Types of Chemical Cleaners for Your Spa  by: Karen Reader Having your very own spa can be fun and give you hours of relaxation. However, you have to maintain it if you want it to last for a long time. Keeping your spa clean is vital for your health and will ensure that your spa serves you well for many years. You can do this simply by sanitizing your spa regularly. Sanitizers kill harmful bacteria that grow in warm water. But at times this is easier said than done. A clean spa is possible only with the right chemicals. Still, scum may develop from time to time. This is composed of a number of hard water elements and foreign materials that stick to your spa. So how do you get rid of it? What chemicals should you use? Heres whats available at local stores: Chlorine is a popular sanitizer used in pools that comes in different concentrations. Spa owners have a choice of chlorine tablets and chlorine granules that are used specifically for spas. Bromine can be purchased as tablets, nuggets or granules. One form called sodium bromide is activated when mixed with an oxidizer like chlorine or potassium monopersulfate. Another type is called BCDMH which is a self-activating combination of chlorine and bromine. Many prefer bromine over chlorine since the former is an effective sanitizer that doesnt smell as bad as the latter. It has a wide range of pH levels and is often distributed through a floating feeder or cartridge system. Biguanide is a non-chlorine, non-bromine product that destroys harmful organisms by attacking the cell wall. The elimination of organics is done using a hydrogen peroxide-based oxidizer that burns organic matter and keeps the water clear. Compared to chlorine or bromine, this chemical has fewer odors and doesn't gas off at spa temperatures. For top quality spa covers at competitive prices, visit http://discountspacovers.com/.
