Tiny particles of suspended matter and dust in spa water will make it look dull, cloudy and lifeless. These particles are so small they pass through the filter and remain suspended in the water. Using a clarifier will assist the filter in removing these particles by coagulating them together.

Due to the fast turnover of spa water, the aeration and the build up of bather wastes (e.g. body oils, lotions, shampoo, etc) unsightly foam can appear on the water’s surface. A weekly application of foam decreaser will help prevent foam becoming a problem.

For a touch of luxury, a product containing lubricants to stop the drying effects of sanitizers on hair and skin can be added to the water. This has the added value of offering some form of protection to the heater element as it resists scaling.

Fragrances are a great way of adding that extra touch of luxury to your bathing experience. Spa fragrances are specially formulated to have no effect on water balance and come as either liquids or dissolvable crystals. Aromatherapy is a science all of it’s own, but there can be no doubting the sensory benefits of adding scents to a spa.
