Hot tubs and spas water can be a real issue for owners. If you don’t pay attention to it enough, your water will become cloudy and dirty very quickly. Without proper care, your hot tub water will likely become a stew of bacteria and debris that won’t just leave you with a cloudy hot tub but could make you sick. Luckily, BC Home Leisure carries SpaLife water care chemical, the best water care products on the market!

Causes of Cloudy Water

The warm water in your hot tub can be the perfect breeding ground for dangerous bacteria if you don’t maintain proper water chemistry. Unfortunately, bacteria growth is just one of the dangers of badly maintained hot tub water.

That’s why it’s critical that you pay close attention to how you maintain and manage your water on an ongoing basis.

Metal Isn’t Healthy

Metals in water can wreak havoc on your hot tub. With metal in your water, your hot tub water chemistry will change drastically and may damage the inner workings of your hot tub. It can also stain your spa’s shell and components.

Filter Problems

A more obvious potential cause of your cloudy spa is a filter that hasn’t been cleaned enough, or at least not well-enough. Your hot tub filter is the unknown star of your hot tub. It does the hard work that saves your water from becoming dirty, as well as the mechanics from becoming damaged.

How SpaLife Chemicals Helps You

Once you’ve established the cause of your cloudy spa water, you’ll need to address it immediately to avoid damage to your spa.

BC Home Leisure carries the SpaLife brand, hot tub chemicals come in a variety of forms to help keep your hot tub free of potential health risks, from chlorine tablets and pucks to bromine granules.

Balancing your Water

If you determined a specific chemical needs to be adjusted in your spa due to cloudy hot tub water, fix that first. Once you’ve done that, test your water to make sure all your chemical levels are still where they need to be.
