Winter is drawing to a close and spring is on its way. If you are a hot tub owner, you know that this means the bathing season is almost upon us and you need to be prepared. We’re sure that you are all over the essentials, such as pH adjusters and chlorine to get your water just right, but there are a few things you may have overlooked.

Here are the hot tub products you need that you may not have thought about yet:

System Flush

A hot tub that has spent the last 6 months full of water could be harbouring all manner of contaminants by now. Don’t worry, there’s nothing wrong with leaving the water in there in this way, it’s a recognised practice, but you do need to make sure you give everything a thorough clean now before you use it again.

The greatest areas of vulnerability are the pipes and lines. Bacteria can develop and they can become blocked up with dirt and gunk. You, therefore, need a System Flush Cleaner. This is a chemical that you add to the water that’s already in there. Once added, just set the hot tub running and it will force the water through the pipes and lines and flush them through, just as the name promises! You can then drain the water and start the refilling process. It is recommended to repeat this process every 3 months.

Filter Cleaner

There’s a good chance that you already know about cleaning your filters and have got a Filter Cleaner. That’s great, but did you know there’s a quicker way to do it than the traditional soaking overnight method? With an Instant Filter Cleaner, you can be done and dusted and back in your hot tub in less than an hour. And let’s face it, nobody wants to be banished from the hot tub at the height of summer to clean the filters, do they? 

With an Instant Filter Cleaner, you just remove the filters, rinse them, and then spray with the product. Leave for up to 30 minutes, rinse again, dry, and then replace – it’s that simple. This could even be the best product you buy for your hot tub this year!
