How to Keep a Hot Tub Clean: Keeping Water Systems in Great Shape 

The best approach to hot tub care is a proactive one. Instead of waiting for water to start going cloudy or green, schedule routine cleanings. As a hot tub owner you know how difficult just balancing your water can be. One wrong move or missed application can result in a serious headache. Ditch the simple test strips and let local Puddle technicians create a customized treatment plan that works for your system. 

Routine Cleanings: You might be able to refill a hot tub with a basic garden hose but there’s a lot more to keeping your spa water balanced than just that. When applied properly hot tub chemicals should last approximately 2 weeks with average household use. Instead of just relying on a basic test kit, Puddle technicians use top industry tools to test and balance chlorine levels, pH levels, total alkalinity and calcium. 

Cleaning Your Hot Tub Filters: The filters in your swimming pool impact the energy efficiency of your water system as well as the other components that keep it running. A clogged filter forces pool pumps to work hard to circulate water through your system. This means wear, tear and a shortened lifespan for key equipment. By keeping an eye on the condition of a pool filter  Puddle technicians can ensure that they are always kept clean and functional. 

Remove Debris: Even if you only use your hot tub a couple of times a week water systems are exposed to the elements every single day. Even with a hot tub cover on unwanted items have a way of making their way into water. This means bacteria, poor visuals and hard to remove items sunken down to the bottom of spas. When you call Puddle, speciality manual vacuums are used to suck up small bits and pieces, trapping them while allowing filtered water to cycle back into the basin. Technicians will also empty out floating skimmer baskets for a fully clean slate. 

Deep Cleans: In addition to regular bi-weekly cleanings it is a good idea to schedule a deep clean or system refresh at least once per year. This is a special service that includes specially formulated chemical combinations that run through water systems loosening any debris that might be sitting inside lines and around pool equipment. All of this debris is pulled out of internal systems and deposited back into the basin. Technicians then empty tubs, scrubbing and cleansing the empty shells. Speciality cleansers kill bacteria while top industry tools remove dirt, residue and discolouration without causing damage. It is then time to refill the spa before a Puddle Pro comes back to test your water for a final time. 

Puddle technicians don’t just want to leave your hot tubs looking their best, we want to keep water systems running smoothly too! A properly maintained hot tub means prolonged lifespans for water systems, lower utility bills and more enjoyment for anyone that steps foot inside.
