Mixing chlorine and bromine does not simply add up the disinfection effects; rather, it produces a complex chemical reaction. Free chlorine in the water will partially convert to free bromine (HOBr). Chlorine has a fast disinfection speed but a short lifespan, while bromine has high stability but a slow disinfection speed. Mixing chlorine and bromine can lead to unstable disinfectant efficacy.

Most whirlpool spa hot tubs maintain a temperature of around 37°C to 40°C. While this temperature range is ideal for human muscle relaxation, it presents an unfavorable environment for viruses. Many common viruses (such as influenza viruses, coronaviruses, and enteroviruses) are rapidly inactivated in high-temperature environments.

A water temperature of 40°C (approximately 104°F) is close to the upper limit of what the human body can safely tolerate. According to industry standards for hot tubs, most manufacturers recommend a safe water temperature of 38°C to 40°C. Exceeding this range, especially with prolonged soaking, poses potential health risks.

Swim spa hot tubs are inherently energy-intensive devices. If a swim spa hot tub is left on all night, the heater still needs to maintain a constant water temperature (usually between 36°C and 38°C), which means continuous energy consumption.

Many spa hot tub users believe, "I've already added bromine, so I don't need to worry about the water quality anymore," which is a common misconception. In fact, bromine only maintains continuous disinfection, while shocking is a necessary step in periodically "resetting" the water quality.

Testing the pH Level. Refilling a whirlpool spa hot tub may seem like just changing the water, but in reality, the water composition can differ each time it's filled. Tap water, well water, or filtered water have significantly different mineral and carbonate content, all of which directly affect the water's pH balance.

The main component of bleach is sodium hypochlorite (NaClO), a strong oxidizing agent commonly used for sterilization, bleaching, and stain removal. While it is effective at eliminating mold and bacteria in a home environment, its use in swim spa hot tub components can pose potential risks.

If you use a swim spa hot tub primarily to relieve work stress or improve sleep, 2-3 times a week is sufficient for optimal results. Each session should last 20-30 minutes, with the water temperature maintained between 36-38℃. This relaxes muscles without causing excessive fatigue.

CYA, short for Cyanuric Acid, is a white crystalline organic compound, often referred to as a "chlorine stabilizer" or "chlorine protectant." Its main function is to stabilize chlorine in outdoor spa hot tub water, preventing it from being decomposed by ultraviolet rays in sunlight, thus extending the effective time of chlorine.

If an outdoor spa hot tub is exposed to sunlight for extended periods, if disinfectant is insufficient, or if the filtration system is not functioning properly, algae will grow and multiply rapidly, causing the water to appear noticeably green or cloudy. This is one of the most common causes of "green water."

When people bathe in whirlpool spa hot tubs, pores open and the skin barrier weakens, allowing microorganisms to easily enter the body through tiny openings. Potential health problems include: • Skin infections and folliculitis, • Respiratory irritation, • Eye and ear inflammation.

If the pH is too low (below 7.0), it means the water is more acidic, leading to various problems. Many users have noticed that when the pH is consistently low, the water not only irritates the skin and eyes but may also become cloudy or whitish. This is not accidental but a result of chemical reactions.
