Posted: August 27, 2014Bigger isn't always better. If you don't have a big family, you might wonder if getting a hot tub is a good idea, since you won't have a crowd to fill a 6-seat or 12-seat spa like you see so often on TV shows and in the movies. In reality, a two-person hot tub might be the right solution for your household. If there's only one or two people who will be using it, a 2-seater makes sense. Is a smaller spa right for you? Let's take a look at the advantages and disadvantages of a two-person spa. Space You'll need a place that can hold the unit with at least a two-foot buffer of space around it on all sides. Make sure that there's at least a 12-foot overhead clearance, especially from power lines. The average two-person spa is roughly seven or eight feet long by four feet wide and about two feet deep. In comparison, a hot tub that seats six people is seven or eight feet square and three feet deep, depending on the ..Read morePublished on

Posted: August 21, 2014If you own a hot tub, you probably already know if you have hard water. You can adjust your hot tub maintenance routine to make your water feel more refreshing. You can also use spa chemicals and accessories to ensure the long life of your unit. If you haven't checked your water lately or you're getting a new spa, it's a good idea to test your water now. Find out what type of water you have, then decide how to balance it. Depending on the type of water you have at home and the type of water sanitizing system you use, you can take different steps. One of the most popular options is to adjust the calcium hardness of your water with hot tub chemicals. Another option is to use a prefilter to minimize the amount of metals and minerals that permeate your spa water. Some hot tub owners use them in tandem. What Is Hard Water? Hard water is heavy in metals and mineral deposits. When left untreated, hard water results ..Read morePublished on

Posted: August 11, 2014If you're planning a summer vacation and you use the ACE® Salt Water Sanitizing System in your hot tub, you might wonder if you need to do anything differently than usual. When you go a week or more without using your spa, the needs of your water care routine change. While the Hot Spring® spa water system is designed to make maintenance easier, it still needs a few moments of attention if you're headed out of town or if you won't be hot tubbing for a while. • Before you go on vacation, it's a good idea to change or confirm the Use Level of your ACE Saltwater System using your control panel. If you'll be gone for more than a week, you should adjust the settings through your console to Level 1. • If you'll be gone for two weeks or more, it's a good idea to shock your hot tub water, adjust your Spa Size setting and confirm that the Use Level setting ..Read morePublished on

Posted: July 01, 2014Keeping your hot tub cleaned correctly is essential to prevent algae and mold from growing, bugs from spawning, and other problems that could affect your family's health. Hot Spring hot tub chemicals must meet the right standards to clean the hot tubs and prevent bacteria and germs. Choosing the right Hot Spring hot tub chemicals for your spa is essential to its maintenance. Sanitizers Before a hot tub can be used, it must be properly sanitized. The sanitizers will quickly kill bacteria in the water. Chlorine is one of the most important chemicals to use. Use salt water test strips to test the pH level in your hot tub to determine how much chlorine to add. Most people will use what is known as shock treatment—the addition of a large quantity of chlorine at once—as it quickly cleans and sanitizes the hot tub. However, chlorine tablets like Trichlor are not recommended for a hot tub, as that much chlorine ..Read morePublished on

Posted: May 28, 2014How often you need to drain and change your water depends on a number of factors. A good indicator it's time to do so is when the water gets cloudy. A typical range of water change is about two to four months. There are several things you can do to maximize the amount of time between water changes. Hot tubbing when the water is dirty and cloudy isn't refreshing, and it's not very healthy. Keeping your water clean with regular maintenance will help to prevent cloudiness. 1. Encourage everyone using your spa to rinse off before they get in. This reduces the amount of residue from hair products, antiperspirants, make-up and oils in the water. An outdoor shower near your hot tub is a good way to encourage a quick rinse. 2. Change or clean your spa filter regularly. Spray your filter cartridge with a garden hose to keep water running smoothly. Replace your spa filter about every three years. Consider using higher line hot tub filters, ..Read morePublished on
