Georgetown Hot Tub Cleaning & Maintenance

For homes and commercial properties around Georgetown, TX, adding a hot tub or spa is always a good idea, as long as you are willing to take care of it. Hot tubs and spas can act as selling points for potential buyers and are a great way for homeowners to kick back and relax, or even entertain. Without proper care, a spa can go from an asset to a headache, so let Puddle Pool Services help. Professional hot tub maintenance can help to keep your system running smoothly and keep water clean. 

It can be difficult to fit proper hot tub care into an already busy schedule. When it comes to water balancing and hot tub chemicals, even a bit of neglect can lead to big problems down the road. Contaminated spa water can be a health risk to your tenants, friends and guests, but it can also mean added strain on your system, leading to damage. Don’t wait for the worst case; call Puddle Pool Services instead. 

What Makes Hot Tub Cleaning So Important 

Stepping foot into crystal clear water is a great feeling, but when spa water is murky, it is another story altogether. When a tub is new or just opening for the season, it is easy to grab a garden hose and fill shells with fresh water, but this won’t stay fresh for long. There are tons of things that play a role in the overall chemistry of your water. From the chemical levels to floating debris and even body oils or products, there are tons of contaminants floating nearby. 

If debris is left floating or water chemistry is not maintained, it will start to show. Murky water and algae spots are obvious signs of an issue, but there is also more subtle damage being done. Without cleaning your hot tub regularly, over time you may experience mold, white residue or mineral deposits. Each of these will reduce water flow, add strain to your system and contribute to excessive wear and tear on your spa. 

It’s important not to overlook your hot tub filters! Filtration and circulation systems are the heart of any spa, but they’re often overlooked. By keeping your filter clean, you’re improving output and energy efficiency while reducing strain. Puddle Pool Services will clean spa filters as necessary and inform owners when it’s time for a replacement. 

Cleaning your hot tub is not only a matter of saving on repair costs, but of keeping swimmers safe, as well. Contaminated water can contribute to health concerns, ranging from skin irritations, eye and ear infections and even digestive issues or e-coli poisoning. Taking the time to test the water is a good start, but a basic test kit will not help you decipher total alkalinity or how to restore pH levels. Puddle Pool Services works to restore water quality while prolonging the lifespan of your hot tub and its mechanisms. 

Deep cleaning spas regularly (every 3-4 months) will help to protect surfaces, internal systems and all of the equipment that keeps your water running. This process involves applying a special combination of spa cleaners that run through systems, loosening buildup and pulling it into shells. Technicians will then drain and clean the hot tub, including scrubbing shells, jets, seats, headrests, hot tub covers and any areas that might be holding onto bacteria. 

Puddle Pools: Not Your Average Hot Tub Cleaning Service 

The average hot tub will need to be cleaned on a bi-weekly basis, with the potential need for weekly servicing for high-traffic areas. This can be a lot to take on with an already busy schedule. If your system has been neglected, it may need what we call a “refresh”. A Refresh is not only a thorough cleaning of your system, but also involves steps to drain and refill the system as well. 

Taking the wrong approach to drain the hot tub can lead to flooding, leaks, and rotten construction materials. Cutting the power to the hot tub during cleaning or repairs is also one aspect of safe maintenance practices. Getting the best results for your swim space means a top-to-bottom clean, and that is exactly what Puddle Pool Services provides. In addition to balancing hot tub water, our experts inspect filter cartridges, motors and pumps, as well as the spa cover. 

Each member of the Puddle Pool Services team is highly trained and fully insured to provide peace of mind, as well as excellent results. With options for regular services or one-time call-outs, our experts can service private homes and commercial spaces. Call today for your free quote.
