O-Care Weekly Spa Care | Natural Spa Treatment
O-Care Weekly Spa Care is a natural, two-part weekly treatment that transforms how your hot tub water feels — softer on the skin, gentler on the senses, and far less reliant on harsh chemicals. Used once a week, O-Care can reduce the amount of chlorine or bromine your spa needs by up to 78%, which makes a real difference for anyone who finds traditional sanitizer levels harsh.
Chemicals can irritate skin, eyes, and ears — a common complaint for regular soakers and an especially big deal for children who love to dunk their heads underwater. By letting you run a much lower sanitizer level, O-Care makes the water noticeably kinder. Its blend of mineral salts and natural ingredients leaves skin feeling soft and odorless rather than dried out and "chemical," so getting out of the spa feels as good as getting in.
It's a simple weekly ritual: add the two O-Care components to the water with the included measuring cup, once a week. One box lasts 3–5 months, making it an easy, long-running upgrade to your normal routine — not a replacement for your sanitizer, but a natural enhancement that lets you use a lot less of it.
O-Care®
Most products you buy from us are covered by a manufacturer's warranty — and if something goes wrong with one of yours, we want to help. This page explains how warranty coverage works, what we can do to support a claim, and the few situations where coverage may not apply.
If you're already dealing with an issue and just want help, the fastest path is to call us at (208) 523-4633 or email hello@leisuretimeinc.com. We'll walk you through the right next step.
How Warranty Coverage Works
When you buy a hot tub, fireplace, grill, or accessory from us, the manufacturer of that product (Hot Spring, Caldera, Big Green Egg, Pit Boss, Watkins Wellness, etc.) provides the warranty. Each manufacturer sets its own terms — coverage length, what's included, what's excluded, and how claims are processed.
This is the standard model for retail across the spa, fireplace, and BBQ industries. It means:
- Your coverage comes directly from the manufacturer — typically the strongest protection available, since they made the product
- Warranty terms vary by brand and product — a Hot Spring spa shell warranty differs from a Big Green Egg lifetime warranty differs from a FreshWater chemical product warranty
- Claim approvals and denials are decided by the manufacturer, not by us
- Repair, replacement, or refund decisions are made by the manufacturer per their warranty terms
Where we come in: we know these manufacturers well, we file claims on behalf of customers regularly, and we know the documentation that helps a claim move quickly.
How We Help You With a Warranty Claim
If something goes wrong with a product you bought from us, here's what we'll do:
- Listen first. Tell us what happened. Sometimes what looks like a warranty issue has a quick fix that saves you the claim hassle entirely.
- Help you document the issue properly.Manufacturers typically need photos, your purchase receipt, and a clear description of the problem. We'll tell you exactly what to gather.
- Submit the claim or connect you to the right contact. Some manufacturers prefer dealers to file claims; others prefer direct customer contact. We'll route you the right way.
- Follow up on your behalf. If a claim stalls, we'll check in with the manufacturer's service team to push it forward.
- Coordinate certified service if needed. Many warranty repairs (especially on hot tubs and fireplaces) require a factory-certified technician. We'll arrange that, or refer you to one.
What we can't do is override a manufacturer's decision. If a manufacturer denies a claim because the product was misused, modified, or installed incorrectly, we don't have the authority to reverse that decision. But we will tell you honestly where a claim stands and what your options are if denied.
What We Don't Cover
Just so there's no confusion, Leisure Time Inc. does not offer in-house warranties on any product we sell. We don't repair or replace products under our own warranty program because we're not the manufacturer — and we don't have the parts inventory or specialized knowledge to back coverage on every brand we carry. The manufacturer warranty is what protects you.
If a manufacturer voids a warranty claim, we can't replace, repair, or refund the product on our own. We'll work with you to understand why the claim was denied and what alternatives exist.
Customer-Installed Parts: An Important Note
We know this can feel restrictive, especially for owners who are mechanically inclined and want to do their own work. Here's why this rule exists:
Hot tubs and fireplaces are complex systems with interconnected electrical, plumbing, gas, and control components. A pump installed slightly wrong can cause the heater to fail. A control board installed without proper grounding can damage the entire spa pack. A gas valve installed by someone unfamiliar with the unit can create a serious safety hazard.
Manufacturers can't reasonably warrant a product against installation errors they didn't witness — so they require certified technicians for these critical components. The certification confirms the installer has the training to do the work correctly, plus liability coverage if something goes wrong.
What this means in practice:
- Some parts are routine owner-installable (filter cartridges, cover lifts, accessories, water care chemicals) — these don't affect warranty
- Some parts must be installed by certified technicians (pumps, motors, heaters, control boards, salt cell housings, gas valves, fireplace inserts) — these will void warranty if owner-installed
- If you're unsure whether a specific part falls into the "routine" or "certified-only" category, call us before starting any installation
If your part has already been customer-installed and the warranty has been voided, the manufacturer typically will not honor a future claim on that part. We can't accept returns or exchanges on customer-installed parts that have been used, and we can't process a warranty claim the manufacturer has voided. We'll always be honest with you about whether a part is owner-installable before you start.
O-Care® Brand FAQs
What is O-Care?
O-Care is a natural, two-part weekly spa water treatment that softens the water and helps manage the organic matter bathers leave behind. By doing so, it lets you run much lower chlorine or bromine levels while keeping the water clean and comfortable.
Does O-Care replace my sanitizer?
No. O-Care is used alongside your chlorine or bromine, not instead of it. It can reduce how much sanitizer your spa needs by up to 78%, but you still maintain a safe sanitizer residual to keep the water hygienic.
Why is O-Care gentler on skin and eyes?
Because O-Care lets you run a much lower chlorine or bromine level, there's far less of the harsh chemistry that irritates skin, eyes, and ears. Its mineral-salt blend also leaves skin feeling soft and odorless rather than dried out.
How often do I use O-Care, and how long does a box last?
O-Care is added once a week using the included measuring cup — you add a dose from each of the two bottles. One box is a complete supply that lasts approximately 3 to 5 months.
Is O-Care safe for children?
O-Care is designed to be gentle, which makes it especially appealing for families. Because it allows lower sanitizer levels, the water is kinder to children who love to dunk their heads underwater. As always, follow normal spa safety guidance and maintain a safe sanitizer level.
Does O-Care work with any spa?
O-Care works alongside both chlorine and bromine sanitizing systems and is safe for all common spa surfaces. It enhances whatever routine you already run, so most spa owners can fold it in without changing their sanitizer type.
About O-Care®

The result is water that's gentler on skin, eyes, and ears, with a soft, odorless feel that traditional chemical-heavy routines struggle to match — a difference that's especially welcome in households with children. For spa owners who love soaking but dislike the harshness of conventional sanitizer levels, O-Care offers a natural, easy-to-follow weekly routine that makes the whole experience more enjoyable.
