How do Mineral Sticks Work in a Spa or Hot Tub?
[body] Mineral sticks are typically added to the filter system so that as the water is filtered, the time-release sticks add a consistent quantity of minerals to the water. They can last for months, and reduce the need for other chemicals.
Most are also very easy to install – they are placed in the filter basket, where they quietly do their job day after day to keep your spa or hot tub’s water clean, sparkling, and odor-free.
What Are the Different Types of Spa & Hot Tub Mineral Sticks?
Mineral sticks improve your water in a variety of ways, including:
- Sanitizing (keeping a constant level of cleaning agent in the pool to inhibit harmful biologicals)
- Softening & enhancing (adding minerals that make water silky and refreshing)
- Balancing (preventing wild swings in pH)
Some mineral sticks even protect your swimwear from the wear caused by spa or hot tub water (unfortunately you’re on your own with barbeque sauce stains).
