Aurora Hot Tub Maintenance

Ontario winters might mean having to hide out indoors but with a hot tub right at home, you can beat the winter chill with a warm water soak in your spa. A tub can be used at anytime of year — but only if it is clean! No one wants to throw back their spa cover only to find water is swampy, green and smells terrible — and you definitely don’t want to step foot inside of it! Professional Aurora hot tub maintenance keeps water clean and systems running smoothly so you can make the most out of your hot tub at any time of year. 

When done regularly, cleaning your tub can help to not only improve the look of your water systems, it can improve the functionality as well. A dirty water system has to work harder to circulate water and this puts strain on your pool components — and your wallet! Using more energy means higher utility bills and added strain means a shortened lifespan for pumps, circuit breakers, return lines and other key components that keep your pool running. Instead of dealing with the aftermath of a DIY disaster, let a local Puddle Pro do it right the first time around. 

Hot Tub Care: The Importance of Routine 

Damp, warm and dark environments are the ideal space for algae to form and bacteria to thrive. Simple test strips can help to point out major issues with chlorine levels but they can’t help you correct them. One missed chemical treatment can result in cloudy or green water that not only looks awful, it can lead to serious illness. 

Stepping foot into dirty water can lead to skin irritations, ear infections, eye infections, digestive illness and even e-coli poisoning in extreme cases. Maintaining sanitary hot tub water means proper balancing of sanitizers like chlorine or bromine, as well as pH levels, total alkalinity and calcium. 

Balancing hot tub chemicals is an important part of spa care but it isn’t the only step. Even with a hot tub cover on, debris and unwanted items have a way of finding their way inside. This means flooring and seats are full of sunken debris while floating skimmer baskets and filters are being clogged up with bits and pieces of debris. Keeping the filter cleaner means open channels for increased water flow but it also means using less energy and protecting water systems from undue strain. 

Even with regular cleaning practices it is important to make deep cleanings and system refreshes a part of your annual cleaning routine. A hot tub refresh is a drain and refill with heavy scrubbing and a combination of specialized cleansers. The process starts with an application of specialized hot tub cleaners that run through internal plumbing lines loosening any gunk or buildup that has collected inside, pulling it out into the water. From here, it is time to drain the hot tub. Once empty, shells, jets and headrests are scrubbed clean with specialty brushes and cleansers. Water can then be refilled with a simple garden hose and a technician will come back for a final water chemistry balancing.
