Q. I have a pungent chlorine smell in my hot tub. How can I get rid of this?
A. This can be caused by too much or too little chlorine in your tub. Test and adjust the dosage using test strips to betweem 1-3ppm. Consider shock dosing.
It is good practise to shock the spa on a regular basis to break odurs and pollutants such as cosmetics and oils. Add fresh water to dilute if there is too much chlorine.
Q. How can I clear cloudy water in my hot tubs?
A. This is caused by poor or inadequate filtration. Clean the filter with cartridge cleaner. Use chlorine granules or spa sparkle to make the water clear. Increase the filter run time if still no results.
Q. The inside of my hot tubs feels really slimy. Hows can I get rid of this?
A. This is caused by lack of chlorine on your tub. Try wiping the walls then increaing the chorine levels. Consider shock dosing.
Q. Im finding it hard to adjust the PH in my hot tub?
A. This may be due to being in an area where there is very hard or soft water. Check the alkalinity and consider balancing the water. Consider hardness increaser.
Q. I get stinging eyes when I get into my hot tub?
A. This may mean your PH is either too low or too high. The chlorine levels may also be too low. The is can be rectified by testing and adjust to the required chemical on the PH chart.
Q. I get a build up a scale round the edge of my hot tub?
A. If you live in a particularly hard or soft water area then this may cause a lot of scale build up in your tub. Use anti-scale to get rid of this.
Q. I have a lot of foam build up in my tub. How can I get rid of this?
A. This is caused by make-up and body oils deposited into the tub. Ensure to have a shower before and after you get into your spa. Anti foam will get rid of the foam build up.

Hot Tub for the adults, garden play equipment for the kids

I was chatting to one of my friends over the weekend who sells Climbing Frames. Like our Hot Tubs and home spa equipment we offer at O2Relax, Climbing Frames UK only offer quality garden play equipment.
Our focus at O2Relax has changed since we first started the business. Back in the early days, our focus was very much on Hot Tubs, but the emphasis has now changed. Now we talk about Home Spa products, our product selection includes Steam Rooms, Massage Chairs, Infrared Saunas and Swim Spas.
The focus of O2Relax is now more health related then simply Hot Tub related. We know many of our Hot Tub patrons have children that regularly use Hot Tubs, Steam Rooms and Saunas that we have installed, but with child obesity on the rise is now not the time to invest in garden play equipment such as a wooden climbing frame to accompany home spa products?
I have to say that I am very impressed with the quality and diversity of the Climbing Frames on offer from Climbing Frames UK. The play systems are produced from American Redwood treated timber.
To complement your Home Spa with a quality climbing frame for your children would offer you more options to offer entertainment to your friends and relatives, especially if you have a young active family.
You could be sitting back enjoying your Hot Tub whilst your children enjoy an adventure on their pirate theme climbing frame!
With garden playsets ranging from £465 to £16,000, Climbing Frames UK have garden play equipment ideas to suit all budgets. A nice advanatage with the play equipment on offer is the ability to choose what elements you would like to have on the play equipment. The accessories available include Slides, Picnic Tables, Rock Walls, Monkey Bars, Playhouses, Fireman Poles and Trapeze Bars.
Climbing Frames offer an imaginitive way to keep your children fit and healthy and complements the more adult home spa equipment that you may have already installed.

Having seen this picture on Flickr, I seemed to wonder how the hell they managed to fit that many people in the hot tub. It just shows hot tubs are meant for every size, be it a tight squeeze.
Hot tubs are meant to be a social place where you can unwind and relax but this takes it to the max. They managed to fit 15 people in the tub with no inch to spare.
O2 relax sell all types of hot tubs and swim spas ranging from a 3 person to a 11 person tub. I would like to see how many people they could squeeze into one of them.
