Keep your hot tub looking and feeling like new
Maintaining a hot tub requires regular attention to keep it clean, safe and fully functional. While it’s always worth calling in a professional if you have any concerns, here are some beginners tips for taking care of a hot tub.
Regular cleaning
Clean your hot tub regularly to prevent the buildup of dirt, grime and bacteria. Use soft clothes and mild non-abrasive cleaners to prevent any accidental scratches.
Take care of the filter
The importance of your hot tub’s filter should not be underestimated: this is the gadget that removes debris and contaminants from the water. Rinse your filter regularly according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Another thing to be aware of is that filters have limited lives, so replace them as directed in the instructions that came with your hot tub.
Drain and refill regularly
Even if you’re not using your hot tub regularly, make sure you fill and drain the tub at least once every three or four months. This will help to prevent any buildup of impurities.
Keep it covered
Another great way to maintain your hot tub is to keep it covered when it’s not in use to prevent debris from getting into your tub. Clean the cover regularly and treat it with a vinyl protectant (especially if your tub is outside) to prevent any damage from the elements.
Inspect for leaks
Check your hot tub regularly for any signs of leaks or damage to the hot tub shell, plumbing, heater or equipment. If you suspect that something might be wrong, don’t delay in calling an expert to come and take a look.
Monitor usage
The more your hot tub is used, the more often it will need to be cleaned and maintained. Bear in mind that if your family is using the hot tub more at a certain time of year, you’ll need to keep an eye on the maintenance schedule.
Professional servicing
Consider hiring a professional to service your hot tub at least once a year. They will be able to inspect the hot tub thoroughly, identify any potential issues and perform any necessary repairs or maintenance tasks.

Having a hot tub in your home offers more than an opportunity to relax and destress.
