Maintaining Your Spa's FIltration
Filters are an extremely important element in your hot tub. A dirty, clogged or worn out filter can not only damage the hot tub itself by putting stress on the pumps and equipment, but it can allow water to become contaminated and circulate poorly. Keep your hot tub clean and clear year-round by performing period filter maintenance and replacement.
Perform These
Before Each Use
Before using your hot tub, check the water’s condition and chemical balance with reliable test strips, adjusting as needed, and run the spa for 30 minutes to ensure proper distribution. Confirm the water temperature, with most people finding 101–104°F comfortable, and if you’re using an economy setting, allow sufficient time for the water to heat up. Lastly, inspect for loose drain covers or any broken parts that could pose a safety risk.
Daily Maintenance
Check the hot tub cover daily to be sure that it fits tightly and is in good repair. An ill-fitting cover can cost a fortune in lost heat and exposure so it is always best to get a new cover as soon as there is a problem.
If possible, run the filtration system of the hot tub for at least three hours each day. This will help to keep the water clean, clear and ready for use.
Weekly Maintenance
The water should be checked and balanced weekly whether the hot tub has been used or not. Adjust the levels according to the scale above.
Check the filter for debris and discoloration and clean as necessary.
Quarterly Maintenance
Drain the hot tub completely, and clean the entire hot tub with a non-abrasive all purpose cleaner. Rinse carefully and allow it to dry. Apply one to two coats of spa polish to protect the finish.
Remove the jets and clean them to remove calcium and dirt deposits. Remove the filter and deep clean it. Alternatively, replace the filter with a new one.
Condition the spa pillows and soft hot tub cover.
Refill the hot tub with water and spa chemicals. Check the chemical and PH balance and adjust as necessary.
