. Dirty, clogged or worn- out hot tub filters will fail to trap contaminants which in turn will put a strain on the spa pumps. Darlly SilverStream Spa Filter Cartridges offers protection and the ability to resist the growth of microbes e.g. bacteria and moulds. The technology, in the form of a silver ion additive provides built-in protection to reduce levels of bacteria adding to the purity of your filter cartridge and water.
