Hot tubs require a lot of maintenance that includes filters, chemicals, water maintenance and refilling the hot tub when you lose water. To save on water usage, people often wonder if they can use rainwater to refill their hot tub. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
It’s perfectly fine to use rainwater in your hot tub. You can collect rainwater through a drainage system on your home and take it straight to the hot tub, or you can collect it in barrels and dump it in later. Either way, however, make sure that you have a filter system to collect dirt and debris from your rainwater before it enters the hot tub. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Using rainwater in your hot tub does a good job of saving water, but it also requires extensive filtering and cleaning. People often make the mistake of assuming that rainwater is clean because it’s natural. While that’s true to a certain extent, rainwater still needs to be filtered. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Rainwater in itself isn’t bad for hot tubs, but it often contains dirt and dust that can be bad for it. Using rainwater is fine for your hot tub, but there are certain measures you should take before using it. Because rain is from a different source than your tap water, the alkalinity will be different. Rainwater also picks up dirt and pollution as it’s falling through the air. <\/p>\n\n\n\n If you’ve made the decision to use rainwater to keep your hot tub water levels where you want them, here are some important details you need to know. There are several ways to collect rainwater and we’ll discuss each one so that you know what to expect. <\/p>\n\n\n\n One of the ways that people collect rain for their hot tubs is by capturing it in barrels, called rain barrels. Capturing water in barrels before transferring it to your hot tub allows you to adjust the alkalinity and control how much water you’re adding. <\/p>\n\n\n\nIs Rainwater Bad for Hot Tubs? <\/h2>\n\n\n\n
