How to Remove Calcium Deposits From a Spa

Remove calcium deposits from your spa to keep it looking inviting.

Calcium deposits are usually caused by hard water in your spa. If you don't address them promptly, they can stain and permeate the spa, making them more difficult to remove and spoiling the spa's clean and pristine look. Get rid of those tough calcium deposits to keep your spa looking new.

Things You'll Need

• Diluted white vinegar
• Baking soda
• Commercial calcium deposit remover

Instructions

1. Drain your spa before trying to solve the deposit problem if the calcium deposits are below the surface of the water.

2. Start off by using white vinegar. Mix it with a small amount of water and scrub the deposits using a rag or paper towel. This process works well for routine calcium deposits.

3. Soak a rag with the vinegar and leave it on the calcium deposit overnight. This is another effective method.

4. Create a paste of vinegar and baking soda. Let the paste sit on the deposit for 15 minutes before you rinse it away.

5. Purchase a commercial calcium deposit remover. A number of sprays, foams and liquids work well in removing calcium deposits. You can buy these products from a grocery store or drugstore. Spray or pour the product on the deposit and rub it off with a clean rag.

6. Install a water softener. This can prevent calcium deposits altogether.
