So here are some tips on how to keep your pool spa clean in Cape Coral, FL.

Due to the smaller body of water and less splash out compared to a pool, spas are more likely to have an increased dissolved solid present.  It’s therefore recommended to change spa water every three to four months, or replace about one-third of the volume every three to four weeks. As the water is generally warm, the treatment guidelines for spa pool water in comparison to a pool are different. However, properly applied, chemicals will keep your spa clean and healthy, eradicating all viruses, bacteria, and algae.

Test the water before each use, or weekly when you’re not using the spa, and always wait one hour before using the spa after adding chemicals to the water.

To ensure safe, healthy water that is free of harmful micro-organisms, sanitizing your spa is essential.  The amount of sanitizer required depends on water temperature, how many people use the spa and how often.   In very hot water, the sanitizer can be used up very quickly and should be checked regularly while the spa is being used.

If you are using a saltwater chlorinator, ensure it is designed and sized to produce the correct level of chlorine required to sanitize a spa.

Important tips.
