-As the days get longer everyone gets back to their favorite warm weather activities, including a long hot soak at the end of the day. But, before easing into that nice hot, bubbling water, the team from Central Coast Pool and Spa, has some tips for making sure the spa or hot tub is in top shape.
Proper maintenance is important all year long but especially critical when the spa has been idle for a while. From cleaning to maintenance, these following tips get the spa ready for warm weather relaxing.
- Drain and clean—Start by completely draining the water. Use a mild detergent and water to clean the interior surfaces, including the walls, seats, and jets. Pay close attention to any areas where dirt or grime may have accumulated over the winter months. Rinse thoroughly to remove any soap residue.
- Inspect and clean the filters—The filters play a crucial role in keeping the water clean and free of debris. Remove the filters and inspect them for any signs of damage or wear. If necessary, replace them with new ones to ensure optimal filtration. Additionally, give the filter housing a thorough cleaning to remove any dirt or buildup that may have accumulated. The spa repair service team from Central Coast Pool and Spa advises that good-quality filters can last up to three years if they are properly maintained.
- Inspect and maintain the components—Take the time to inspect all of the components including the heater, pump, and jets. Look for any signs of damage or wear and address any issues promptly. Lubricate moving parts as needed to ensure smooth operation.
- Clean and treat the cover—The cover plays a vital role in maintaining water temperature and preventing debris from landing in the water. Clean the cover thoroughly with a mild detergent and water, paying special attention to any areas where dirt or mildew may have accumulated. Once clean, treat the cover with a UV protectant to help prolong its lifespan and prevent sun damage.
- Add fresh water and balance the chemicals—Once you’ve completed all of the necessary cleaning and maintenance tasks, it’s time to refill the spa with fresh water. Use a hose to fill the tub to the appropriate level, taking care not to overfill it. Once filled, test the water chemistry and adjust the pH, alkalinity, and sanitizer levels as needed to ensure that the water is balanced and safe for use. Getting the correct chemical balance can be somewhat tricky for many spa owners. That’s one of the areas where the spa repair service team can help.
- Periodically check the water chemistry—Once the spa is up and running, maintaining proper water chemistry is essential. Adjust as needed to ensure that these levels are within the recommended ranges.
