Improper water care can lead to a host of problems. Cloudy water and odors are common, but poorly balanced water allows bacteria to thrive and can lead to a skin infection called folliculitis or Hot Tub Rash. This infection is characterized by clusters of small, itchy red bumps that resemble acne on the skin, particularly in areas covered by a swimsuit. If left untreated, this rash can spread or even develop into boils. Ensuring you pH and sanitizer levels are at the proper levels is your first line of defense. This keeps bacteria from growing and the water safe for bathers. Cleaning the spas filters and emptying the spa at regular intervals also reduces the chances of an infection. Your hot tub should be a place for relaxation, not worry, so take the steps necessary to keep your water properly balanced for years of enjoyment.
