Hot Tub and Spa Maintenance Problems
Common Water Issues
Cloudy water, low sanitizer, and pH swings are frequent spa problems. Test water regularly to prevent irritation and equipment damage.
Equipment Concerns
Pumps, heaters, and filters may fail if not maintained. Check for leaks, unusual noises, or decreased flow. Replace worn parts promptly.
Scaling and Corrosion
High alkalinity or pH can cause scale on heaters and jets. Low pH can corrode metal components. Balance water chemistry carefully.
Preventive Tips
Clean filters and spa surfaces regularly. Drain water periodically. Monitor chemical levels weekly. Use proper cleaning products designed for hot tubs and spas.
Troubleshooting Advice
Always follow the manufacturer’s instructions. Adjust chemical levels gradually. Call a professional if problems persist or equipment shows signs of malfunction.
Regular maintenance prevents most spa and hot tub issues. Consistent care ensures clean, safe water and protects your investment in relaxation
