After 3 weeks of regular hot tub therapy, patients experienced more improvement in their health, compared to those who were only given medications. After 6 months, the improvements increased in the tub users, and their use of anti-inflammatory drugs decreased.

Taking Care of Your Hot Tub
A hot tub offers you so many advantages, and if you want to keep enjoying all these hot tub health benefits, it is very important for you to take proper care of the tub. Follow the below given maintenance tips, and things are sure to be very easy for you.
Filter maintenance
One of the best ways to keep your hot tub in perfect condition is to properly clean and maintain your filter. To make sure the water filters properly, you need to clean the filter or change it at least once in 5 – 6 weeks.
While cleaning the filter, carefully follow the manufacturer’s instructions. If you have a replaceable filter, then keep a second filter with you, so that you can change it whenever needed.
Water maintenance
Water maintenance comprises three main components – water filtration, water sanitation, and pH control/chemical balance.
You can achieve water sanitation by regularly adding a sanitizer, which has been suggested by your hot tub dealer. The sanitizer, generally chlorine or bromine-based one, will help control algae or bacteria growth in your tub water.
