Prepare for the Spring Season – Our Hot Tub Cleaning Guide
Spring is finally here! Giving your hot tub a thorough clean ensures you start the season ready to grasp every opportunity for rest and relaxation. Whether you prefer to tackle the task yourself or seek a hot tub cleaning service, this guide will help you get your hot tub sparkling and ready to use.
Why spring cleaning your hot tub is essential
If you hot tub hasn’t been in use over the winter, then it may have accumulated debris, algae, or bacteria, making it less inviting and potentially harmful. A deep clean will:
- Improve water clarity and hygiene
- Enhance the performance of pumps and filters
- Prolong the lifespan of your hot tub
- Ensure a relaxing and safe soak
At South West Spas we offer a thorough hot tub cleaning service at any time of the year. Our experienced hot tub engineer will:
1. Drain the water
Start by turning off the power and draining your hot tub completely.
2. Clean the shell
Once the hot tub is empty, scrub the shell with a non-abrasive, hot tub friendly cleaner. Avoid household cleaners that could leave behind harmful residues. Instead, opt for a hot tub-specific cleaning solution. Pay close attention to jets and seats where grime can accumulate.
3. Deep clean the filters or replace them
Your filters are crucial for maintaining clean water. Remove them and rinse thoroughly with a hose. For a deeper clean, soak them in a dedicated filter cleaning solution.
4. Check the hot tub cover and accessories
A good hot tub cleaning includes wiping down the hot tub cover with a gentle cleaner to remove mold and mildew. If you use steps or handrails, give them a wash too.
5. Refill and balance the water
Once your hot tub is clean, refill it with fresh water. Test and balance the water chemistry by adjusting pH, alkalinity, and sanitiser levels.
