How can I prevent algae in my cold plunge tub?

Preventing algae in your cold plunge tub requires regular maintenance and monitoring of water quality. Keeping the water clean and clear is essential, which involves frequent cleaning and ensuring that the filtration system is functioning properly.

Regularly sanitizing the water with appropriate chemicals will help inhibit algae growth. Additionally, ensuring that the tub is covered when not in use can reduce sunlight exposure, which also contributes to algae growth.

For instance, if you notice algae beginning to form, it’s often a sign that the water hasn’t been properly sanitized or that cleaning hasn’t been frequent enough. If algae do appear, draining the tub and thoroughly cleaning it is necessary to eliminate the problem.

Pro Tip: Use algaecide specifically designed for cold plunge tubs to help prevent algae growth effectively.

However, if you find that algae problems persist despite your cleaning efforts, it might indicate an underlying issue with your filtration system that needs to be addressed.
