If you’re just re-opening your hot tub for the season or
your hot tub has been in operation all winter, hot tum maintenance is an
inescapable of hot tub ownership. Like it or not you’ll have to take care of
your hot tub if you want it to take care of you.
The first maintenance tip is to replace your spa filter
every year. If you use bromine or peroxide sanitizers or natural enzymes
derived from plant and mineral extracts; the spa filter must be replaced
annually. To keep a sand filter working, depending on the size of the filter
you must clean it as often as once a week.
If you live in an area where there is hard water is hard or high levels
of calcium levels, cleaning out the cartridge with vinegar and water will
prevent crystals from building up around the jets and filters.
Another maintenance tip for removing grimy buildup is to put
baking soda on a wet sponge, removing dirt and grime without harming the
surface of the hot tub. Shocking the hot tub with a non-chlorine shock once
every week will go help keep the water clear. Finally, keeping the right pH
level for the water in your hot tub should be a big concern since pH imbalance
is a major contributing factor to the development of microorganisms; you may
want to take additional care to maintain the pH balance of the water. You may
maintain a 7.2-7.4 pH range but it’s really up to you. If you do use tap water
loaded with cloramines, metals, and minerals, you might want to purify the
water with a spa pre-filter.
