One Tip To Avoid Turning A Spa Day Into A Foamy Nightmare

Hot tubs are amazing in that they are an indulgent experience that everyone can enjoy and a lot of times for far less than you might think.

In chilly winter months, it can be a great way to keep your core body temperature up and reduce inflammation, whilst it can keep summer days going into summer nights.

With that said, whilst there is a lot of room for versatility and having a good time, there are a few tips and tricks that will ensure you enjoy yourself safely and do not cause damage to yourself, others or your hot tub itself, requiring hot tub services to fix.

Most of them are pretty obvious, but here are some tips to ensure you have the best time, like don’t wrestle inside the hot tub and get out if you feel you are overheating, but one piece of advice is a little more surprising.

You Can Have Too Many Bubbles

Whilst it seems controversial to claim that you can have a whirlpool spa experience with too many bubbles, the problem is not necessarily the bubbles themselves but where they come from.

You can get specially formulated spa bombs, but do not add ordinary bubble bath into your hot tubs or you can expect a pretty substantial mess.

The Jets that give your hot tub bubbles will agitate the water and create a lot of foam that can be a nightmare to clean.

Worse than this, however, is that the soap residue can cling to the filters, pumps and other equipment that you would not have in a traditional bath, clogging it, leading to cloudy water and sometimes complete failure.

If you don’t fancy completely draining the tub, cleaning the filters and flushing the system with fresh water, leave the bubble bath to the bath and choose a specially formulated product such as spa crystals, or hot tub liquid fragrance.
