Dorchester County Hot Tub Cleaning & Maintenance

Keeping a Routine: Creating a Hot Tub Maintenance Schedule That Works 

When it comes to proper hot tub care, consistency is key. Skipping just one cleaning is enough to send chemical levels into a spiral. Throwing in a few chemicals or a shock treatment isn’t enough to keep spas clean and that is why Puddle technicians have created a multi-step approach designed to clean a hot tub shell and the internal systems that keep water flowing. 

On average, properly applied hot tub chemicals will last for approximately two weeks. During this time they are working to prevent algae growth and contamination. Puddle technicians offer routine cleaning programs that service spas every two weeks. In addition to cleaning programs, Puddle Pool Services offers seasonal and deep cleaning options. 

Routine Cleanings

When you choose Puddle for your routine pool cleanings, you can expect a full-service clean, including chemical balancing, debris removal, scrubbing, filter checks, and more. 

Water Chemistry: Puddle technicians don’t rely on basic test strips to balance water chemistry, we use state-of-the-art tools for a full view of how your spa water is stacking up. Technicians will balance chlorine levels, total alkalinity, pH levels, and calcium. 

Debris Removal: Spa structures are often complicated. Even with a hot tub cover on, unwanted items make their way into water systems. Some of these will float along water surfaces while others will sink, settling in seats or on flooring. A standard pool vacuum can’t navigate the shape of shells. Puddle pros use manual vacuums to remove debris while letting filtered water pass through. We will also check floating skimmer baskets and scrub residue from water lines for a clean slate. 

Filter Cleanings: Without regular cleanings hot tub filters become a lot less efficient and put strain on water systems. Pool pumps are designed to guide water through circulation systems. Filters are designed to trap and hold small bits and pieces of debris that are floating around inside water. If filters are blocked, pool pumps have to work harder, meaning wear and tear, shortened lifespan, and the need for expensive repairs. 

Deep Cleans: Even with a routine cleaning program it’s important to make deep cleanings a part of your maintenance routine. Over time, buildup will start to form inside lines, reducing efficiency and output. In order to keep spas running smoothly, Puddle technicians have created a step-by-step Refresh Service that cleans water systems inside and out. It all starts with an application of specialty chemicals designed to flow through systems, loosening buildup and pulling debris into shells. It’s then time to drain out the dirty water. Once the spa is empty technicians scrub shells, seats, jets, and headrests. Water can be refilled with a basic garden hose, and your local Puddle crew will come back to test the water for a final time.
