Fort Myers Hot Tub Cleaning & Maintenance

A long soak in a hot tub is great for easing sore muscles but if your spa is in poor condition it is anything but relaxing. Trying to keep up with cleaning and maintenance can really take the fun out of being a hot tub owner, so let your local Puddle Pro handle the heavy lifting. Don’t spend your leisure time skimming, scrubbing and water testing, call Puddle for your Fort Myers hot tub maintenance instead! 

Just throwing on a hot tub cover isn’t enough to keep your spa water in great shape. Missing just one chemical treatment can lead to cloudy water which will quickly turn into algae. Swampy water isn’t just visually unappealing it is a serious health risk. You wouldn’t climb into old bathwater, so why would you climb into a contaminated tub? Call Puddle to create a customized cleaning program that keeps your tub in great shape. 

The Benefit of Professional Hot Tub Cleaning: Avoid DIY Disaster 

Whether you are installing a new water system or managing an existing one, a spa can be a major asset or a huge liability. When kept in good condition a hot tub or spa will boost the curb appeal of any property and add sales value at the same time. In the same way that adding a spa is an investment in your property, so is routine maintenance! 

Unlike other areas of your home, you can’t just grab a spray cleaner and brush and start scrubbing away at the sides of a spa. Using harsh chemicals or abrasive tools will strip away protective coatings and can even cause damage. In the same way that surfaces and structures need to be maintained, so does water condition. Before you grab a basic test kit, it’s important to understand that they don’t always consider every aspect of your water balance. 

When working with an expert, experienced technicians will test the water using state-of-the-art kits that cover a wide spectrum of chemical levels. With a deeper understanding of the chemical balance of hot tub water, we create customized treatment plans that keep your hot tub cleaner, longer. 

The Puddle Method: How Our Technicians Work 

Maintaining your hot tub is not an every-now-and-then task. Keeping water clean means keeping up with a routine that covers a top-to-bottom servicing of your water system as well as seasonal deep cleans. The needs of a hot tub or spa will change throughout the year so it is important to keep up or before you know it, you’ll be dealing with a swamp instead of a spa. 

Instead of just tossing in a few chemicals and skimming leaves off of water surfaces our team of highly skilled technicians have broken cleanings down into multiple steps for the best possible results, every time. 

Water Care: Maintaining clean water is incredibly important for homes and commercial properties. Stepping foot into contaminated water can result in swimmer’s ear, eye infections, skin irritations and the potential for digestive issues. Instead of leaning on simple test strips, Puddle technicians come equipped with the top tools for measuring not only sanitizer levels but total alkalinity, pH levels and calcium as well. In the wrong hands, hot tub chemicals can be dangerous so application is always best left to the experts. 

Debris Removal: Unlike a swimming pool you can’t just flip the switch on a robotic vacuum to suck up unwanted items in a hot tub. The standard spa has seats, steps and other tricky areas and that means using manual vacuums that can reach into even the hardest-to-reach areas. 

Check Filters: Keeping the hot tub filter cleaner doesn’t just make things more sanitary, it helps output as well! The goal of hot tub filters is to trap and hold small bits and pieces of debris, pulling them from water while letting clean water pass through. Over time debris will start to pile up, making it more difficult to circulate. This means pumps have to work harder to keep water moving. Added strain wears down on lifecycles, leading to the need for expensive repairs and premature replacements. 

Deep Cleans: Even with a regular hot tub maintenance schedule it is always a good idea to refresh your system once or twice annually. Surfaces may look clean but there is always the risk of buildup happening behind the scenes and inside lines. A Hot Tub Refresh all starts with a specialized combination of chemicals that flow through lines, loosening dirt and debris and allowing it to flow back out into the water. The water is then fully drained. Once empty, shells, jets, headrests and any other area that might hold onto debris are treated and scrubbed to remove all bacteria. It’s then time to grab a garden hose and refill that water level. Technicians will then come back for a final water balancing.
