Efficient Ways To Routinely Clean Your Hot Tub
  • Opening Intro -

    If you want to squeeze more life out of your hot tub while keeping your family safe, maintaining the highest level of sanitation is crucial.

    However, most people put off routine tub cleaning because they think it is too complex and stressful to handle.

-------------------------------------

Keeping your tub in peak condition is easier than you think, though. Read on to learn some efficient ways to routinely clean your hot tub.

Flush Gunk Buildup From Pipes

Before you think of emptying the tub, make sure you’ve cleared the bacteria, slime, and sludge from the unit’s plumbing conduits. While the tub is in operation, add the manufacturer’s recommended hot tub line flush products.

Manufacturers also specify the amount of time you’ll need to wait for the cleaning products to break down any buildup. Add line flush periodically, as it helps minimize buildup.

Cut Power to Your Hot Tub Until You Are Ready To Refill It

The problem with having power on is that it can lead to jet or pump kicking as the water levels in the tub drop. Unfortunately, this can wreak havoc on the pump motor and filter. Unplug your tub completely while you perform maintenance.

Thoroughly Clean the Tub Surfaces

After draining the tub, wipe down the dirt from the tub’s surface and accessories using a soft damp cloth or towel and surface cleaner. If you encounter tough dirt sediments, get a tub scrubber.

Be informed that exposing the surface of your tub to some all-purpose surface cleaners can quickly erode the shells or damage pipelines. Double-check with your tub manufacturer.

Take Off the Hot Tub Filters and Spray Them With a Garden Hose

The filters see the most debris, and they need a little more attention. Brushing the gunk from the hot tub filters is not recommended because it can cause damage.

Instead, blast away the grime and dirt coating using a garden hose. You can spray the tub cleaner, rinse, and then put the filter back. Consider replacing your hot tub’s filter at least once a year or if damaged.

What next? Place your garden hose into the tub’s filter well to refill the tub. Ensure the water level is at least over the jets before turning the power to the tub on. Add your regular treatment chemicals to the water.

Let the hot tub run for a couple of hours before testing the pH and chlorine levels. If the water has the recommended pH balance, cover your tub. With these efficient ways to routinely clean your hot tub, you’ll be enjoying a soak in no time!
