<h2>Hot Tub Maintenance #1 – The Water</h2>

<div class="col-lg-8">
<p>Waters Choice ENZYMES are like vitamins for your spa water.They allow you to drastically reduce the use of harsh chemicals.</p>

<p>As a matter of fact, some of our customers have told us they’ve been able to completely eliminate the use of chlorine with the use of our enzymes.</p>

<p>However, when using traditional chemicals, the water in your hot tub will reach a saturation point where the chemicals aren’t dissolved as effectively.</p>

<p>This measure is called total dissolved solids or TDS. Unfortunately when TDS is high, chemicals will not work effectively or at all, leading to increased use with lower effectiveness.</p>

<p>That’s why when using traditional chemicals, water must be changed every three months.</p>

<p>We have GREAT news for you! When using Waters Choice enzymes, we recommend only changing your water once a year.</p>

<h2>Hot Tub Maintenance #2 – Filtration</h2>

<p>Filter cartridges are like the kidneys of your hot tub.If they are not cleaned and replaced annually, the hot tub’s heart or pumps, will strain to keep pumping.</p>

<p>Not to mention, your spa water will struggle to stay clean.</p>

<p>Filtration TIME is crucial in purging impurities from your spa water.Make sure your hot tub filtration is set to a minimum of 8 hours a day for the first six weeks of implementing Waters Choice enzymes.</p>

<p>After the enzymes have been established, you can start decreasing your filtration hours a little bit at a time.</p>

<p>We never recommend going less than 4 hours per day.</p>

<p>In light of this, you should clean filters at least once a week in the beginning, approximately 4-6 weeks.</p>

<p>After the 1st month and a half, you can start cleaning them once every two weeks, as long as your water clarity stays crystal clear.</p>

<p>Once enzymes are established, after 4-6 weeks, filter cleaning may diminish completely.</p>

<p>There’s no need to buy expensive filter cleaners.Just use a high pressure hose once a week to clean them off.Furthermore, if your filters ever have an odor or don’t come back to white after high pressure hose cleaning you can do the following:soak filter/filters in 1 cup of bleach and enough water to cover them.In our opinion, you should soak for one hour, then rinse and replace.</p>

<p>We find that many customers purchase two sets of filters; swapping them every other week to prolong the cartridge’s life.It’s important to remember that filters do degrade over time and typically should be replaced every 12 months.</p>

<h2>Hot Tub Maintenance #3 – Equipment</h2>

<p>With a traditional chemical system, spa equipment can wear out quickly and become corroded.</p>

<p>Waters Choice enzymes actually <b>increase the efficiency and longevity</b> of your spa equipment because chemicals are dramatically reduced and in some instances actually eliminated completely.</p>

<p>Waters Choice enzymes allow you to spend less time maintaining your spa and more time enjoying it!</p>
