All Spa and Pool Services: The ultimate destination to spice up your pools and spas in Wellington

Here are the instructions on cleaning a Spa Pool:

• Clean out loose debris such as leaves with the leaf skimmer every time you use the spa. Sometimes known as the "butterfly net," this is the most basic tool got spa cleaning and is very important because it keeps debris from clogging up the circulation system.
• Vacuum your spa every week. Purchase a high quality spa vacuum and use it to pick up all the dirt that has settled on the bottom of the spa. You will need to clean the filter of the vacuum also to keep it performing well.
• Use a smaller and more maneuverable spa wand-type vacuum for hard-to-reach areas or quick cleanings. These are often powered by rechargeable batteries.
• Keep the baskets that catch debris from your spa clean. Check them at each use and clear them out. This also will protect the spa circulation system.

• Clean the walls of your spa by draining all the water and scrubbing the interior walls with scrubbing brushes and spa cleaner. Check the manufacturer
• specifications for recommended cleaners as this will vary depending upon whether your spa is gunite, vinyl, or fiberglass. Use only these recommended cleaners so as not to damage your spa or void the warranty. Use softer brushes for fiberglass spas and stiffer brushes for gunite. For tough mineral deposits on your spa, try using a 50 percent mix of muriatic acid and water, and then scrub with a brush. See the warnings section for safe use of muriatic acid.

SPA safety: Are spa safe?

"In many spa treatments that involve water, including hot whirlpool baths, very seldom do they change the water. They toss in some chlorine to keep bacteria counts down, but in no way does this eradicate organisms completely," says Philip Tierno Jr., PhD, director of microbiology at NYU Medical Center and author of The Secret Life of Germs.

And while he says some germs will succumb to chlorine, others, like those with a "biofilm" (a kind of molecular adhesive that binds several organisms together including those which cause Legionnaires' disease), it won't do a thing.

"You would need 1,500 times the amount normally used to kill it -- you would kill people before you would kill the organism," says Tierno.

And that, he says, means many spas can put you at risk. "It's not just heated pools and warm baths that are problem -- and it's not just Legionnaires' disease about which you should be concerned," he says. Other bacteria can also thrive in these conditions.

"These organisms love hot, wet environments -- spas are heated and steamy, and when you inhale vaporized water in this atmosphere you are potentially inhaling whatever organisms are present," he says.

Dermatologist Ellen Marmur, MD, says she's most concerned about risks to spa users seeking relief for skin problems, such as dermatitis or psoriasis. She says any break in the skin can increase the risk of germ transmission from surface areas like tables, baths, and even hot rocks or other items placed on the surface of the body during treatment.

"Even a bad sunburn can leave the skin compromised so that picking up an organism is easier," says Marmur. Moreover, she reminds us that some spa treatments such as full body exfoliation might actually increase risks further by creating microscopic tears in the skin that act as an invitation for germs to enter the body.
