Soak in Comfort
If you have allergies or sensitivities, finding time to relax in a spa can feel impossible. But with Aqua-Tech’s tips and tricks, you can enjoy a soothing soak without the discomfort. Let’s dive into how to create a hypoallergenic spa experience!

1. Regular Testing
One of the keys to a comfortable spa experience is maintaining proper water chemistry. Regular testing and balancing of your spa water are crucial to prevent irritation. High pH levels or elevated sanitizer concentrations can lead to skin discomfort, and cloudy water can exacerbate sensitivities. By keeping your water balanced, you ensure a clear, gentle soak that won’t leave you itching. Click here for test strips.
2. Choosing the Right Sanitizer
Sanitizers are essential for keeping your spa clean, but they can be harsh on sensitive skin. For a gentler option, consider bromine. This sanitizer is often preferred in spas as it tends to be less irritating. Plus, Our Mineraluxe Bromine remains softer even at higher levels, allowing you to relax without worry.


3. Outside Care Matters
Even if your water is perfectly balanced, the environment around your spa can still introduce irritants. Regularly clean your spa cover with a select product like Cover Cleanse & Protect. Plus, let’s not forget about the surfaces with a product like Surface Cleanse to prevent the buildup of contaminants. Wipe down the acrylic walls and clean the hot tub pillows too.
4. Filter Cleaning
Your spa filter plays a critical role in keeping the water clean by trapping debris and oils. A clean filter prevents water clarity issues and reduces irritation caused by excessive buildup. Consider investing in a multi-stage filter, which can catch finer particles and further enhance your water quality, as well as using a product like Mineraluxe Filter Revive.


5. Avoid Unnecessary Chemicals
Not all spa chemicals are created equal. Steer clear of harsh additives and opt for natural, enzyme-based cleaners, Like our hypo-allergenic Mineraluxe 3-Month Kit! This kit is much more gentle on your skin and helps maintain a comfortable environment. With its multi- action formula, It makes your spa feel like you’re soaking in a mineral bath after a spring rain! Additionally, it’s wise to avoid overly scented products that can trigger allergies or sensitivities.
6. Frequent Draining and Refilling
Due to the limited volume of spa water, draining and refilling regularly is vital. Typically, spas are drained every 3-4 months, but if you have sensitivities, you might consider doing this more often. As water ages, it can become more irritating, so a fresh refill can make a world of difference for your comfort. Make sure to use a spa cleaner prior to draining for squeaky clean pipes, like Dazzle Cleanse & Drain!

With these tips from Aqua-Tech, you can transform your spa into a hypoallergenic oasis. Regular maintenance, choosing the right products, and being mindful of your environment will help you enjoy a relaxing soak without irritation. So go ahead—take that well-deserved break and immerse yourself in the tranquility of your spa!
