What is AquaFinesse?

AquaFinesse is an environmentally friendly, natural water treatment system that is not a sanitiser but does play a vitally important role in the control of bacteria in your hot tub or spa.

With a once-weekly dose of AquaFinesse you will be left with crystal clear spa water which is gentle on the skin and safe for the environment, whilst leaving you with more time to enjoy your hot tub rather than maintaining it!

How does AquaFinesse Work?

Many people are surprised when we tell them that AquaFinesse is not a sanitiser that's why we've created this page which we hope will answer most of the common questions we're asked.

AquaFinesse works by breaking down and preventing the formation of the "houses" that bacteria live in which is called Biofilm.

Around 99% of all bacteria in spas are found in biofilm so by removing the biofilm with the use of AquaFinesse the amount of sanitiser required to maintain safe levels is drastically reduced leaving you with a much more enjoyable bathing experience.

Do I need to use a sanitiser as well as AquaFinesse?

The short answer is Yes!

As we previously said AquaFinesse is not a sanitiser, so to ensure the harmful bacteria in the spa are killed AquaFinesse is supplied with either chlorine granules or bromine granules or tablets

Can I use aromatherapy with AquaFinesse?

Yes, you can use aromatherapy crystals with Aqua finesse, but do not use oil/liquid-based.

I am using AquaFinesse and the spa water is cloudy?

If you have not deep cleaned your spa with an Aquafinesse Spa Clean Puck before commencing with the AquaFinesse treatment, you may experience some cloudy water during the first few weeks.

This cloudiness is not generally a problem but simply a sign that AquaFinesse's formula is doing its job and deep cleaning the pipework and surface areas. This cleaning or conditioning process should not take very long (a few weeks maximum) for newer spas with no significant Biofilm build-up, the conditioning process may take only a few days.

We also recommend using a non-chlorine shock weekly (on a different day than when you add the Aquafinesse) or after periods of heavy bather load.

Aquafinesse Spa Clean Puck - Use just before you begin to use Aquafinesse. Also good as an occasional cleaner.

Non-Chlorine Shock - Using this weekly or after a heavy bather load as a shock dose alongside Aquafinesse will help keep the water crystal clear.

I use Aquafinesse. Is it safe to drain the water onto the garden?

Yes, AquaFinesse is environmentally friendly so it will not damage your garden, plants etc.

I want to convert to Aquafinessse. Can I use AquaFinesse in a spa that already has chlorine or bromine in it?

If the spa has just been filled with water and 'shocked' then you can switch to AquaFinesse. For a spa that has had Chlorine or Bromine in it for a week or more, we recommend that you first drain the spa and refill it with fresh water before using AquaFinesse.

Which sanitiser is best to use with AquaFinesse? Can I Use Bromine with Aquafinesse?

Yes, we do a Bromine AquaFinesse kit depending on personal preference and the spa manufactures recommendations.

What happens if I overdose the spa with too much AquaFinesse?

This can have a detrimental effect on the filters, which may mean a complete drain and refill of the spa and cleaning of the filters.

With Aquafinesse How often should I clean/change the filters in the spa?

AquaFinesse places a lot of emphasis on the filters doing their job properly during the first week to 10 days of its introduction into your spa. You can help this process by cleaning the filters daily and drying them before re-introducing them into the spa. After the initial conditioning period you should clean the filters weekly. We recommend purchasing a second set of filters to rotate; this will allow each set to dry out thoroughly in-between usage.
