The Basics of Hot Tub Sanitation

For those that are new to the world of hot tubs, the concept of hot tubs with built in sanitation systems can be viewed as the equivalent of smoke and mirrors. The built in systems do serve a superb purpose and they come with their own set of pros and cons, and once explained, they are highly desired. A salesman will be able to provide you with a great deal of information, but it will be quite confusing and tedious to decipher. The following will assist you in understanding the option of UV sanitation for your new hot tub in the simplest form possible.
Regardless of the sanitation system that is chosen, there is not one that will fully eliminate the need for a halogen sanitizer such as bromine or chlorine. Therefore when choosing the hot tub that is able to fit your needs, it is important that you keep a minute amount of bromine or chlorine residual within the water. This residual will ensure that your new hot tub will be completely sanitized.
The express goal of UV sanitation is to reduce the overall demand of the bromine and/or chlorine.

Ultraviolet (UV) Light Hot Tub Sanitation

UV lighting has a great number of frequency spectrums and there are certain ones that have been proven to be very destructive to living organisms. The most important aspect to keep in mind as it pertains to UV lighting is that it does not kill anything. What UV sanitizing does is scramble the DNA and RNA of an organism rendering it inactive. Specifically targeted are organisms that include: protozoa, algae and bacteria. This, essentially, means that it can no longer reproduce. Therefore any form of virus or bacteria that the lighting comes in contact with becomes harmless to you.

This is a cutting edge form of sanitation that is able to utilize germicidal UV light in order to sanitize the water within the tub. The electromagnetic energy is highly concentrated and is also able to destroy additional organic materials that are commonly found within spas and hot tubs. This level of destruction drastically decreases the production of chlorine byproducts that are known to be very dangerous. It is these types of byproducts that tend to lead to cancers, allergies and asthma.
So remember, a hot tub is all about health.  Make sure you keep yourself healthy.  One way to do this?  Buy a hot tub with a built in UV sanitizing system.
