Austin Hot Tub Cleaning & Maintenance

A hot tub can add a lot of character and enjoyment to any property but it doesn’t come without a lot of hard work. Unlike a basic bathtub that can be refilled and emptied with every use a hot tub or swim spa needs a specialized treatment plan with specialized tools to keep it in good condition. Calling Puddle for your Austin hot tub maintenance means all of the enjoyment with none of the effort. We’ll skim, scrub and treat water systems so you don’t have to! 

Maintaining a hot tub seems simple enough: toss in chemicals, skim out unwanted items floating along water surfaces and scrub the sides, right? If only it were that easy! Keeping your system running smoothly means keeping up with a regular cleaning routine, seasonal care and having to buy and store a ton of equipment and chemicals. If this sounds tough, you’re right! Luckily, our team of local Puddle technicians are here to help! 

Hot Tub Care: More Than Just Chemicals 

Pool supply stores are a dime a dozen and it’s easy to stock up on basic test strips and buckets of chemicals. These might be helpful in their own way but they aren’t enough to keep your water systems clean and running smoothly. Keeping a tub in great shape means cleaning the areas that you can see, as well as the ones that you can’t. Internal water systems are tricky to maintain and that is why it’s always better to call an expert. 

When you want to keep your hot tub cleaner it’s always best to take a multi-step approach. This means taking a step-by-step approach that covers surfaces, water condition and internal plumbing lines. If that sounds tricky, don’t worry — we’ve got you covered! 

Debris Removal: Hot tubs are complex structures with seats, steps and complicated areas. With this in mind you can’t expect a standard pool vacuum to suck up unwanted items. Getting rid of debris in hard to reach areas requires a specialty hand-held model that takes in water and debris, separates them and holds onto unwanted items. Don’t bother spending your money on equipment and your time on cleaning when a local Puddle Pro will bring everything needed along with us! 

Spa Water Treatments: Applying hot tub chemicals isn’t as easy as just throwing in a couple of pucks and hoping for the best. An imbalanced tub will start to go cloudy, green, smelly and eventually algae growth will start to take over.  Puddle technicians keep water clean with regular testing and balancing. This means looking at chlorine levels as well as total alkalinity, pH levels and calcium. 

Internal Water Systems: Hot tub plumbing is often out of sight and out of mind but keeping these systems in great shape is key to maintaining good condition. Puddle technicians flush return lines and check hot tub filters with every service. A full filter makes it harder for water to circulate through lines and components. This puts added strain on pumps and can shorten the lifespan of your equipment. 

Seasonal Care: Even with a regular cleaning program it’s important to deep clean tubs or swim spas once or potentially twice a year. This process doesn’t just drain and refill your hot tub’s water, it uses a specialized combination of chemicals to loosen dirt, debris and buildup that has formed inside lines. These chemicals are applied when a hot tub is full and running. Once buildup is loosened it will flow into the basin which can then be emptied. Before you try to drain your hot tub on your own think about where all that water is going! Have a professional drain it for you. Once empty shells, seats, flooring, jets and headrests can be scrubbed clean. Once this is done it’s time to grab a garden hose and refill water! 

Puddle Pool Services: Cleaning Your Hot Tub Made Easy 

Anyone can throw on a hot tub cover but this isn’t enough to keep your water systems in good shape. When you want the best results, ditch the test kit and call a local Puddle technician. Having an expert test the water in your tub means proper balancing, better results and it makes it easier to enjoy your leisure time inside! 

At Puddle we understand that every hot tub and spa is unique. With that, we create unique treatment plans made to suit your water system. For the average hot tub a bi-weekly cleaning is enough but if you are dealing with a high rate of use you might need cleanings more often than that. Puddle technicians account for rate of use, type of tub, surrounding plant life and climate when creating a cleaning plan.
