Product Overview

Hot Tub Things® Metal Out is a concentrated stain and scale prevention treatment specifically formulated for hot tubs and spas. This chelating agent binds to dissolved metals in your water—including iron, copper, manganese, and calcium—preventing them from oxidizing and staining your spa surfaces, equipment, and water.

Whether you're filling your spa with well water high in minerals or dealing with metal contamination from source water, Metal Out provides continuous protection against the most common causes of spa staining and scale formation.

  • Initial Treatment: Add 4 oz per 500 gallons of spa water when filling or refilling your hot tub. Circulate for at least 30 minutes before adding other chemicals.

    Maintenance: Add 2 oz per 500 gallons weekly to maintain protection against metal staining and scale formation.

    Problem Water: If you have well water or know your source water contains high metal content, use the initial dose every time you add fresh water to your spa.
