Comprehensive guide: How to properly use your home SPA?

A jacuzzi is a great way to relax and unwind after a long day, but to make using it enjoyable, comfortable and hassle-free, you need to follow a few basic rules. Ensuring proper preparation, maintenance and operation of your jacuzzi is key to its longevity and efficiency. In this article, you will find a detailed guide that will help you avoid technical problems, take care of the cleanliness and quality of the water and optimise the costs associated with using your home SPA.

Unpacking the Jacuzzi – a Safe Start

Unpacking the jacuzzi is the first and very important step in using it. Incorrect actions at this stage can lead to irreversible damage.

  • Caution when opening:
    When using a knife or scissors, make sure not to cut the outer material of the jacuzzi. Even minor damage can affect the tightness of the device, which will later require expensive repairs. It is recommended to gently cut the packaging along the joint lines, holding the tool at a safe distance from the material.
  • Kit verification:
    After unpacking, check that all components (e.g. pump, hose, cover, instructions) are included and in perfect technical condition.

Preparing the ground - protecting the basin

Proper preparation of the area for the jacuzzi is crucial for its durability and comfort of use.

  • Substrate protection:
    Before inflating the jacuzzi, make sure the base is smooth and secured. Place a protective layer on it, e.g. a foam mat, sponge at least 1 cm thick or other material that protects against mechanical damage.
  • Remove any sharp objects:
    Stones, sticks or other sharp objects on the ground can damage the bottom of the hot tub. Even minor scratches can lead to leaks or stability issues over time.
  • Stable base:
    It is best to place the jacuzzi on a flat, stable surface, e.g. a terrace, lawn with a suitable protective mat or in a special place prepared for this purpose.

Maintaining water quality – health and hygiene

Clean and healthy water is the basis for comfortable use of the jacuzzi. Below you will find tips on how to take care of it:

  1. Use of chemicals:
    To prevent bacteria from growing and keep the water clean, use products designed for hot tubs, such as active chlorine. It is recommended to use proven brands, such as Target, which offer products designed specifically for hot water.

  2. Things to avoid:

    • Chlorine-free detergents: May cause carbon deposits on heating elements and disrupt the operation of the filtration system.
    • Fragrance Oils: While appealing to the senses, they can build up on the walls of your spa, making them difficult to clean and potentially damaging the system.
    • Vitamin C: Popular with users for crystallizing water, but not recommended for use in hot tubs as it can disrupt the water's chemistry system.
  3. Chlorine level:
    If you notice that the side walls of your hot tub are slippery, this is a sign that the chlorine level in the water is too low. In this case, you should top up the chlorine until the odor is faint, similar to indoor pools. Regularly checking the chlorine level and pH of the water will help maintain optimal water quality.

Minimizing energy consumption - benefits for your wallet and the environment

A hot tub can use a lot of energy, especially if it is not properly secured. Here are some practical tips to minimize costs:

  • Use a thermally insulating cover:
    When you are not using your inflatable hot tub , always cover it with a lid. This will minimize heat loss and reduce the need to heat the water frequently.
  • Usage planning:
    Only open the cover when you intend to use the hot tub. Leaving the device open for an extended period of time increases energy loss and can lower the water temperature.

Be careful in sunny places

If your hot tub is located in a sunny spot, there are a few important things to remember:

  • Air expansion:
    High temperatures cause the air inside the spa to expand, which can increase its volume by up to 50%. To avoid damage to the internal partitions, do not pump the spa to maximum level on hot days.
  • Regular check-up:
    Check the air level and adjust it depending on weather conditions.

Air Inflation – Flexibility of Use

A drop in the amount of air in the jacuzzi is normal and can be caused by temperature differences. In such situations, it is enough to:

  • Connect the hose to the pumping system.
  • Pump air to the appropriate level to ensure comfort and safety of use.

Pressure changes with temperature

The pressure in the jacuzzi varies depending on weather conditions:

  • Evening: As the temperature drops, the pressure in the hot tub also decreases, which may require additional air to be added.
  • During the day: On warm, sunny days, pressure increases, which can put a strain on the internal partitions. Regular inspection will help avoid problems.

Summary

Using a home spa is not only relaxation, but also responsibility. By following the above tips, you will ensure comfortable use of the jacuzzi for many years. Take care of proper preparation, water hygiene and regular maintenance of the device to enjoy your home spa to the fullest.

Remember that following these rules will not only extend the life of your jacuzzi , but will also help you minimize costs and enjoy relaxing in warm water even more. 😊
