How often should I drain and refill my hot tub in London?

In London, we recommend a full drain and refill every 3 to 4 months. Because hot tubs have a small water volume, Total Dissolved Solids (TDS) from sweat, lotions, and environmental debris build up quickly. A fresh start ensures your ON spa remains easy to balance and sanitary for every soak.

How do local London weather conditions affect hot tub chemistry?

Whether dealing with Ontario's seasonal temperature swings or intense sun, external factors directly impact sanitizer levels. High usage or extreme ambient temperatures can cause chemicals to deplete faster. Our weekly London service monitors these fluctuations to prevent cloudy water and maintain a safe pH balance year-round.

What causes foaming in my London hot tub, and how is it fixed?

Foaming is usually caused by a buildup of organic matter, soaps, or oils. In London, environmental pollutants and heavy bather loads can accelerate this. While temporary defoamers exist, we focus on deep-cleaning your filters and balancing the water's calcium hardness to eliminate foam at the source and keep your water crystal clear.

Is professional hot tub maintenance necessary during the off-season in ON?

Yes. Neglecting a hot tub during periods of low use in London can lead to stagnant water, biofilm growth in the plumbing, or equipment damage from temperature extremes. Regular check-ups ensure your pumps stay active and your water remains balanced, protecting your investment until you're ready to dive back in.

How can I extend the life of my hot tub equipment in London, Ontario?

The best way to protect your spa is through consistent chemical management and equipment inspections. Our London technicians check for leaks, clean scale from heating elements, and ensure your cover is sealing properly. Preventing chemical corrosion and scale buildup is the key to avoiding expensive repairs in our Ontario climate.

London Hot Tub Maintenance

Nothing cuts through a chilly evening like a soak in a hot tub. In fact, there is never a bad time to kick back and relax in a backyard tub but these perks don’t come without a lot of hard work. When they are maintained properly, tubs and swim spas can ease sore muscles, help you relax, as well as adding curb appeal and value to your home or commercial space. If you are having a hard time keeping up, calling Puddle for your London hot tub maintenance and keep water systems running smoothly.

Hot tubs don’t always struggle in obvious ways. Contamination and system strain can start subtle and get worse over times. Proper cleaning not only helps to improve visuals but it improves the output of your water systems, preventing unnecessary wear and tear, and the need for expensive repairs. If water is cloudy or green, you are noticing white mold or mildew or you are just sick of skimming and water balancing, call a Puddle Pro to keep your hot tub cleaner and in better condition.

Hot Tub Care: What to Know

A damp, dark and covered space is the ideal environment for algae to thrive — add warm water to this and it is a recipe for disaster. Hot tub chemicals reduce the risk of algae growth and keep water safe to swim in. In addition to dealing with the hot tub water itself, it is important to clean and assess internal lines and components, as well as shells, covers and other areas. In order to get the best results for our clients, Puddle technicians offer options for routine cleanings, as well as deep cleans as necessary.

Regular Hot Tub Cleaning Program: The average household hot tub should be cleaned on a bi-weekly basis (every second week) while a commercial hot tub might need to be cleaned multiple times per week. During the course of a regular cleaning, water is tested and balanced. This means testing sanitizer levels, pH levels, total alkalinity and calcium. Any debris is removed using speciality tools and sides, seats and flooring is scrubbed to remove any sign of residue. It is important to monitor hot tub filters to ensure that they are working properly, along with pumps, return lines and jets. If you clean the filter regularly, you can expect less strain on your system and a better overall results.

Deep Hot Tub Cleans: It is easy to drain and refill a bathtub but dealing with a hot tub is a completely different story. Even with regular cleaning, buildup will form inside lines and unreachable areas. This means new water will be contaminated again as soon as you turn your tub back on. This is why Puddle technicians have developed a refresh program that digs deep into systems, removing debris from even the toughest areas. Specialized chemical treatments pull buildup and debris from inside lines, letting it empty back into water. It is then time to drain the hot tub. Improper draining can lead to drowned lawns, water damage and even flooded structures so it is always better left to the experts. Shells, seats, floors, jets and headrests can then be scrubbed using specialty tools and cleansers to eliminate bacteria. Water can then be refilled and water chemistry balanced.

In addition to balancing chemical levels and keeping your filter cleaner, Puddle technicians offer optional shampooing services for the spa cover, shells and surrounding areas. If your hot tub cover is showing signs of algae, mold or bacteria, replacing it after a deep clean is just another way that water becomes contaminated.
