All about using your hot tub

After the hot summer, rainy fall, freezing winter and sunny spring, it is actually always a good time to service the hot tub. If you want to enjoy the hot tub for as long as possible, we recommend giving the hot tub a bigger service every change of season.

During such maintenance, it is useful to take care of the filter system. Clean the tub properly. Check the wood and varnish it if necessary and clean the stove properly. If you do it right, maintaining the hot tub really isn't much work. You just have to do it.

Start firing only when the hot tub is filled, or when the water is about 10 cm below the rim. This is because if you don't do this, the heater will not be able to release its heat and will break down.

The best way to fire your stove is the Swiss way. The Swiss way provides the most efficient heat and burns the longest. To fire the hot tub, it is important that you use good firewood that is always raw. If you have an insulating cover, it is convenient to leave it on the hot tub. That way the water does not lose its heat right away.

The optimal effect of disinfectants - depends on the correct pH value; which in turn depends on the TA value. With the right TA value, the pH value can remain stable and with the right pH value, disinfectants can perform well. The pH value indicates the acidity of the water. Ideally, it should be between 7.2 and 7.6.

If the pH drops below this level, the added disinfectant is quickly consumed. If the pH value is too high, the effectiveness of the agent is significantly reduced and skin and eye irritations can occur. The TA value represents the total alkalinity (total amount of Alkaline substances) of the water and refers to the ability of the water to neutralize acids and stabilize the TA value. It is best if the TA value is between 80 and 120 ppm (milligrams per liter).
