Ajax Hot Tub Maintenance

Having a hot tub or spa right outside your door is a great way to cut through a chilly winter evening or relax after a long workday but as great as these features are, they are a lot of work to keep up with! Without regular cleaning a tub or spa will go cloudy or green in no time at all. This doesn’t just create poor visuals, it is a serious risk to health and safety. When you want the best results, Puddle provides reliable and affordable Ajax hot tub maintenance services. 

Unlike a basic bathtub, you can’t just pull the plug on a spa when the water starts to look grimy. Keeping your swim space sanitary means regular chemical treatments, debris removal, filter changes and monitoring the internal systems that keep your warm water moving. Don’t struggle with a run-of-the-mill test kit or the aftermath of a DIY disaster, call a local Puddle Pool Pro instead. 

Proper Hot Tub Care: What to Know 

When it comes to keeping spas clean both indoors and out, water chemistry is key. It is easy to  get caught up on measuring out sanitizers like chlorine or bromine but this is only the tip of the iceberg when it comes to keeping spas clean. When you want to keep your hot tub cleaner, for longer it is important to care for surfaces, as well as the internal systems that keep water flowing — but this is easier said than done. 

Missing just one step in the cleaning process will have a ripple effect through your spa systems but there are Puddle technicians in your area who area ready to help! By breaking the cleaning process down into multiple steps, Puddle creates a check-list that makes sure your system stays in great shape, all year long. 

Routine Cleaning: Damp, dark and warm areas are the ideal space for algae, bacteria and mold to thrive and that means hot tub water. All it takes is one missed chemical application to result in cloudy water, discolouration, algae blooms and white mold. The best way to keep your tub or spa in great shape is by keeping a consistent routine. On average, a hot tub should be cleaned and chemically treated bi-weekly (every second week). This process includes removing debris with speciality hand vacuums and brushes, balancing chlorine or bromine levels, pH levels, alkalinity and calcium. 

Deep Cleans/System Refreshes: Even if you are cleaning your hot tub regularly, it is important to make deep cleans a part of your annual maintenance routine. This means having to drain and refill spas with a heavy scrubbing program in-between. A specialized combination of hot tub chemicals are applied to spas. These are designed to run through internal lines, loosening and puling out any gunk or mildew that might have built up inside lines. It is then time to drain the hot tub water. Once empty, technicians will scrub shells, jets, headrests and other areas that might be holding onto bacteria. Water can be refilled with a simple garden hose and Puddle Pros will return for a final water balancing. 

Cleaning the filter is also a key component of keeping water systems running smoothly. If filters are not cleaned regularly it will become more difficult for water to pass through, using more energy, increasing utility bills and putting added strain on pumps and circulation systems. When you keep your filter cleaner, you prolong the lifespan of your pool equipment and water systems as a whole. Ask a Puddle technician about optional Full Shampoo services. These treatments use specialized tools and cleaning products to scrub exterior shells, hot tub covers and outer areas.
