Why Free Spa Water Testing Matters This Summer

Cloudy water? Weird smell? Your hot tub is trying to tell you something—and we’re here to help.

Summer is a great time to relax in your hot tub... but it’s also when your water chemistry can change in a flash. Heat waves, higher usage, and sun exposure can all mess with your spa's balance. That’s why free water testing is one of the best things you can do to protect your investment and enjoy every soak stress-free.

What Is Spa Water Testing, and Why Is It Important?
Every time you use your hot tub, the water absorbs:

• Body oils, sunscreen, and lotions
• Sweat and debris
• Changes from temperature and pH exposure

Your spa’s filters and chemicals work hard, but they can only do so much without balanced water chemistry. When your pH, alkalinity, or sanitizer levels are off, your water can:

• Turn cloudy or foamy
• Irritate skin and eyes
• Damage pumps and jets over time
• Become a breeding ground for bacteria

Testing your water is like checking your car's oil. It prevents bigger problems, helps your spa run better, and saves you money on repairs.

We Make It Easy, And It’s Free!
Just bring us a small water sample from your hot tub, and we’ll:

• Test your pH, alkalinity, and sanitizer levels
• Review your results with you
• Recommend the exact products and doses you need

We use professional in-store testing equipment, and our staff can explain what’s going on and how to fix it, whether it’s a simple pH bump or a full system flush.

No appointment needed. No purchase required. And yes, it’s 100% free.
