Cleaning Your Spa and Hot Tub
Why Regular Cleaning Is Important
Cleaning your spa or hot tub prevents bacteria buildup, scaling, and cloudy water. It also protects pumps, heaters, and jets from damage. Regular care extends equipment life and keeps water safe.
Step-by-Step Cleaning
- Drain the water completely.
- Wipe down the shell with a non-abrasive cleaner.
- Clean jets and other components with a soft brush.
- Rinse thoroughly to remove residue.
- Refill and balance water chemistry before use.
Filter Maintenance
Always clean or replace filters during each water change. Dirty filters reduce flow, strain pumps, and reduce chemical efficiency. Soak filters in a proper cleaner and rinse well before reinstalling.
Tips for Long-Term Care
Drain your spa every 3–4 months, or more often with heavy use. Keep a cleaning schedule to prevent buildup. Avoid harsh household cleaners that can damage spa surfaces.
A clean spa or hot tub ensures safe, enjoyable soaking. Following these steps helps maintain crystal-clear water, healthy equipment, and a relaxing experience every time.
