Summer is officially here, and it's shaping up to be a scorcher! With temperatures climbing into the 90s and even triple digits across many regions, finding ways to stay cool becomes a top priority. One of the quickest and most refreshing solutions? Taking a dip in your Master Spas swim spa.
Designed to provide a rejuvenating backyard oasis year-round, Master Spas swim spas are the perfect antidote to summer's sweltering heat. But how do you ensure the water temperature remains invitingly cool during those relentless hot days?
In this Facebook Live video, Master Spas swim spa experts Ben Gilliam and Mari Cuticelli share their pro tips to help you beat the heat and keep your swim spa water perfectly refreshing all summer long.
One of the biggest challenges swim spa owners face during heat waves is temperature creep — when the water gradually warms up beyond your desired set temperature. Gilliam and Cuticelli explain what causes this phenomenon and how to prevent it, from properly venting your insulated cover to adding shade sails.
Clean, clear water is the perfect backdrop to summer afternoons by the swim spa. You want to make sure that you are staying on top of maintenance so that the water is ready when you are.
Summer temperatures and more people using the swim spa can affect your water chemistry. Regularly use test strips to monitor and adjust your water’s alkalinity, pH, and chlorine levels to maintain balance and safety.
If you've turned down the water temperature to beat the heat, you might find that cooler water requires fewer chemicals, making it easier to keep your swim spa clean and clear.
