The water in the hot tub gets dirty. Dirt from outside gets into it, we bring some dirt into the water ourselves, and bacteria and algae get into the water. Stepping into a hot tub with dirty water can be harmful to your health. Therefore, it is wise to empty the hot tub on time, clean it and replace the water.
