There are several regular tasks necessary to maintain your hot tub. While each one is relatively easy and doesn’t require a lot of time, it’s important to perform these tasks on schedule.
Weekly Hot Tub Maintenance
Check and clean the skimmer basket. Remove leaves and any debris that may have accumulated. Keeping the basket clean will ensure proper water flow.
You should also use a test strip to test and then and adjust the water pH, alkalinity, calcium hardness and sanitizer levels at least once a week. It’s an easy process that takes only a few minutes of your time.
Monthly Hot Tub Maintenance
Clean your filter. Just use a garden hose, spray the filter and rotate while spraying to thoroughly remove any debris lodged between the filter pleats. Use a degreaser to clean filters while changing water in the spa.
Every Three To Four Months
Drain and refill the hot tub. Wipe the surface clean with a soft cloth before refilling. Instructions for refilling and initially balancing the water are available in the owner’s manual.
Remove filters and spray clean. Soak in a degreaser (see package instructions). Spray down with a garden hose and replace.
Tip: You can avoid any spa down time by owning two sets of filters. Simply switch the filters to be cleaned with your other set. Then clean and store the set you’ve removed.
Intermittent Hot Tub Maintenance
Sanitize the spa. Your interaction with the spa will vary depending on how often you use it. We highly recommend the FreshWater® Salt System standard on the Utopia® and Paradise Series® or the FROG® In-Line Water Care System, standard on all Vacanza® spas.
