Just as sitting in a warm bath can have therapeutic effects on your body, a soak in a hot tub can have even a greater impact on your tired and sore muscles.

In some parts of the country, the chemical composition of your water can have very detrimental effects on the water contained in your swim spa, pool and even hot tub.

The calcium and other elements found in hard water can cause your swim spa or hot tub equipment to become very gummed up, ineffective and can even cause the water to become scaly and slimy feeling.

One of the great benefits of a swim spa is the fact that they require less maintenance than a traditional or full sized pool requires.

One of the obvious reasons for this is due to the fact that a swim spa contains much less water than a full sized pool does. While this is great, the fact remains that we still need to take the proper steps to keep our swim spas clean and free from harmful water born bacteria and other detrimental pollution.
