Common Problems from Poor Testing
Here are some common problems with hot tub water that result from improper testing:
- Cloudy or milky appearance
- An unpleasant odour
- Unusual foam or scum on top of the water
- A slippery feel on the surface of the water
All of these problems can occur from improper attention to testing and dosing your hot tub. When using sanitisers, both high and low levels can be dangerous.
The Dangers of Not Properly Testing
Some people who have used hot tubs have been injured by bacteria in the water, with some even dying from it. The dangers of not properly testing hot tub water are very real. To avoid these dangers, it is important to maintain the correct level of sanitiser at all times.
Use Hot Tub Test Strips
We recommend using hot tub test strips to monitor the sanitiser levels in your hot tub. These strips will change colour to indicate whether or not the sanitiser is at an appropriate level.
