Helpful Tips for Maintaining Your Hot Tub

However since they are only a guide, we recommend visiting Bud’s Spas & Pools for a water test at least once a month for proper water balance. Monthly tests are required to ensure that the warranty on your hot tub remains valid.

At home testing should be done weekly and before entering your hot tub to ensure bather safety. 

*Please be aware that if your test strips indicate a “0” bromine/chlorine reading (white colour), the result may be correct. However the strip could also be bleached out because of extremely high bromine/chlorine levels. If you are ever unsure, it is best not to use the tub and come into Bud’s for a water test.

• When adding chemicals, proper dosage is very important. All Dazzle chemicals can be measured using the caps on the bottles. Follow the instructions on the bottle for proper application.

   

• To avoid cloudy water, please be sure to wait the recommended time required between each chemical addition.

   

• Always refer to your water analysis printout to verify dosages and frequency of chemical additions.

• We recommend placing 3 – 4 bromine or chlorine tablets into your chemical feeder/floater and set the dial to “2”. Please check the feeder/floater weekly and replace the tablets as they dissolve.
• Shocking or oxidizing eliminates bather wastes such as perspiration, body oils, and cosmetics that tend to cloud the water. Dazzle’s Amaze Plus will help to eliminate these wastes and should be added once a week.
• Heavy usage is considered to be 2 or more people in the tub for longer than 20 minutes per use. To ensure that your hot tub water stays sanitized, add the required amount of Amaze Plus after heavy use.
• Please remember to leave your cover off for 1 hour after your weekly shocking!
