Now that autumn has arrived, and winter is fast approaching, your pool usage has probably declined. However, just because your pool has shut up shop for the season doesn’t mean you can forget about it… doing so might leave you with a green pool costing you much more than preventative maintenance would.
When it comes to treating your spa, a sanitiser will keep your water clean and healthy by destroying any bacteria that develops. Bacteria thrive in a warm moist environment, so the hot water of your spa is the perfect breeding ground. By ensuring that there’s sufficient sanitiser continually present in the water, your spa will be safe every time you use it.
It’s time to pull off the spa cover and enjoy a revitalising and relaxing spa! However, if you’ve neglected your spa for a few weeks or maybe a few months, there are a few simple things you’ll need to do to get everything ready, but after that, running your spa should be as easy as setting the temperature.
Bacteria can grow in any untreated body of water with swimmers being the primary source of contaminates along with rainwater, leaves, grass, dust and pets. Having a sanitiser in the pool water at recommended levels will eliminate most of the bacteria in the water. The neutralised bacteria is then filtered out and any residual sanitiser left in the pool water will prevent any new bacteria growth.
