What to Do with Your Hot Tub When You’re Taking a Vacation


You might just be getting around to taking a summer vacation. And when it comes time to pack your bags and head out there are a few things that you might do to keep your hot tub safe. If you’re leaving for a vacation in the summer or your tub is located inside your house, shocking the water with a small amount of chlorine, closing and locking the cover before turning it will ensure that it will remain in good working condition when you get back home from your vacation.  It will also sterilize the water eliminating the spread of germs and bacteria. It’s important to test the pH levels and add the correct chemicals before you close the cover.

Closing the cover will keep the sunlight out of the water and make sure that algae don’t grow. It will also keep it cleaner by keeping leaves, dust and debris out of your pool. Keeping the hot tub’s water temperature low by turning off the power will reduce the likelihood of algae and bacteria growth while allowing the chlorine to last longer. As a bonus, you’ll also save some money on your electricity bill which will help pay for that vacation that you just took.

Once you get back from your vacation, just turn the power on and your hot tub will be clean and ready to use.
