Hot Tub Maintenance

To keep clean, a hot tub needs weekly spa maintenance which is required to protect

your hot tub pump and parts as well as the cleanliness of the water. And every three

months a through hot tub maintenance is recommended. In addition, the water level and

filtering in your spa will also affect the hot tub maintenance requirements.

This guide to spa maintenance will provide you with the information you need to carry

out your basic hot tub maintenance yourself. In this way, the water will remain cleaner

longer and your hot tub pump and parts will live longer. For the most part, only a few

minutes investment at a time will be required for your hot tub maintenance, ensuring

you the luxury of a home spa year round.

Before Your Hot Tub Maintenance

Assuming that your hot tub is going to be cleaned and filled for the first time, there are a

few spa maintenance tricks that will make the job easier. To begin with, after cleaning

your hot tub, be sure to wipe off any soap residue with wet paper towels or a wet cloth.

This will prevent the water in your hot tub foaming up after it is filled, which is harmful to

your hot tub pump and can become a real nuisance when the foam rises too high. In

fact, bad cases of foam may require you to empty your hot tub and start your spa

maintenance over again, or use large amounts of foam reducer on a regular basis.

When filling your hot tub, be sure to bring the water level to the just above the halfway

opening of the skimmer. We do not recommend using softened water of any kind for

filling the spa due to the difficulty it causes in balancing your water, and possible

corrosion issues to the heater. If during spa maintenance you fill the tub too low, the hot

tub pump will disengage as a safety measure or you will hear air cavitating down

through the skimmer throat. The spa will then stop heating and circulating and may

appear to be broken. Therefore, make checking the water level in your hot tub a routine

part of your spa maintenance.
