As you know, hot tubs can be one of the greatest things in your home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
They are known to be calming and relaxing but with a hot tub brings a huge responsibility – hot tub cleaning and hot tub maintenance<\/a>! Cleanliness & hygiene are vital to the long-term health of your tub and those who use it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Hot tubs need proper maintenance to ensure long life and to prevent you from getting nasty rashes or sickness! We\u2019re gonna give you an extensive guide to hot tub cleaning and maintenance. Everything you need to know about regular hot tub cleaning, care and safety. Let\u2019s dive right in! <\/p>\n\n\n\n This is undoubtedly one of the most important aspects of your hot tub maintenance. Having a proper schedule gives you the peace of mind that your hot tub is properly looked after, and this applies wether you have a traditional hot tub or an inflatable hot tub<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n So, where do I start? Much like a cleaning schedule or car schedule, some things need to be completed weekly, monthly or quarterly and some things are just a couple times per year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n You\u2019ll first need to allocate someone (or opt to do everything yourself!) to ensure the sanitizer of the hot tub is being kept to the right level. It is essential to keep this up so the hygienic standard of your tub does not slip to unmanageable levels. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Speaking of hygiene, it\u2019s essential to scoop out anything that is in or on the water. Some things can sneak underneath your cover (what that is will depend on your tub\u2019s location of course.) We recommend you consider investing in a quality hot tub and spa vacuum<\/a> to help make this easier.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Next on your weekly check, you\u2019ll need to keep a close eye on the temperature. Is it too cold? Should it be? Keeping tabs on this will give you a picture of whether there is a serious issue with the system or not. <\/p>\n\n\n\n You\u2019re gonna need to test the Ph levels along with the alkalinity (don\u2019t worry if you\u2019re unsure how we\u2019ll get there!) You\u2019re next going to need to clean the filters. Trust in the knowledge that a monthly or bi-monthly clean of the filters will hugely benefit the life expectancy of the hot tub. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Some hot tub owners ignore or forget about the outside of the tub. Would you leave your car dirty? No? The same applies here. Giving your hot tub a clean on the outside, as well as maintaining the inside will assist in preventing a build-up of mold.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If you\u2019ve neglected or forgotten anything in the previous few weeks – that\u2019s your first priority. Next, it is important to inspect your jets. If they\u2019re not operating as they should be, you\u2019ll need to get that fixed (but again, we\u2019ll get to that!) <\/p>\n\n\n\n Please ensure you do these at least every 4-6 months, maybe more often in certain cases just to be sure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Fully clean the tub. That means inside and out. The full works! Empty the water out of the tub. <\/p>\n\n\n\n After you\u2019ve done that, you can inspect the inside for any problems, check the jets, any hot tub accessories<\/a> you have and clean or replace the filters. You\u2019ll then be ready to fill the tub back up! <\/p>\n\n\nThe Importance Of Maintaining A Thorough Cleaning And Maintenance Schedule <\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
