What do I do and use to deal with green hot tub water?

💚 Green Hot Tub Water? Here's Why—and How to Fix It

Green water doesn’t just look bad—it usually means your spa’s chemistry, filtration, or circulation is off. Let’s break it down:

🚨 What Causes Green Water?

🔹 Algae Growth Low sanitizer + high pH = perfect algae playground

🔹 Metal Contamination Copper and iron can tint water green—especially from well sources

🔹 Poor Circulation If chemicals aren’t moving, they aren’t working

🔹 High pH/Alkalinity Reduces your sanitizer’s punch

🔹 Organic Gunk Lotions, pollen, and detergents = foam + bacteria fuel

🔧 Troubleshooting Tips

✅ Test pH, alkalinity, sanitizer levels ✅ Rinse or replace old filters (>2 years) ✅ Shock the water (chlorine or non-chlorine) ✅ Adjust pH & alkalinity ✅ Use a metal remover if needed ✅ Drain & deep clean if problems persist

🧪 Chemicals That Help

🧼 Sanitizers (chlorine, bromine) 🧼 Shock treatments 🧼 pH/alkalinity adjusters 🧼 Clarifiers and enzymes 🧼 Metal removers 🧼 Algaecides (if you really need backup)
