Acrylic Spa Shell Rust Causes

Why is my acrylic spa shell rusting?

Acrylic spa shells are not susceptible to rusting because they are made from a non-metallic material called acrylic. Rusting is a chemical reaction that occurs when iron or steel metals are exposed to moisture and oxygen, resulting in corrosion. Since acrylic does not contain any iron or steel components, it cannot rust.

If you notice rust-like discolouration or stains on your acrylic spa shell, it is likely that other factors are causing these issues. Some possible factors to consider include:
  1. Mineral Deposits
  2. Chemical Imbalance
  3. Metal Contamination
