Waterline cleaner
You’ll want to keep your hot tub looking its best, so our Relax Shell & Waterline cleaner is a great item to own. When using a spa regularly, you may notice a build-up of oils and soaps around the waterline. You can wipe these away with a damp cloth.
When completing a full water change, we recommend using our waterline cleaner. This can be used on your hot tub shell to keep it looking pristine.
Floating dispenser
It’s maybe not the most exciting hot tub accessory, but a floating dispenser can help to save you time when it comes to water balancing. The dispensers are a practical accessory and are easy to use with your chlorine or bromine tablets. Simply pop the tablet in the dispenser, screw on the lid and wait for the tablet to dissolve in the hot tub water.
After adding chemicals to your hot tub water, you must use high-quality testing strips to ensure the water is safe. Then, you can compare your results with the optimum levels indicated on the packaging of the testing strips.
How often do you need to clean your hot tub?
It may come as a surprise that you only need to complete a full deep clean of your hot tub four times a year. A deep clean involves emptying the spa, cleaning the hot tub thoroughly, refilling it and balancing the water.
Between this time, you should wipe the hot tub shell with a damp cloth. Don’t use any chemicals, as these could impact the water and cause excessive foam. If you notice your hot tub water is dirty, you should empty and refill the spa, as this will be affecting the water quality.
When not using the spa, you should use the hot tub cover to prevent debris from landing in the water. The hot tub’s cover should be checked regularly to ensure that it is in good condition.
