Hey, Hey, hot tubs.
Are you new to the hot tub world?
And you need to know what do I actually need to purchase to
actually take care of my hot tub?
Well, in this video, I'm gonna tell you everything that you need, and
we're going to get to take running that hot tub, like a smooth oiled machine.
So the first thing you need is a good test strip.
You need a good way to test your hot tub.
And yet I highly recommend the test strips.
They're the easiest to use, and you literally just dip them in and line.
'em up with the back of the hot tub.
And then you are actually going to line up your hot tub, the exact way that
you would, that you need to get it in.
So the first thing you always want to balance is going to be your nity.
You need that to be.
40 and 120 parts per million.
So that's your first thing.
The next thing you need is your pH, your pH needs to be at a 7.6.
I'm going to talk about chlorine today.
And my favorite is going to be frog at ease system.
That that is definitely the chlorine system of choice if
you're not on a salt system.
So that's what I highly recommend.
But that's what we're gonna do today.
So honestly your best test strip is gonna be the frog test strip,
but you can get just a regular chlorine test strip if you wanna do.
And then, so you're gonna keep that chlorine at a five part per million.
And the last thing is going to be your hardness.
And we wanna keep that under control.
And we'll talk about that more as we get into it.
So what you need to buy after you buy the test strips is you're
going to buy your balancers.
So you'll need to get.
pH increase.
And alkalinity increaser.
So those are two products that raise both the pH and alkalinity.
So they take them both up.
So I'll have links for everything down below, but that's what you need to get.
First, what you need to get second is your pH decreaser.
So when it comes to lowering alkalinity, there's only one product and one
product only, and that's pH decreaser that lowers both aquinity and pH.
If your aquiline is really high, you just take that pH and you very, very slowly,
couple tablespoons every day for eight to 16 days, you just put that in there
and you can get that aquinity down.
I will also put a link down below of dosage charts of what you need to do to
actually take your hot tub and balance it, to get everything where it needs to be.
So that those are the first three products you need to buy.
Now again, my product of choice when it comes to taking care of a
hot tub, if it is not a chlorine hot tub is the frog at E system.
So you'll need to get a chlorine cartridge, just like this one here,
and you will need to get a mineral cartridge, just like this one here.
If your hot tub doesn't already have the, the built in carriage for that,
like this one here, you'll get the frog.
Or you can also do the ball system, the ball system.
I really, really like, because it flips over when they run outta chlorine
and then you don't have to think about it, the cartridge system, you
actually have to change that cartridge.
And I actually put a reminder on my phone every three to four weeks.
So I actually remember to do that.
So super simple that mineral cartridge.
That you put that in the water every time you change the water.
So if you change the water after two.
You need to get a new mineral cartridge, but you put a new mineral cartridge
every three to four months months, which actually has some silver in it.
So that helps sanitize the water.
And if you're on, if you the chlorine cartridge, you want to change
that every three to four weeks.
Again, if you're on this, just put a reminder on your phone.
Or if you're on the ball system, it'll actually flip over.
It's totally awesome.
And I, I totally recommend going, going that route.
If you're, if you're going to do that again, links are all
down below in the description.
You'll also want to get some chlorine concentrate.
So if that frog system ever gets, gets away from you, you can always help it out
by adding just a little extra flooring.
So that is a good way to go as well.
And then the next thing you're going to need is what we call.
Shock.
And I prefer the enhanced shock.
It has a little bit of chlorine in it.
That is a once a week program that you're gonna have to put
into the, into the system.
It will help so much.
And I highly recommend that you shock your hot tub once a week, when you shock that
hot tub, make sure you take that cover off so everything can gas out, actually
get out of the hot tub that works super.
So, and then the next thing you're going to need is going
to be either a calcium hardness.
Increaser most people don't need that.
It's pretty rare, but a calcium hardness, increaser this product here.
If, if you have super low hardness, cuz you do need to have a certain
amount of hardness in the hot tub.
And if you don't have that, the water well balance itself, and it'll
start pulling it out of things like.
Shell the heater, the motors, the plumbing, that type of stuff.
So it is really important that your, your hot tub has these certain hard.
Factor if it's too hard, which is what 90% of the customers out there have,
you have to keep that hardness in solution so that it doesn't form scale.
And if it starts to form scale, that's a whole nother program.
And we wanna definitely make sure that we are.
Taking care of that.
My favorite product for that is called stain and scale control.
This product here.
I've been a fan of this for years.
Absolutely love it.
It's a once a week program works.
Fantastic.
I actually think it's as important for your hot tub as oil is for your car.
You really, really wanna use that.
So guys, I mean that, that is really what you need.
Those are the basics.
Those are everything that you.
To take care of your hot tub.
If you are on a chlorine system, so you need test strips, you
need chlorine, you need shock.
You need your balancers, your pH increaser, your pH
decreaser and your alkalinity.
Increaser and you need your stain and stale control.
Or your calcium hardness increaser those are the products you need.
I have a whole kit built down here below.
Makes it super simple.
You buy that kit, you're gonna have everything you need to
take care of that hot tub.
And it is definitely the way to go.
