Maintained water balance and sanitizer:

To ensure that the water is healthy and free of any form of harmful  microorganisms you need to regularly sanitize the water and you have to check total alkalinity and pH level of water to control bacteria growth in the water. There are sanitizing test strips to monitor the TA and pH. A bacteria test is now available for testing bacteria in the Spa Water.

Additives, cleaning compounds and chemicals used in the spa should be stored in a cool, dry and ventilated spot. Those cleaning compounds should be placed away from direct sunlight because many undergo a chemical reaction when exposed to heat. And always keep out of reach of children. Thorough instructions are usually found on chemical labels for safety measures and should be read.

Proper way to add spa chemicals to the spa water:

All spa chemicals should not be mixed onto the spa water. Instead, dissolve the dry chemicals in clean water using plastic bucket. After which you can pour this bucket of water and chemicals into the hot tub. The idea is to prevent possible damage to the acrylic shell or any PVC liner of the spa. Direct contact of the chemicals granules to the acrylic shell can cause damage especially on PVC liner of the spa.

Cautions of Alcohol and Drugs in the spa:

It is dangerous taking alcohol and drugs when in the spa as the hot water tends to amplify the effects of the alcohol and drugs. If you take medication consult first your physician if you are allowed to take on spa. The chemical reaction of drugs and alcohol in hot spa water can lead to dangerous consequences. Most people prefer drinking a chilled soft drink, mineral water or juice when using the spa.

The National Spa and Pool Institute state that 104 degrees F is the maximum hot water temperature for your spa. The recommended soaking time and temperature is not more than 15 minutes at 100 to 102 degrees F. Children and infants are sensitive to heat so the ideal temperature should not be more than 95 degrees F and no longer than 10 minutes.

Parents concerned with safety and Chlorine in Public Swimming Pools?

Parents with toddlers/kids do you ever worry, get concerned about the harsh chemicals like Chlorine in the public Swimming pools? Aren't chemicals like Chlorine extremely bad for kids and toddlers and even yourself?

I'd be more concerned and would even avoid a pool that wasn't chlorinated. The benefits outweigh the negatives, as long as it is done properly and monitored.
