Understanding chemicals for hot tubs

You thought at first that it was quite simple, but there is a lot to know about chemicals for hot tubs.  But not to worry, hopefully we will spell out the high points for you so that you are armed with the right information.  Chemicals for hot tubs include sanitizers which help to maintain the purity and disinfect the water in your spa. 

Balancing chemicals for hot tubs help adjust and maintain pH, TA (Total Alkalinity) and water hardness. Maintaining the proper level of these will help to reduce corrosion damage to metal parts, pump motors and heaters. It also helps to optimize the effectiveness of sanitizers as well as reduce eye and skin irritation.

Clarifiers are chemicals for hot tubs that help restore crystal clear water when it has gone murky.  By keeping the water clear, it helps increase the efficiency of your spa’s filter system.  Shock, also known as non-chlorine oxygen, oxidizes the contaminants that bacteria feeds on.  When you destroy these contaminants, your disinfectant system works much more efficiently.  This will leave you with a spa that everyone will want to enjoy.
