How Do You Know if Your Hot Tub is Clean?

2/6/2021

    We get it.  You’re looking forward to turning on your spa and hopping in to soak away your woes and troubles.  We’ve all been there and, yes, the bubbling water is additive.  However, part of making sure that you can soak your troubles away is in knowing and trusting that the hot tub is clean!  So, here are some tips and suggestions to look at when you want to assure yourself that it is, indeed, clean and entirely safe for you to enjoy your soak.

Top cleanliness tips
    Here is your sensory-friendly list of ways that you can determine how clean (or not clean) your hot tub is:

  • Can you read a coin in the water?: Toss a coin into the water.  If it comes up with heads or tails, you should be able to read it clearly through the water.  If it’s too cloudy, the water is definitely too dirty and clouded to soak in!

  • The presence of foam: Foam is normal with the jets on ,of course, but if you get piles of foam after it’s been off for a while, then it needs to be addressed, as it’s a sign that you’ve got a serious sanitation problem!

  • What’s that smell?: Any time your hot tub has a smell to it, it definitely should be cleaned.  A clean hot tub smells like, well, nothing.  A dirty or imbalanced hot tub will smell like anything from “gross” to chlorine-y.  

  • It’s been a while since you cleaned it: basically, if you know it’s been a while since you cleaned it and you actually are having a hard time remembering when it was last cleaned, the water should definitely be cleaned (and thoroughly!)

Extra safety tips
    Feeling kinda grossed out now?  It’s okay, it’s to be expected.  If you want to make sure that you are keeping your health controlled and general heebie jeebies down, then here are some tips to keep in mind.

  • Shower before and after: Before you climb into the hot tub, you’re going to want ot shower and rid yourself of everything from makeup to hair products to general bacteria and grime from the day.  A clean body means clean water, after all!  Showering after is great for getting sweat off and simply enjoying clean, fresh water.

  • If you’re not sure, clean it!: This is a silly thing, perhaps, but it’s important!  If you just aren’t sure if your water is clean, it’s no use stressing about it.  You certainly won’t enjoy your soak, anyway.  So, make it an effort to clean it properly and then you will know for sure.  Maybe it prolongs your wait to soak in your tub, but it’ll be worth it!

    Your hot tub is going to be your oasis from the world, so keep it safe and healthy by making sure that your clean water is really going to be clean.  Since looks can be kind of deceiving, those tips will help you stay on top of the water quality so that your health stays a priority.

My fiance and I decided to buy a hot tube last week, and we're loving it, but we forgot to ask about its cleaning needs, so we're trying to figure it out. We're glad you explained what it means if your hot tub has cloudy water or foam, so since we definitely want to avoid that, we'll start looking for a cleaning expert to help us. Thanks for the insight on preventing foam from taking hold of our hot tub at all costs.
