Water quality and spa heaters

There are many variables to consider when owning a hot tub. Water quality is a main one to think about becasue of the level of hardness or the amount of minerals it contains can have a huge impact on your spa. When the water quality is well controlled, particularly in terms of its level of hardness, the spa heaters spa heaters may last for up to 7 or 8 years. More typically, though, they last for 4 or 5 years. However, if the water quality is not maintained, and it is allowed to become unduly hard, the minerals will bond to the heating element and the spa heaters will need to be replaced much sooner, often within 2 or 3 years. You can find out more about this problem at Key to Clean Water, in the Info section, and can purchase products to minimize the problem at Chemicals in the Products section.
