As spring arrives, it’s the perfect time to ensure your hot tub is in optimal condition for the warmer months ahead. Whether you’re restarting your spa after a winter shutdown or simply performing routine maintenance, these ten tips will help you enjoy a clean and efficient hot tub experience.
1. Inspect and Tighten the Drain Valve
Before refilling, ensure the drain valve is securely closed and the cap is tightly fastened to prevent potential leaks.
2. Flush the Plumbing System
Use a specialized hot tub pipe cleaner to eliminate any buildup within the plumbing, ensuring clean and clear water circulation. Need help? Check out our Hot Tub Cleaning Services.
3. Thoroughly Clean the Shell
After draining, scrub the interior shell with appropriate cleaners to remove any residues, preparing it for fresh water. Avoid using household cleaners, as they can leave unwanted residues.
4. Refill Through the Filter Compartment
When refilling, place the hose in the filter compartment to minimise airlocks in the system, promoting smoother operation.
5. Balance Water Chemistry
Once filled, test and adjust the water’s pH, alkalinity, and sanitiser levels to establish a safe and comfortable soaking environment. Not sure where to start? We offer a Hot Tub Chemical Subscription Kits to make balancing your water easy.
6. Shock the Water
Perform a shock treatment to eliminate any remaining contaminants, ensuring crystal-clear water and a strong sanitiser base. Regular shocking helps prevent cloudy or smelly water.
7. Inspect and Clean Filters
Remove, inspect, and clean filters to ensure they effectively trap debris and maintain water clarity. If your filters are worn or damaged, browse our Replacement Hot Tub Filters for top-quality replacements.
8. Examine the Cover Condition
Check your hot tub cover for signs of wear, waterlogging, or damage. A well-fitting, undamaged cover enhances energy efficiency and keeps debris out. Need a new one? View our Hot Tub Covers & Lifters for durable options.
