HSG282 is the UK Health & Safety Executive’s guidance for controlling the risk of Legionella and other infectious agents in hot tubs used in holiday lets and similar business settings. If you provide a spa for paying guests, compliance with this standard is strongly recommended.

Our Holiday Let range has been designed with HSG282 in mind, helping operators meet the key requirements:

• Automatic chemical dosing (chlorine/bromine) – no floating dispensers.
• Ozone/UV secondary sanitisation for added protection.
• Hydraulic design for rapid water turnover (approx. 15 minutes).
• No air blowers, reducing aerosol risk.
• Continuous filtration and heating via automated cycles.
• Easy water testing with clear access points for twice-daily checks.
• Risk assessment templates and logbooks provided to support record keeping.

Actual compliance depends not only on spa design, but also on how the spa is operated and maintained:

• Carrying out twice-daily water tests (disinfectant & pH).
• Weekly (or per changeover) water changes.
• Keeping accurate maintenance and testing records.
• Following safe bather load limits and displaying user rules.

Our HSG282-ready spas make it easier to stay compliant, safe, and audit-prepared in holiday let environments.
