hot tub water care and filtration
Most have their hot tub under control and always have wonderful water, with nothing standing in the way of enjoyment. Others, however, are in a constant battle with their hot tub water care, and that shouldn't be the case.
What is important for perfect hot tub water care?
To ensure that nothing stands in the way of your enjoyment, two points are important.
- Water care - Disinfection
- Water Care - Filtration
The disinfection must be appropriate. The pH value should be between 6.8 and 7.2, and a suitable disinfectant should be used in the correct amount. If these two points are met, the water should also be fine. The second point is to remove the dirt produced by the disinfection system. Because floating dirt makes maintenance significantly more difficult.
We, as hot tub filter specialists, will take a closer look at point two.
There is the ancient filter technology of paper cartridge filters and the new EGO3 filters. Once you have tried the EGO3 hot tub filter, you will never use anything else. Why?
- Because the EGO3 hot tub filter can absorb much more dirt, i.e. even if I clean less often or forget to do so, the hot tub filter does not immediately become full and stop filtering. EGO3 hot tub filter can absorb about 5 times as much dirt as conventional cartridge filters.
- Because the EGO3 hot tub filter filters everything, no matter how small the particles are. Paper filters can only filter particles down to about 40 microns. The finer particles below that simply remain in the water and continue to float around as micro-dirt, barely visible to the eye. The water always has a minimal odor, and the disinfection system (which doesn't need to see the dirt, it just needs it to be there ;-)) has a much harder time. This is measured by the turbidity of the water in NTU. Tap water has about 0.5 NTU. hot tub water remains around 0.5, but larger particles are filtered out by the filters and over time replaced by more and more microparticles from dead dirt. These almost invisibly burden the water. Not so with the EGO3 hot tub filter. Due to its special technology, it filters out every particle, no matter how small. This results in technically cleaned water (technical term) after about 2-3 weeks, with a demonstrably measurable turbidity of 0.1 NTU. 0.1 NTU means that any dirt, no matter how small, has been removed from the water and the detection limit has been reached.
- Because the EGO3 hot tub filter does not recontaminate the water when changed. When unscrewing, all dirt particles remain in the cartridge. In the paper cartridge filter, as you have surely seen with your hot tub, countless dirt particles detach again and are immediately back in the water.
That you also save time and money with all these advantages is a nice additional effect :-)
