Why you shouldn't miss out on our Water Test App

If only there was an easy way to determine the chemical needs of my spa water... Sound familiar?

The good news is you have to look no further! The Canadian Spa Company doesn't leave their customers alone with their problems once they bought a spa. Our Customer Service is there for you for the lifetime of your spa. As we want to make your spa experience as enjoyable as possible we developed an app to help you determine the pH, Alkalinity and Chlorine level of your spa. 

And this is how it works:

First of all, you will need to purchase test strips if you don't have any yet. Then simply dip your test strip into your spa water and enter the colours shown into the 'Water Test Centre' screen of the app. Instantly you'll have the list and the quantities of the products needed to balance the Alkalinity, pH and Chlorine levels in your spa. Just add the chemicals to the water as suggested by the app. It's as simple as that. If you run out of these products, the app will redirect you to our website for purchase. 

What are the key features of the app?

  • An easy to use colour selector screen based upon the results from Canadian Spa test strips
  • Compatible with all Canadian Spa products
  • It can be used with any water test strip checking for Alkalinity, pH and Chlorine levels
  • A simple start up guide customisable to your spa
  • All readings are stored and can be shared via email to your support representative
  • Select your spa for tailored results
  • Raise support tickets and backyard delivery requests
  • Direct links to the relevant website to purchase products
  • Manual test strip reading input also available

Note: Instructions on the product label take priority over app recommendations. Always check with your sales representative if you have any queries when using the app.

UK Spa Buying Help and Product Support

You are viewing Why you shouldn't miss out on our Water Test App. Canadian Spa Company UK supports customers across hot tubs, swim spas, saunas, replacement hot tub covers, spa chemicals, filters, parts and servicing. This section provides practical guidance so buyers can compare the right products, understand long-term running costs and make better decisions for UK climate conditions, patio sizes and year-round use.

When comparing hot tubs for sale UK customers often focus first on price, but long-term value depends on insulation quality, heater efficiency, cover fit, shell build, control system reliability and local support access. A model with stronger thermal efficiency can reduce ongoing electricity usage and can remain more stable in colder weather. If you are choosing between cheap hot tubs UK listings, compare specification depth and support availability, not just headline cost.

For families and regular hosting, 6 seater hot tubs and larger multi-zone seating layouts often provide better flexibility. For smaller gardens or couples, compact formats can still deliver effective hydrotherapy if jet placement and pump performance are matched to intended use. If your goal is recovery and exercise rather than relaxation only, a swim spa can offer resistance training and all-season low-impact movement while still providing warm-water therapy.

Sauna buyers should compare cabin dimensions, heater type, wood quality, electrical requirements and placement options. Infrared and traditional sauna experiences differ in heat profile and warm-up behaviour; the best option depends on usage frequency, preferred temperature range and installation constraints. For many homes, planning ventilation and safe electrical supply early prevents installation delays.

Replacement covers, filters and water treatment also have a direct effect on running cost and comfort. A high-quality replacement hot tub cover reduces heat loss, helps water stay cleaner and lowers heater workload. Correct filter fit and regular chemical balancing support water clarity and bather comfort while reducing wear on pumps and heater components. If a spa is underperforming, service checks for flow, seals, valves and sensor status usually identify causes quickly.

For ownership planning, treat total cost as purchase price plus electricity, consumables, maintenance and occasional replacement parts. Preventive maintenance is normally lower cost than reactive repair. Seasonal checks, circulation health, cover condition and calibration reviews can reduce downtime and extend product life.
