Sometimes new hot tub owners think that regular maintenance of hot tubs will be overwhelming. But, really, hot tub maintenance is not hard at all. It just requires a few minutes a week, and you’ll be relaxing in and enjoying your hot tub. We’d like to give you a few pointers for your hot tub maintenance. Most hot tubs and spas are made with an acrylic interior shell. Acrylic is simple to clean because it is a non-porous surface (unlike concrete pools) and germs and bacteria can’t become imbedded. So, just keep the acrylic clean and dust-free by wiping it down with either a damp cloth or a cloth with a mild cleaner…same as your acrylic bathtub. The cover of your hot tub spa is exposed to the outdoor elements on a daily basis, so you should always use a vinyl protector application on a regular basis to give it a long life. Most good spa and hot tub distributors will carry this product. Make sure you don’t use the vinyl protector anywhere other than on the cover. It is a chemical (though mild) product and you don’t want it contaminating the water. For the underside of the cover, just use a regular garden hose and spray it down once in a while and let it air-dry on a warm sunny day. Keeping your water clean will require some basic chemicals, same as your swimming pool. These chemicals will be added to the water to kill bacteria and other germs. As with your swimming pool, chlorine is the most commonly used chemical sanitizers. Your spa and hot tub retailer...

The good thing about spa maintenance is that it can be done by homeowners without professional assistance.

Here is a maintenance schedule that you can follow in order to properly take care of your hot tubs. On a daily basis: All you need to do every day with regards to maintaining your spa is to keep it covered when not in use. Aside from preventing fallen leaves and other debris from getting into the water, here are some of the benefits of keeping your spa covered when not in use. Spa covers help maintain the water temperature. As a result, the outdoor spa will no longer need to use electricity in order to maintain the right water temperature. Spa covers protect the tub’s finish from being damaged by sunlight. Covering the spa helps maintain its warranty. Spa covers prevent children and pets from playing near or in the spa, which can result in accidents including drowning. On a weekly basis: At least once a week, experts recommend testing the spa water to make sure the water chemistry is balanced and on the right levels. Keep in mind that similarly with swimming pools, chemicals are added in the right amount and proportions to the water to prevent the growth and development of algae and bacteria. Depending on the frequency of using hot tubs, the water chemistry should be tested at least once...
