Treating Skin Rashes From Hot Tubs


Treating Skin Rashes From Hot Tubs

Exclusive Summary About Skin Rashes From Hot Tub by Tim Faber and Dee Cohen

Most of the common skin rashes originate from the chlorine from spa waters and hot tubs. While all of us may love to go for our indulgent sessions in a resort or spa it is a known fact that many hot tubs contain the harmful bacteria which causes these rashes.

What is the bacteria which causes this?

The skin rashes that typically happen from spas and hot tubs occur from a bacterium known as Pseudomonas Aeruginosa also abbreviated as PA. This bacteria is very nasty especially as it can bring about a host of other infections as well. Some of these infections include urinary tract infection, Swimmer's Ear, HotTub Lung syndrome and even Dermatitis.

If you are a spa owner and wish to prevent skin rashes from occurring in your customers then try the following:

  • Remove water from spa
  • Soak filter in chlorinated waters
  • Fill up water again till the jets
  • Use a chlorinating concentrate (4 times more than regular dose)
  • Circulate water for 3 hours or so
  • Use a cleaner for plumbing out any bio-film accumulation
  • Refill new water

Is Your Rash From a Hot Tub, Pool Or Spa Bathing?
