As summer temperatures rise, so do water usage restrictions—and that often means hosepipe bans. If you're a hot tub owner, this can feel like a major hurdle. But don’t worry: with the right maintenance routine, you can keep your hot tub clean, clear, and safe without needing to refill it.

Owning a hot tub or spa is one of life’s great luxuries—but with great bubbles comes great responsibility! Whether you're soaking to relax, ease sore muscles, or enjoy a little slice of serenity at home, spa chemicals are what keep your water clean, safe, and crystal clear.

Foamy water in your hot tub might look like fun at first, but it’s actually a sign that something isn’t right.

Chlorine granules are one of the most effective ways to keep your spa water clean, clear, and safe. But if you’re new to spa ownership—or just want to be sure you’re using them the right way—this guide is for you.
