Cleaning and maintaining your hot tub is an important part of keeping it in good working condition. With the right tools and know-how, you can effectively clean and maintain your hot tub yourself. Here’s a step-by-step guide to DIY hot tub cleaning and maintenance:
- Check the pH levels – It’s important to regularly check the pH levels in your hot tub. Having balanced pH levels prevents bacteria and algae growth, as well as mineral buildup that can cause damage to your hot tub’s plumbing system.
- Clean the filter – Make sure you inspect and clean your filter every three months or as needed. Use a garden hose to rinse off the filter, and then use a filter cleaner to remove any dirt, debris, or oils.
- Clean the hot tub surface – Using a nonabrasive brush and cleaning solution specifically designed for hot tubs, scrub down the walls of your hot tub. Don’t forget to also clean the steps and jets!
- Drain and refill – It’s recommended you drain and refill your hot tub every few months to remove bacteria, oils, and dirt that build up over time. Then, add the proper amount of chemicals to ensure the water stays clean and safe.
Regular Maintenance to Keep Your Hot Tub Running Smoothly
Once you’ve completed the steps above, it’s important to keep up with
regular maintenance. This includes:
- Cleaning the filter as needed
- Testing and maintaining balanced pH levels
- Monitoring chemical levels in your hot tub water
- Inspecting all plumbing for leaks or damage
