Portable hot tubs make for the best equipment for soaking. Lightweight and portable, these hot tubs can also have all of the amenities that are available to in-ground or above-ground hot tubs. However, just as with regular hot tubs, portable hot tubs need regular cleaning and maintenance, in order to keep water free of bacteria, mineral deposits, scum, algae and organic materials, as well as for preventing clogs and buildup. For this purpose, there are hot tub chemicals.
If you are looking into buying some cheap hot tub chemicals for your portable hot tub, apart from your budget, one thing to consider is if you wish to get traditional spa water cleansers that contain chlorine and bromine, or if you prefer natural hot tub chemicals. Many individuals are hesitant about using chemicals for cleaning their hot tub. Over the years, different chemicals used in shampoos, bath products and cleaning have been notorious for causing irritation to the skin and eyes. The choice is really up to you to make, but whatever choice you go with, you have plenty of options.
If you wish to use traditional hot tub chemicals to cleanse your portable hot tub and purify your water, one option that you have is the Leisure Time 22337 Spa 56 Chlorinating Granules, available for around $15 online, for 2 pounds of chlorinating granules. This hot tub cleanser is made especially for spas (portable or otherwise). The solution is chlorine in granular and concentrated form, perfect for adding to water. It works by masterfully disinfecting and sanitizing high temperature water.
Another type of hot tub chemical that you can use for your hot tub is a protector, such as the SPP Spa and Hot Tub Protect maintenance treatment. This chemical hot tub treatment protects from stains and scales that can develop in tubs. This type of hot tub chemical also boosts the appearance, performance and aids in the equipment and plumbing maintenance of your hot tub.
One of your options for a natural solution is the Natural Chemistry Spa Oxidizing Shock. This natural treatment for hot tubs gets rid of odors that tend to develop in hot tubs, while in the process destroying contaminants that can affect the clarity of your hot tub water, like cosmetics, body oils, suntan lotions, sunscreen, as well as perspiration. The process of oxidation works by instantly causing contaminates to deteriorate.
Another great alternative to chemicals is the all-natural Rendezvous Spa Natural Clear, made out of enzymes that are concentrated and work to clean water using biodegradable and natural means. This solution destroys any organic materials that are left in spa water, thereby boosting your hot tub filter’s lifespan.
For a balancing and all-natural solution for your hot tub water, there is Naturel Spa from Carefree Spa, Inc. This is a non-toxic solution that is safe and leaves hot tub water clean and clear. Using this eliminates the need to shock water, test your hot tub water regularly, as well as balance your hot tub water using harmful chemicals.
