A hot tub is a place to relax, but without proper water care, it can quickly become a breeding ground for bacteria and algae. Spa chemicals are the key to maintaining safe, clean, and comfortable water. In Ottawa, where seasonal changes affect water balance, choosing the right products is critical. If you prefer not to manage chemicals yourself, Mr.Spa offers maintenance packages that handle all your water care for you!
