There is a colloquial definition of spa in the American style of English that ties spas into the definition of hot tubs or Jacuzzis and that is the understanding that our website utilizes in defining spas. This is not to say that for example day spas or resort spas are simply hot tubs, but that the primary focus of this website is to outline the different upkeep and cleaning items that are used to keep your personal investment of a hot tub good for as long as possible.

The capitalist market of production has come up with the one-piece spa or hot tub in response to the desire for the warming atmosphere it brings, both physically and socially. With any investment, the investor desires to protect that purchase for the life of the product. One of the ways of doing this, with regards to spas, is to chemically treat the spa with spa products and supplies. The work of these chemically will reduce the numbers of microorganisms in the tub and help to prevent the parts from corroding, all of which will be discussed further below.

In terms of hot tub products, there are two basic categories of supplies to reduce the microorganism count in the tub. One is through chlorine blasting the pool, often termed “shocking” the hot tub. The other is through non chlorine methods such as potassium monopersulfate. When you shock a tub it is generally a good idea not to enter the tub for the duration. In the case of the chlorine tablets or granules, it can be ready in a time period as short as 15 minutes. In the event of the potassium monopersulfate, the time table is stretch to 8 hours or so. The box or packaging for your purging method will have the duration during which you should not enter the pool because of the spa products. Either way the end result of this practice is to reduce the potential for the transmission of diseases and other biological factors by creating an environment that is hostile to these little bugs.

The second advantage of making sure to use spa products and supplies is to prevent potential corrosion on the set-in-stone parts. The advent of the one-piece hot tub can be traced to the invention of a foam method of production that simple fills a mold of the desired shape of the tub. Since the tub is one piece it is generally very difficult to remove anything but the attached motor casing. The tubes are encased in the foam substance and the parts are difficult, if not impossible to reach without damaging the casing. For this reason, treating the tub with the proper spa products is a near necessity if you are invested in attaining the maximum lifespan of your tub.

General maintenance for a tub also usually include spa products like PH strips to be sure that your water is acidic enough to prevent the two cases mentioned above, microorganism growth and corrosion of pipes. If it is too acidic the water can be caustic for your skin and pipes, but given a less than ideal PH level, the environment of 100 degrees or so is ideal for biological growth.

The maintenance of a good hot tub is periodic depending on the spa products you have chosen to invest in. At best the supplies will provide a long life for the tub’s parts, and by correlation provide you with a warming bath for years.
