Spa Maintenance Made Simple: Easy Weekly Spa Care Guide
Owning a spa should be all about relaxing — not worrying about complicated maintenance. The good news? Keeping your spa water clean and balanced is actually very simple once you know the basics.
Choosing the Right Sanitiser
Sanitiser is what keeps your spa water clean, clear, and safe by eliminating bacteria and contaminants.
At our store, we stock two popular options:
Peroxil (peroxide-based sanitiser)
A great low-odour option that works effectively to keep your water clean while being gentle and easy to manage.
Biguanide sanitiser
Biguanide is a chlorine-free sanitiser that is:
Odourless
Gentle on skin
Ideal for those sensitive to harsher chemicals
It’s a great option if you’re after a more natural-feeling soak without the strong smell often associated with traditional sanitisers.
Getting Started is Easy
Every Sapphire Spa purchased through us comes with a complimentary AquaSpa start-up kit, packed with everything you need to confidently maintain your spa water from day one.
No confusion — just simple, straightforward care.

Don’t Forget Your Water Balance
Alongside your weekly routine, it’s important to:
Test your water weekly using test strips
Maintain proper pH, alkalinity, and calcium hardness levels
This keeps your water comfortable and ensures your sanitiser works effectively.
A Few Simple Tips
Run only your filtration pump when adding chemicals
Add each product 30 minutes apart
After regular use, adding a small amount of shock can help keep your water fresh and clear
Ongoing Care (That’s Still Easy)
Keeping your spa in great condition long-term is just as simple:
Drain and refill every 3–6 months, depending on usage
A fresh refill makes balancing your water easier and keeps everything feeling clean and enjoyable.
