DOES A HOT TUB KILL THE CORONAVIRUS?
COVID-19 is not technically a living organism and therefore cannot be 'killed' as such. Advice from both BISHTA and a USA-based equivalent suggests that the coronavirus would in fact be deactivated in correctly sanitised water that is at the correct pH level.
WHAT SHOULD I DO TO BE SAFE?
This advice should really be followed at all times when using your hot tub, not just during this pandemic. Anybody using the hot tub should shower thoroughly before bathing, removing any pollutants on your body - make-up, hair products, sun cream, etc. This is good not just for your own health and the health of your bathers, but also for keeping your water chemistry balanced. This will allow the chlorine in your hot tub to kill bacteria in the water more effectively, which is it's job.
We also recommend that you do not share towels and wash them at a high temperature before and after use.
What about social distancing?
Simply, do not share your hot tub with someone who doesn't live at your house. You shouldn't be interacting with them anyway, as per the government guidelines at time of writing (19th April 2020) but certainly should not be sharing a hot tub with them. If someone's recently been out shopping or out in public they should shower thoroughly before getting into the tub and should wash their hands before touching it for any reason.
