Hot Tub Things® SPAPURITY® Mineral Cartridge

Q: How long does a mineral cartridge last in a hot tub? A: The SPAPURITY Mineral Cartridge lasts approximately 4 months (120 days) with normal use. After this period, the mineral content becomes depleted and should be replaced for continued effectiveness.

Q: Do mineral cartridges really work in hot tubs? A: Yes, mineral cartridges are proven effective at reducing bacteria and algae through the controlled release of silver and copper ions. They can reduce chemical usage by up to 50% while maintaining clean, clear water.

Q: Can you use too many minerals in a hot tub? A: Using one mineral cartridge as directed is safe. Using multiple cartridges simultaneously is not recommended as excessive mineral levels can cause staining or discoloration.

Q: What is the difference between mineral cartridges and regular sanitizers? A: Mineral cartridges provide continuous, passive water treatment using natural elements, while traditional sanitizers (chlorine/bromine) provide active oxidation. Mineral cartridges supplement but don't replace sanitizers.

Q: Are mineral hot tubs better for your skin? A: Yes, mineral-treated water is generally softer and less irritating because you use fewer harsh chemicals. Many users report reduced skin dryness, less eye irritation, and a more pleasant soaking experience.

Q: How do I install a SPAPURITY Mineral Cartridge? A: Simply place the cartridge in your filter compartment where water flows around it. No tools or special installation required. It typically stands vertically next to or near your filter.
