How a Spa Works

Circulation

Using circulation, Laguna Med Spa can improve your health, reduce stress, and provide you with the best spa experience possible. But there are some things to consider when deciding which pump to buy.

The circulation system in a hot tub circulates water around the pool to keep it sanitized, fresh, and clean. In addition to providing filtration, it keeps the water warm.

A circulation pump is typically plumbed in line with your heater. It draws low electricity to move the water and can run 24 hours daily.

The most efficient circ pump should be able to filter all of the water in your spa several times per day. In addition, some models have an air bleeder knob that lets you push air out of the lines.

Filtration

Whether you want to improve water clarity or remove unwanted debris, there are various ways to filter in a spa. It is essential to find a filter that will fit your needs. It should be easy to use and require little maintenance.

When choosing a filter, consider the number of bathers that you expect to have. If your spa has a high bather load, installing a higher-performance filtration system may be better. Increase the filtration cycle.

There are two main types of filters. The first is a cartridge filter. The cartridge has a different design than a sand filter.

The cartridge filter should be cleaned every 6-8 weeks. You can also backwash the filter regularly if you have a deeper spa.

Ozonators

Having an Ozonator installed in your spa can dramatically improve your water quality. Ozone is a powerful oxidizer that can remove bacteria, algae, and other contaminants from the water. It is a natural cleaning agent that also reduces the irritation caused by chemical sanitizers.

Two main types of devices generate ozone. The first type is the UV or Corona discharge device. These devices produce ozone by absorbing and splitting oxygen molecules using ultraviolet light. This is a relatively simple process.

The second type of device generates ozone by injecting it into the water. These devices are the most efficient and effective method for introducing ozone into the spa.

An Ozonator can be added to your spa for a few hundred dollars. These devices are available for both hotels and hot tubs. It is essential to install the appliance correctly to ensure it performs well.

Manifolds

Whether replacing a damaged spa manifold or adding to an existing system, you’re sure to find an array of options on the market. There are even manifolds fashioned after the standard hot tub fixture, which allows you to customize your installation to suit your needs. You can also choose from models designed to work with most spa brands and model years. The plethora of choices also means you’ll never be stuck with a faulty manifold too large to use.

The best part is that these manifolds are easy to install. They’re also made from high-quality PVC, making them last for years. Choosing the correct manifold for your spa can make or break your enjoyment of your home water feature.

Pumps

Depending on your spa pump, you can choose to use two speeds. A low rate is used for heating cycles and filtration. High speed is used to power jets. There are also dedicated pumps that do only circulation. As a result, they use less energy than traditional spa pumps.

When buying a new pump, you need to consider two things. First, you need to know what your old pump was. You can tell by measuring the distance between the through bolts in the wet end.

Then, you need to determine the frame number. There are 48 or 56 frame units. A 56-frame team has a stronger motor and longer service life. A 48-frame unit is cheaper and smaller. You can find the frame number on the pump sticker.

Next, you must ensure the new pump has the same horsepower as the old one. Changing the horsepower may cause damage to your pump or your spa plumbing system.
