How to be a water Wise Hot-Tubber

Properly maintained Hot tubs don’t waste water.
A McGill University study shows the the average Canadian uses a whopping 329 liters of water everyday!! This translates to a mind blowing 360,255 liters or  95169 gallons for the average Canadian household per year. In times of drought it is only natural to be concerned with ways to conserve, and your hot tub is in fact and asset NOT a waste.  

The average hot tub contains less than 1% of your total household water consumption, and well maintained water can last from 4-8 months, and provide a welcome break from the intense summer heat.  

But how do you keep water chemistry just right, when you may not want to do a refill just yet? 

Here are some tips: 

1. Remove any debris that falls into the spa while the cover is off will keep the water chemistry in balance and reduce the need to drain early. 
   
2. Upgrade to a water care technology that keeps the water cleaner longer and can reduce refilling to just once a year.
3. Bring in a water sample to our store at Coombs Junction to make sure you are balancing everything correctly. 
4. Consider a new hot tub cover. Older worn covers wick in moisture and are a breading ground for mold and algae. A new hot tub cover will reduce evaporation and water waste by 95%.
5. Most people use their hot tub for therapeutic purposes that include relief from achy muscles, chronic pain, arthritis, fibromyalgia, and stress. Instead of soaking in baths or taking extra-long showers for the benefits of warm water therapy, you can save water by using a hot tub instead.
6. Drained and cooled hot tub water can be used for lawns and landscaping; the chemicals break down within 48 hours and won’t harm plants.
   

In the intense heat, your hot tub can be used as a cool tub by turning the temperature down, and following these tips will ensure that you're a happy hot tubber no matter what the conditions!
