Abstract

See full text

Devices and methods for sanitizing hot tubs and the like are provided. The devices and methods generally incorporate a hot tub floater which releases a sanitizing agent into the water contained in the hot tub. The hot tub floater has bristles on an outer surface. The devices and methods provided have the advantages of being as convenient, inexpensive, and simple as current hot tub floaters, but do not cause unnecessary noise or damage, and can aid in protecting the hot tub against non-biological contaminants.
