1. Rinse Off for a Blissful Soak

Before immersing yourself in the hot tub, take a moment for a quick rinse. Your body's natural oils, lotions, and accumulated dead skin cells, even remnants from daily hygiene products like deodorant, can compromise the efficiency of the filter and affect water quality. A swift shower beforehand can significantly reduce the need for frequent draining and cleaning.

2. Mindful Consumption: Snacks and Drinks

While enjoying your favorite beverages near the hot tub might seem harmless, it's essential to be mindful of food and drink choices. Crumbly snacks and excessive spillage can pose risks. Opt for crumb-free finger foods such as mini meatballs, pretzel bites, or cream puffs to minimize potential messes that might compromise the water quality.

3. Dress Appropriately for the Experience

Selecting the right attire for the hot tub might not seem critical, but it can make a significant difference. Ensure your swimsuit is clean and free from detergents that could disrupt the hot tub's water balance. Avoid transitioning directly from the lake or beach to the hot tub, as minerals clinging to your attire can affect the spa's water quality. Additionally, tying up your hair can reduce the likelihood of it clogging the filter, thereby reducing cleaning efforts.

Regular water maintenance is crucial, but these proactive measures to maintain cleanliness and prevent additives from entering the water streamline the maintenance process. By adhering to these pre-soak rituals, you'll minimize the frequency of draining, cleaning, and refilling your hot tub, maximizing your leisure time to unwind and relish your spa experience.
