Lay-Z-Spa Rio Hot Tub, 140 AirJet Massage System Inflatable Spa with Freeze Shield Technology, 4-6 Person

Product Information

For low pH levels below 7.2 you will need to use pH Plus to help raise the pH levels and balance the water. For low TA levels below 80ppm you will need to use Total Alkalinity Increaser. The amount of TA + you need to add to your hot tub depends on the volume of water and how low your readings are. As a guide - a hot tub of 1,000 litres requires 18g to raise Total Alkalinity levels by 10ppm (parts per million). Inflatable hot tubs are a great investment, given that they are relatively affordable and provide a full spa experience. From built-in massage jets to rapid heat-up systems, hot tubs are a great way to relax while reading a book or to enjoy with friends and family during a gathering.

When the start of Covid/Corona virus started to become apparent that we could be facing a long time in "shut down" we started to make plans about what we might want to get us through the next few months. In came some bikes as part of the social distancing measures, along with a PS4 for me. My other half for months had badgered me that we should get a hot tub for home. I made the excuse that I didn't want to get one whilst we lived in rented home as it would be difficult to move. That was until we saw the Lay-Z-Spa Rio Hot Tub at a local super market. While some may shy away from using an inflatable hot tub during the winter, the majority of contemporary models are equipped with a heat maintenance system that keeps the water warm even during the colder months. So - as long as it's not raining - you can use your inflatable hot tub for most of the year. Are inflatable hot tubs expensive to run? When you’re ready to begin mixing your chemicals, you should handle them with chemical resistant gloves. The glove material has to be impermeable and resistant to the product/ the substance/ the preparation. It is also advised to wear tightly sealed goggles and appropriate protective clothing such as long sleeves, trousers, and closed-toed shoes that fully protect your feet from spills. You should also wash your hands after handling chemicals.

Now this had been the hit of last summer and although we were slightly late to the game we had some friends who sweared by it that it was the best thing that they had bought. After a small disagreement in the supermarket, off I went to find another trolly to put this beast into! The Lay Z Spa Rio does all of the essentials incredibly well, with an easy to use control panel that provides full operation of the heating, jets and energy usage, allowing you to relax in peace with no fuss. Not balancing the Total Alkalinity levels in your hot tub can cause a number of issues that can impact your spa experience. Weekend usage = Heating to 40°C on Friday, using the AirJets for 45 mins on Saturday & 45 mins on Sunday and turning off the heat after use on the Sunday.Outdoor storage areas for your hot tub chemicals should be situated away from anything flammable. Keep any petrol-powered equipment, like your lawnmower, in a different location. The storage area should also be away from sources of heat, like an outdoor fire pit or BBQ. Make sure that any outdoor storage of chemicals is as far away from your hot tub as possible and in a dry, covered area. Humidity or even small amounts of water can cause chemical reactions that could lead to dangerous fumes.

Clearwater Clarifier contains flocculants which bind small particles of debris and algae together so that your Lay-Z-Spa filtration system can adequately remove them, resulting in clean and sparkly water. This is a very effective way of preventing your spa water from looking dull and cloudy, due to the build-up of dead algae and debris that is too small to be trapped by your filter. Even if you have treated your spa for algae using Clearwater Algaecide, it is recommended that you use the Water Clarifier to remove any residual debris. Never mix different chemicals in concentrated forms. This includes the kit products but also with other products like bleach or weedkillers – a dangerous reaction may occur. Clearwater pH Plus , also known as ‘pH increaser’ is the best way to increase pH levels that have dropped below the recommended level. To avoid skin discomforts and enable the chlorine in your spa to work effectively, it’s vital that acidity is monitored and controlled. The recommended pH balance of spa water is between 7.2 and 7.6. Never use unlabelled chemicals and please read the instructions before use. Avoid getting chemicals in eyes, on skin or on clothing. Avoid breathing vapours when opening a container. Avoid creation of dust. Never add water to the product. Always add product to large quantities of water. Use separate clean dry utensils for each chemical and clean after use. Do not add the product to any dispensing device containing residuals of other products.Dip a ClearWater® Test Strip in the centre of your Lay-Z-Spa, remove and hold it still for 15 seconds. Always pre-dissolve chemicals in a clean, plastic container in a well-ventilated area. When pre-dissolving chemicals always add chemicals to water and not vice versa. Always add the chemicals to the water. If you are going away we would suggest emptying the hot tub and cleaning it so the water is not left to go stagnant. Do not re-fill until you return from your trip. Chlorine demand of water too high at start up, after holidays or due to excess contamination or neglect

Chlorine is a sanitiser that controls and prevents bacteria growth and is essential for the hot tub water to be clean and safe to use. The recommended Free Chlorine* level in a hot tub is 3-5ppm (parts per million). pH measures how acidic or alkaline your water is and the ideal range for hot tubs is between 7.2 and 7.6. Balanced pH is necessary for other chemicals to work properly and imbalanced pH levels can impact your hot tub components and cause skin irritation. Inflatable hot tubs can be expensive to run, but this all depends on how often you intend to use your tub and which model you opt for. For example, newer models have high-tech energy-saving systems which maintain the temperature for longer. It is important to get your hot tub Chlorine levels correct. Not enough Chlorine can result in unhygienic bathing conditions, whereas high Chlorine levels can cause irritated eyes or skin. Around 60% of UK households are in hard or very hard water areas. To avoid scale build-up (which can impact water quality and pump components) use a weekly dose of ClearWater Scale & Stain Controller.
