Should You Buy a Hot Tub with a UV Cleaning System?

Should you buy a hot tub with a UV cleaning system? Well, that depends on your budget as well as the level of upkeep you want to have with your spa. However, UV sanitizing systems offer a great many benefits. First off, is the reduced use of harmful chemicals.
Let's face it, some forms of sanitizers in hot tubs are extremely harmful to the environment. Salt systems claim to be eco-friendly, however, they use bromine and chlorine in greater amounts than traditional hot tubs do.  People that are looking to buy a hot tub are looking for a greener way of treating their water.  That's where a UV system is extremely beneficial.  In fact, a UV system reduces chemical use by up to 80%.  A UV system doesn't impact the water in a negative way, in fact it makes the water sanitary.  In addition to the reduced use of chemicals, it also has an effect on the after-effects of spa chemicals.

Reduce Odor by Using UV

Chlorine and bromine have one thing in common, like all halogen type chemicals, they produce a very strong chemical odor that has a tendency to linger. Since hot tubs are heated water, a lot of times, as the water evaporates it leaves behind traces of the chemicals which as they're heated again produce chemical odors which are inhaled and can cause irritation both internally and externally as well on the eyes and skin. With a UV equipped hot tub, however, it stands to reason that since such spas use less chemicals, they also produce less chemical by products. UV technology is used to sterilize water in a lot of different industries, and it makes sense for a hot tub dealer to take advantage of this technology.

Ultimately, you want to make sure you get a spa that reduces the amount of maintenance that you have to do.  So when it is time to buy a new hot tub in Glendale, why not get one that is UV equipped?
