• A 300-gallon whirlpool hot tub weighs approximately 300 gallons × 8.34 pounds = 2,502 pounds (about 1,134 kilograms) when filled with water • A 600-gallon whirlpool hot tub weighs approximately 600 gallons × 8.34 pounds = 5,004 pounds (about 2,270 kilograms) • A 1,000-gallon whirlpool hot tub weighs approximately 1,000 gallons × 8.34 pounds = 8,340 pounds (about 3,785 kilograms) when filled with water

Grounding is one of the basic safety requirements for any electrical equipment. For outdoor whirlpool bathtubs, especially when used outdoors, it is particularly important to ensure that they have a good grounding system.

If air lock occurs, users will notice that the water flow of the outdoor whirlpool bathtub is significantly weakened or even stops completely. Even if the pump is started, the water flow is still very weak and cannot achieve the normal massage effect.

Ultraviolet rays (UV) in sunlight also have a significant impact on the consumption of chlorine, especially in outdoor whirlpool hot tubs. UV rays can directly decompose chlorine in the water, converting it into harmless chlorides, causing the chlorine content to drop rapidly.

Shock is not applicable to the adjustment of outdoor whirlpool hot tub pH values ​​that are too high in all cases. In most cases, "shock" is used to drastically adjust the pH value, water quality or disinfection in water, especially when abnormal water quality is found.

If the outdoor whirlpool hot tub water has a high concentration of algae or copper, long-term use of this water may cause skin discomfort. For example, when there are too many copper ions, it may cause itching, allergic reactions, or symptoms such as rashes.

As for whether the outdoor whirlpool hot tub can be opened and used normally without water, the answer is: No. The reason is that many core components of the whirlpool hot tub rely on the flow of water to work properly, and the lack of water will cause a series of problems.

In theory, a 200-gallon outdoor whirlpool bathtub requires a flow rate of approximately 5 to 7 gallons per minute (GPM) to achieve an ideal massage effect, and the water flow pressure should be maintained between 30 and 50 pounds per square inch (psi) to ensure the impact force of the water flow.

Legionella prefers to grow in water between 20°C and 45°C. If your whirlpool hot tub is kept in this temperature range for a long time, especially between 25°C and 42°C, the risk of Legionella proliferation will increase.

For patients with urinary tract infections, soaking in a hot tub for a long time may affect the normal function of the urinary system, leading to increased water loss and urine concentration, which may further irritate the bladder, thereby aggravating the symptoms of urinary tract infections, such as urinary pain and urgency.

Some high-end outdoor whirlpool hot tubs are equipped with a low temperature heating function to slowly heat the water in the tub. If this function is not available, you can use a heater or heat gun to gradually heat the water and control the rate of temperature increase.

The heater is one of the most critical components in winter maintenance. Check the working status of the heater every once in a while to ensure that it can maintain the water temperature normally. If the outdoor whirlpool hot tub heater is found to be unstable, it should be replaced or repaired in time.
