Keeping your hot tub clean is an essential part of hot tub care. If you don’t keep the water pure, you risk ruining not only your health, but also your hot tub. A few types of sanitizers exist as well as supplemental items that will enhance the cleansing power.

Chlorine is the first type of purifier. Of course, chlorine is used in swimming pools to keep them clean, but a special type of chlorine is made to clean hot tubs. The concentration of chemicals is different, however. You can get them in granules or tablets. However, it gives off an odor similar to bleach, which can make people with allergies ill.

Bromine is another chemical sanitizer used in their care. It comes in tablet, nugget or granule form. However, bromide needs to be activated with an oxidizer such as chlorine or a non-chorine alternative, potassium monopersulfate. Sometimes, bromine comes pre-mixed with chlorine for your convenience. Most people prefer bromine to pure chlorine because it gives off fewer odors and works in a variety of pH levels. Use bromine through a floating feeder or cartridge system and it will keep your hot tub’s water clean and sparkling.

You can also clean them with biguanide. This is a non-chlorine, non-bromide substance that kills off bacteria. Problem bacteria are then removed with a hydrogen peroxide oxidizer used to burn off the bacteria and keep the water clean. Fever odors emerge from this system.

Some now come with ozone, an oxidizer, not a purifier. It is beneficial because it reduces the amount of sanitizers needed to keep them clean. You need an “ozonator” to use the benefits of ozone, and most new ones have one now. You still need to use bromine, chlorine or biguanide to purify, though, as the ozone is only a helper, not a full system of cleansing.

Using a spray gun to apply paint can be quicker and easier than other methods and can give a better finish. Some paints – car body finishes, for example – are specially formulated for spraying; other paints can be sprayed provided that they are ‘thinned’ with solvent.

Successful spraying requires a fair degree of skill and knowledge both about the paint you’re applying and the paint spraying equipment itself.

Types of spray gun

There are two main types of spray gun: with separate compressors or airless.

Spray guns with separate compressors

These are the conventional design of spray gun. Originally, they had large compressors plus a bulky ‘receiver’ to balance out fluctuations in pressure. This type of equipment can still be bought (or hired), but the amateur is more likely to be interested in one of the range of smaller guns with separate compressors. The compressor, which is electrically powered, provides a supply of air under pressure to the gun which has a container for the paint. Some of the air passes into the paint container to pressurise the paint; the remainder comes out through the nozzle as a fine stream. When the gun’s trigger is pulled back, a needle valve at the back of the nozzle is opened and the paint passes up from the container past the needle and into the air flow. The paint mixes with the air flow to provide a fine spray from the nozzle. The amount of paint that flows can be controlled by the trigger the further that the trigger is pulled back, the more paint that flows – though in practice the amount is limited by the power of the compressor.
