Hot tubs can provide a wonderful place for total relaxation, stress and tension relief. Accompanied by complementary therapies like aromatherapy, any ordinary hot tub water can turn into special therapeutic water. Basically, warm water helps in the recovery and healing on the physical state of a human being. It soothes any stressed part of the body by relaxing stiff muscle tissues that often results to muscle pains, spasms and cramps. With the proper use of warmth, these body pains can be relieved and total body regeneration can be acquired just by relaxing.

However, before you can attain this, you should make sure that the water is suitable for human use and should not pose any threat or risk to the health of the bather. This can be possible by simply following the standard in tub water chemistry to ensure that the quality and safety of the water is guaranteed. In general, battling for balanced water chemistry can be demanding of attention but is promised to yield from good to best results in the condition of the water.

Before you can start with balancing chemicals in your water chemistry, you should first have a reference on your actual water chemistry and the levels of the elements in the water. This can be easily obtained through conducting series of water testing of your tub water. Using a water test kit, you can get the total amount of total dissolved solids, the current level of pH, alkalinity, and calcium hardness in the water. After running random tests on the water, you can check the result so that you can work on elements that need adjustments.

If the elements in the water are too high, you can decrease their level by using certain chemicals that act as reducers. Keep in mind though that the process of gradual addition of chemical should be carefully followed in order to avoid exceeding past the safe zone and off to the other end of the appropriate parameter which is the low level. This is properly done by dividing the chemical reducer into several portions that you can easily manage to add into the water either by broadcasting or in its diluted form. Be cautious when handling these products as they can be dangerous to the health and on the skin and eyes. In case of too low level on certain elements in the water, chemical increaser is needed to raise the level on its required level. Keep in mind that water is hungry for elements and that when it is not fed will resume its appetite on anything it can get as replacement for what is intended. The water will be corrosive which only mean destruction to the facility and the tub itself. Similar with the process of lowering the level on the water chemistry, raising it should also be done gradually and on several parts to avoid getting past the required level and to get the best result out of the adjustment. Change the water every 3 months or when needed as it can also help prevent water problems.
