What causes hot tub water to be cloudy?
Mostly it’s bacteria.
How often do you or your kids, or their friends, take a serious shower before jumping in the hot tub? The conditions in a hot tub are perfect for bacteria to proliferate. We carry bacteria all over our bodies, and it transfers to the tub when we get in.
When you close the lid after a soak, the warm, steamy conditions create the perfect environment for the bacteria.
Hot tubs require a little care to stay clean and running smoothly.
You can clean your hot tub in as little as 30 minutes per month.
If you aren’t up for a full hot tub clean, these quick tips can help you manage and even clean hot tub bacteria out of the tub for good.
Foamy hot tub water has similar causes. All the hitchhikers on your body, like deodorant, makeup, hair product, moisturizers and even laundry detergent that’s leached from your clothes to your skin throw off the balance of cleanliness in the water.
If you keep up with a good monthly cleaning, you’ll probably never run into problems with bacteria and foam.
Here’s how to clean a hot tub in only 30 minutes a month.
Your hot tub filter does a lot of the hard day-to-day work of cleaning your hot tub water.
The general rule of thumb is to replace your hot tub filter at least once a year.
Replacements are available for all hot tub models we carry here.
But replacing annually doesn’t mean you can’t take care of your existing filter while in use.
You can clean your filter every month, or really as often as you want, with a filter cleaning canister from Beachcomber. If the cleaning canister isn’t up your alley, you can simply rinse the filter surface with the garden hose to remove gunk. You’ll be amazed the difference this makes in your daily use and If you’ve experienced milky hot tub water, foamy hot tub water or even green hot tub water, it could stop these hot tub problems reoccurring.
We can help you take care of any hot tub problem you have with professional hot tub service. But if you’re a DIY kind of person, we’re happy to offer the advice and products to get you started. Call us today to talk.
