Maintaining Your Hot Tub

Hot tub maintenance is key to having a long-lasting and trouble-free hot tub experience. Hot tub maintenance is the most important part of owning a hot tub. If you are not familiar with the proper way to maintain your hot tub, it may not last as long as it should, it could cost more to repair and there is always the risk of injury or illness from improper care.

For example, if you don’t take care of your hot tub filter, it can become clogged with debris which will prevent water from flowing through effectively. This can lead to increased energy usage and lower water quality. If you don’t keep up with cleaning your water line and pumps properly, they can become clogged with mineral deposits which will increase wear and tear on them over time. It can also cause them not work properly or break down altogether leaving you without a source of heated water for your spa!

Hot tub maintenance is a lot like car care. The more you do, the better it will perform and last. Any hot tub owner should be aware of the basics of maintaining their hot tub. If you can keep up with these easy steps, your spa will provide years of enjoyment.

The first step in hot tub maintenance is cleaning the filter. While this may seem obvious to some, filters need to be cleaned regularly to prevent bacteria buildup and ensure proper circulation within the system. You should be cleaning your filter every week or so depending on how much use your hot tub gets.

Next up, check for damages or leaks in your plumbing lines. If you notice any leaks or cracks in your pipes then get them repaired immediately because they could cause serious damage in the future if left unchecked.

Another important part of hot tub maintenance is keeping track of chemical levels as well as water temperatures within the pool/spa itself. This helps ensure that everything runs smoothly and that no one gets sick from chlorine exposure or burns themselves on too-hot water temperatures.

The chemicals in your hot tub keep it clean and clear. When you fill up your tub, use a spa maintenance kit that includes three items: chlorine, pH adjuster and algaecide. Follow the instructions on the box to get started. You’ll also want to add some bromine tablets, which help keep the water clear by breaking down oils and other impurities in the water.

If you have a cartridge filter, you should check it once every two weeks and clean it as needed (most manufacturers recommend monthly). Take out all filters, rinse them under running water and put them back in place. If you have an electric pump, make sure it’s working properly before adding more water to the tub; if not, take out the pump and clean or replace it as necessary (following manufacturer instructions).
