Q: Is green hot tub water safe?

• <div><p>Algae-related green hot tub water is generally safe to use, as algae aren't usually harmful to your health. However, if the conditions in the hot tub are hospitable to algae growth, they may also be hospitable to the growth of other types of microorganisms, including <i>Pseudomonas aeruginosa</i>, bacteria that can cause <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/preventing-hot-tub-health-hazards.htm">hot tub rash</a>, or <i>Legionella</i> bacteria, which can cause respiratory illness.</p></div>

Q: What temp should I leave my hot tub on when not in use?

• <div><p>The general rule of thumb is to lower it by about five degrees when you know you&rsquo;re not using your hot tub for an extended period of time.
