Keeping Your Water Clean

There are two products that help to keep your water clear:

Clarifier
Clarifiers coagulate the bacteria, oils, and other organics that sanitizers cannot destroy in the water. In other words, the clarifier turns the liquid bacteria into a solid so that the filter can capture it. However, a problem with clarifiers is that much of the coagulated materials tend to gather on the shell surface, forming an unsightly "scum line" along the water line. This is why we strongly recommend the use of a natural enzyme product over the other types of clarifiers. A natural enzyme product breaks down the organics by converting them into a gas before they can interfere with the sanitizer's performance. Because it dissolves the organics as opposed to coagulating them, it helps to rid the shell of the "scum line". One product in particular called Natural & Clear has become a very popular natural enzyme product that clarifies the water and comes highly recommend.

Stain & Scale Preventer
Stain and scale preventers help to control any staining or discoloring of the water caused by minerals. It also helps to prevent oxidizing and scale from forming on the shell's surface and/or any corrosion occurring to the heating element. Homes that use well water or water high in mineral content especially need to use stain and scale preventer on a regular basis to prevent mineral build up. However, as a safeguard, we recommend that all spas be treated with a stain and scale preventer once a week. It is an excellent safety measure, and in the long run will produce clearer water and will protect your spa.
