The Importance of Water Testing

Maintaining the water quality of your spa is essential to keep you and your guests safe. Here are some solutions for a healthy hot tub.

Health and Safety

Using chemicals in spa water is essential for making it a safe environment for guests. Consistent testing is needed to maintain the chemical balance of the water and prevent the growth of bacteria. 

A poorly sanitized spa will promote the growth of bacteria and other microorganisms, which can cause skin irritation and other bodily discomforts. To make water testing simpler, you can dip test strips into your spa that will tell you exactly what chemicals are needed to return it to a proper balance.

Spa Protection

When water is not properly maintained, it harms the functionality of your spa. High levels of chemicals or minerals can cause corrosion or damage to the water pump and other internal equipment. 

If the water quality is neglected for too long, it will cause damage that is expensive to have repaired. Therefore, testing your water quality is a great way to improve the longevity of your tub and save you from expensive repair costs.

Comfortability

Spa water that is visually dirty or discolored can take away from the spa experience. It’s important to keep your water clean and clear for the maximum comfort of you and your guests. Chemical imbalances can also cause pungent odors, which are a big turn-off during your time of relaxation. 

Let’s talk about some solutions for your water care.
