Dive Into Spa Bliss: A Beginner’s Guide to Hot Tub Maintenance
Welcome to the Jeff’s Pool & Spa Service blog! If you’re a new hot tub owner in the coastal Georgia region, keeping your spa in top shape can seem daunting. But don’t worry—we’re here to help you with some simple, effective maintenance tips.
1. Regular Cleaning
Filters: Clean the filters every 2-4 weeks. Rinse them with a garden hose and use a filter cleaner for deep cleaning every 3-4 months.
Surfaces: Wipe down the hot tub surfaces with a non-abrasive cleaner to prevent buildup of grime and oils.
2. Water Quality Maintenance
pH Levels: Keep the pH level between 7.2 and 7.8. Test the water weekly using test strips or a digital tester.
Sanitizers: Use chlorine or bromine to sanitize the water. Follow the manufacturer's instructions for the right amount.
Shock Treatments: Perform a shock treatment weekly or after heavy usage to eliminate contaminants and keep the water clear.
3. Draining and Refilling
Frequency: Drain and refill your hot tub every 3-4 months. This helps to remove dissolved solids and refreshes the water.
Procedure: Turn off the power, attach a garden hose to the drain valve, and open it to drain. Clean the tub before refilling.
4. Cover Care
Clean and Condition: Clean your hot tub cover regularly with a mild soap and water solution. Use a vinyl protector to extend its life.
Check for Damage: Inspect the cover for any signs of wear and tear, and replace it if necessary.
5. Preventive Maintenance
Inspection: Regularly check for any leaks, unusual noises, or malfunctions. Address any issues promptly to prevent bigger problems.
Professional Service: Schedule an annual maintenance check with Jeff’s Pool & Spa Service to ensure everything is running smoothly.
