The Importance of Hot Tub Covers

Hot tubs covers serve several purposes. Most hot tub covers are made of vinyl with steel frames.

Hot tub water is not treated with chlorine like swimming pool water, so it can get dirty easier. Hot tub covers protect the water from getting dirty while the tub is not in use.

Another feature of many high-end models of hot tub covers is that they can seal heat inside the tub. Hot tub covers are usually made of vinyl with steel rims. Hot tub covers are a great investment for people who own a spa.

Importance of Draining & Refilling Your Spa

Exclusive summary about Importance of Draining Hot Tub By Ronalg Parrs

That's why the spa MUST be regularly drained & refilled. But how often? Here's a formula...

1. Determine the number of gallons in the spa.

2. Divided the gallons by the average daily bather load (for example, 3 bathers, 2 times per week would equal approximately 1).

3. Then divide that number by 3 to get your answer (in days).

First example: a spa or hot tub with 300 gallons of water that is used by 2 people twice each day 5 - 7days (equals bather load of 4)

300 ÷ 4 = 75 ÷ 3 = 25 days or about once per month.

Second example: a spa or hot tub with 300 gallons of water that is used by 2 people once each day 5 - 7days (equals bather load of 2)

300 ÷ 2 = 150 ÷ 3 = 50 days or about once every 2 months.

This formula is not concrete, however it is a good guideline to follow. Depending on how much the spa is used directly determines how often it needs to be drained & refilled. Most commercial spas need to be drained & refilled their spas at least once per week! Or they should!

Unless a hot tub is drained after each and every use (which presents a whole new set of problems in regards to plumbing the jets), the water MUST be treated, either with chlorine/bromine, or an alternative method such as a metallic ionizer. Leaving the water untreated in unsanitary and indeed very dangerous!

Ionizers deliver copper, silver, and zinc to fully sanitize the tub without the detrimental effects of chlorine or bromine on your health, the tub, and the environment. They are odorless and colorless, and ensure that never again will you have to share your dip with harsh chemicals.

Regardless of the method you chose, however, a hot tub that is not drained after each and every use must, must, must be sanitized in someway.
