Hot Tub Supplies and Chemicals

An important consideration for any home spa owner is where to find and buy hot tub supplies. There are many sources for disinfection and cleaning products, filters, water balancing and testing kits, but not all are created equal. The best way to care for your hot tub properly is to find a good supplier for the right chemicals and supplies, and to make sure you know the correct way to use them.

If you are new to the world of hot tub ownership, your best choice is to buy home spa chemicals and supplies from your local retailer. Most retailers include an initial supply of the proper additives with the spas they sell, and then demonstrate how to use them, but it is very common for novice owners to need additional help with their tubs. When you buy your supply from a reputable retailer, you are assured of getting the right hot tub chemical for whatever need you may have, plus the expertise and assistance to help you to use it properly.

Hot Tub Water Maintenance Supplies

  • Disinfection – Chlorine/Bromine floating chemical dispensers
  • Water Filtration Supplies - Replacement filters and filter cleaning compounds
  • Water Balance Chemicals – Alkalinity and hardness increasers, ph increasers/decreasers, enzyme scum digesters
  • Water Testing – Bromine and chlorine testing strips, bacterium testing
  • Home Spa Cleaning Products – Scum and scouring mitts, brushes, vacuums, surface cleaners, system flush, etc.

When you are comfortable and practiced at maintaining the proper water condition in your home spa, you may want to consider buying your chemical supply from a discount or online store. You will nearly always find lower prices at those sources. Online stores in particular generally carry a very wide assortment of supplies and parts for your hot tub, along with novel and fun accessories. Beware of vendors whose prices are substantially lower than the rest, though, because often their products are not as fresh or as potent because they are older and/or surplus items.

Regardless of where you choose to buy the chemicals and supplies for your home spa, remember to store the materials properly in a dry area away from your hot tub. A location that locks securely is best, ensuring that your items stay safe and are out of the reach of children.
