Basic Knowledge of Slipperiness: Dirt and Slipperiness in Hot Spring Baths

The dirt in hot spring baths is complex and strange! Here’s how to effectively clean and remove white scale.

The most common inquiry (SOS) from maintenance contractors is the issue of dirt in hot spring baths. They claim that it cannot be removed no matter what. Therefore, I first instruct everyone to obtain the hot spring analysis report. This may be a world that most contractors have been indifferent to until now. While looking at the obtained hot spring analysis report, I will ask the contractors several questions about the on-site situation. The hot spring analysis report clearly states the amounts and compositions of cations (+ ions), anions (− ions), and free components (non-dissociated components, dissolved gas components) per 1 kg. It goes without saying that ionic bonding has a significant impact on dirt. What + ions attach to what − ions varies depending on their respective amounts and compositions, so it differs from site to site in the hot springs. Additionally, I often see that the dirt formed from the blend of regularly added chlorine, body fat from bathers, water stains, mold, and other residues is quite common on-site. *For more detailed information, you can view it through the related links.
