A hot tub is a significant investment that can bring you years of relaxing soaks and warm nights under the stars. However, without proper care and maintenance, hot tubs can become a bed for bacteria and mold, which can lead to costly spa repairs. But with regular upkeep, you can dodge these issues and have a well-maintained hot tub that lasts for years.

Know Your Hot Tub’s Information 

spa repairKeep all your hot tub’s vital numbers in one place where you can easily find them. This includes the make and model, as well as water capacity, age and warranty, and your water testing log. This log can be a valuable tool which helps you keep up with pH, alkalinity, and sanitizer levels on a regular basis. Having all this information handy will make the spa repair professional’s job that much easier. 

Follow Essential Maintenance Tips

There is an easy way to remind yourself to take care of your hot tub maintenance: the three Cs. By following these tips, you’ll keep any lingering spa repairs at bay and preserve your tub’s functionality for many years.

  • Circulate: Your tub’s water should drain through the circulation filters regularly to keep it clean of contaminants. Most tubs have an automatic circulation schedule throughout the day, but if yours doesn’t, turn it on at least 20 minutes a day.
  • Clean: Regularly cleaning your hot tub is critical to maintaining a healthy water balance. Wipe down the tub at least once a week with white vinegar, or a 10% bleach mixture, making sure to pay attention to the jets and drains. Fully drain your hot tub at least every three months. 
  • Chemistry: Test your water levels regularly, making sure to keep the log, to prevent the water from becoming imbalanced. Use chemical cleaners on your tub’s filters every time you drain the tub, to thoroughly clean them of any debris. Soft or hard water and unbalanced pH levels can affect the longevity of your filters and tub.
