It is always necessary to disinfect your spa or hot tub as harmful bacteria, algae, fungi, and other microorganisms often thrive in such places. Chemicals as chlorine and bromine are most commonly used because they are indeed effective, doing a good job of killing the microbes. These disinfectants, however, have undesirable side effects. They can [...]

If you opt to go for an electric heater, check out the Hydro Quip 5.5 kW HeatMax RHS Series 240 [...]
One of the mechanisms used to sanitize swimming pools is the copper ion system. This sends low voltage current across copper bars to release copper ions into the pool. These copper ions neutralize algae and other organics in the water thus helping keep the pool clean.
Cleanwater Blue Bactericide and Algicide is a solution that [...]
Ozone is a molecule that consists of three atoms of oxygen. If it comes into contact with microorganisms such as bacteria, fungi, or protozoans, one of the atoms is released from the bond. This detached atom oxidizes the microbes. It is used by industries as a disinfectant, deodorizer, antimicrobial agent, and sanitizer. Among consumers, ozone [...]
Although a water pump is just one of the many components of a hot tub, it is an important part as it circulates water from the tub through the filter and heater then back again to the tub through pressure jets. You cannot have clean and heated water, or a hydro-massage, without pumps. A water [...]
