If you want to enjoy your time in your hot tub or all-season pool to the fullest, you’ll need to keep some spa supplies on hand for cleaning and convenience.
To ensure you have everything you need, we’ve compiled an essential list of the necessities.
1. Spa Chemicals
If you want to keep your spa’s water safe and clean, chemicals are a must. Here is what you’ll need not only to sanitize your water but to ensure your spa stays in good working order.
Test Kit
Keeping a testing kit on hand enables you to test your water to see what chemicals need to be added.
pH Balancer
Acidity in the water can fluctuate. To keep it even, add pH up if your water tests low or pH down if it tests high.
Stain and Scale Control
Detergents, lotions, cosmetics and body oils can cause scum and build up on your spa. This product will keep that problem in check.
Bromine Tablets
One of the most important products in your chemical arsenal, bromine is used to neutralize bacteria and sanitize your spa’s water.
Hot Tub Shock
Shock is also a key player in keeping your water clean and clear. It’s main purpose is to remove or prevent foam and cloudiness.
Filter Cleaner
Your spa itself gets most of the love, but don’t forget your hard working filter. A filter cleaner should be used monthly to keep your filter free of dirt and grime.
2. Cleaning Supplies
Chemicals can’t do the job alone. That’s where cleaning ‘hardware’ comes in. You’ll need:
A Spa Net
You really can’t get by without a good-quality spa net. This will enable you to remove debris from the water.
A Vacuum
The bottom of your spa also needs attention. A spa vacuum will keep the bottom free of dirt.
A Filter Flosser
While not essential, this tool can make cleaning your spa cartridge filter much easier. It evenly disperses water spray to clean between the filter’s folds.
3. Spa Accessories
When it comes to convenience and making your spa use easier, these spa accessories are our top recommendations:
Spa Cover
A spa cover will not only help to keep the water clean, it helps your spa maintain its temperature. So, not only will you need fewer chemicals to keep your water clean, it can lower your energy bill.
Cover Lifter
Covers are heavy. Having a lifter will not only save you from hurting your back, but it also makes removing the cover a one-person job.
Steps
While not essential, steps make getting in and out of your spa much easier. It can also be a safety factor because the area around your spa can get slippery when wet. Adding steps to the side will help prevent falls from getting in or out of the spa.
Your spa or all-season pool will work well year after year with the right care and maintenance. Having the spa supplies for your spa is essential to enjoy your spa for many years to come.
