Caring For Your Hot Tub, Swim Spa, or Pool After Fires

Monday, September 14th, 2020

By Laura Varnon, Marketing Coordinator

Hot tub, swim spa and pool water care can get tricky sometimes, especially when you add in falling ash and smoke from the recent fires that are happening in California, Nevada, and other areas along the West Coast.

Extra debris falling into your hot tub, swim spa or pool may result in your sanitization system requiring more chlorine. We have a variety of chlorinating products available in store and on our online store. Shop now.

How to care for your Hot Tub, Swim Spa, or Pool After the Fires in California

Free Water Testing

At The Spa and Sauna Company family of stores, in Reno, Sparks, San Jose and Santa Cruz, we offer FREE in-store water testing, to help determine exactly how your hot tub, swim spa or pool has been affected by falling ash or intense smoke in the area.

Read more about our computerized water testing that provides instant recommendations here. Look for your nearest store location that provides water testing here.

Recommendations for Water Care after the Fires

  • Be sure to test your water frequently, and consider bringing in a water sample to one of our showrooms for a free water analysis. You will want to pay extra attention to pH and sanitizer residuals, and correct any imbalances as soon as possible.
    • Ash coming from trees and other vegetation contains large amounts of carbonate, which can radically increase the pH of your water.
    • Shocking with chlorine if the free chlorine residual is low until a free chlorine residual is successfully maintained
  • Be sure to keep your filters running (and clean)
  • If your hot tub, swim spa or pool has a cover, keep it on during times of falling ash or intense smoke

We also have an online store where you can pick up a few extra items that you might need. Shipping is FREE on orders of over $75. Just select Free Shipping at checkout.

  • Test Strips. Click here to shop test strips.
  • Any of the usual sanitation you normally use for your hot tub. Shop here.

Heavily Affected Areas

Additionally, in areas of particularly bad fallout, or in cases where the entire system was shut down due to lack of power, damage, etc., we recmmend the use of a portable vacuum cart to do the initial vacuuming to pull up as much of the settled debris as possible before re-starting the filtration system.
