There’s nothing better than stepping into a bubbling spa full of piping hot, crystal clear water. However, water doesn’t stay clear for long without a bit of care and attention. It’ll soon turn cloudy and dirty if you don’t maintain it. If you’re new to the hot tub world, we’ll explain why your hot tub water can suddenly turn cloudy and what you can do about it!
Why Does Hot Tub Water Turn Cloudy?
Hot tubs wash a surprising amount of dirt off your body. Even if you shower before getting in the tub, you’ll likely still have trace amounts of make-up, hair products, and dirt on your skin. When you climb into the tub, these tiny particles will wash off your body along with small skin flakes, hairs, and body oil. All of this circulates around your hot tub water, and while it sounds disgusting, it’s not really an issue as most of it should be picked up by your hot tub filter. The problem is that many of these particles are just too small for your filter to pick them up, so they’ll continue to circulate around your tub. If enough of these particles build up, your water will start to turn cloudy.
If your hot tub water suddenly turns cloudy, this indicates there’s a problem with your filter system. Usually, it’ll just be clogged up and in need of a clean, so you can sort it with a filter cleaner treatment. If there’s a more serious problem with your filter, you might need to contact the manufacturer for some advice.
How to Get Rid of Cloudy Hot Tub Water
Luckily, there’s a simple trick to making your hot tub water crystal clear again. All you need is a bottle of water clarifier! A good quality spa clarifier will only need a couple of capfuls to take effect, so a single bottle should last you ages. Just tip the required amount into your hot tub water and wait 20-30 minutes. After this time has passed, the water should be clear and it’ll be safe to jump in the tub again!

How Does Water Clarifier Work?
How does this miracle hot tub chemical actually work? The answer is actually quite simple. It’s a coagulant, meaning it causes all the tiny particles of dirt in your hot tub water to stick together. This means it’s much easier for your filter to pick them up, so they’ll be filtered out in a matter of minutes.
How Often Should I Use Water Clarifier?
Water clarifier can be used to clear up cloudy water, but it’s best to use it as a preventative measure to keep your spa crystal clear all year round! We recommend using it once a week for best results. This will keep your water clean and hygienic, and will also help improve your filter’s performance and lifespan.
