Hot Tub & Spa Water Management Systems

Water management systems do vary from spa manufacturer to spa manufacturer. The more advanced the hot
tub systems are less worry for the spa owner. The most unique is the “Advanced Water Management Systems”
that reduces the reliance on hot tub chemical sanitation products, such as chlorine or even bromine. More
and more hot tub owners are wanting to reduce their exposure to hot tub chemicals as much as possible. By
utilizing various spa water management systems that rely on five major parts the hot tub bather can get by
with only using non-chlorine shock (potassium monopersulfate) on a weekly basis in their spa. Remember
each hot tub is different.

in the hot tub at least 60 times per day with low amperage draw, or the system that allows the user to set spa
filtration cycles.

ozone is what cleans the bacteria out of your hot tub water. Also does it come with a warranty and does the
generator have a replaceable cartridge at a low cost.

out of the hot tub water without any additional help from spa chemicals. What micron does the filter clean at?
The lower the number, the better it is for you. You want to make certain that it does filter to at least 4
microns.

naturally and safely. So if you have spa bathers that may be sensitive to chemicals you have found hot tub
nirvana. These normally need to replaced quarterly along with your normal cleaning cycle for your hot tub.

Finally a real good idea is if the hot tub has an external drain line, thus eliminating the need to remove the
