SPA-Article #5: How to Avoid: Hot Tub Rashes and “Itchy Skin”

If your hot tub water just doesn't "seem right", then consider these simple suggestions:

1. Regular and Routine Maintenance. 

          Add the proper dosages on a regular, routine basis. 

If you are unsure of how much and how often, bring us a pint sized sample of your hot tub water for free analysis. 

2. Test your hot tub water frequently!

Ideally this would be everyday, whether you use it or not.  
Testing is the best way to monitor what the water is doing OR NOT DOING! 

Instruction sheets for what to add and how often - need to be verified through testing – at home and here at PoolCo.



3. Keep your hot tub filters in tip top shape! 

Rinse weekly with just a garden hose.

Every 4-6 weeks chemically clean with SpaGuard Filter Cleaner.

Consider replacing filters if they are over a year old and have NOT been maintained (cleaned) properly.



4. Drain and Refill Tub Water as Often as Needed

This depends on:
  • how well the hot tub is constructed, (filtration system)
  • how many people use the hot tub,
  • how often and how long it is used
BioGuard Stow Away 

Clean your cover with Stow Away whenever you drain, clean & refill your spa or hot tub. 

(Remember the underside of the cover does not come in direct contact with the chemically sanitized hot tub water!)
