London Hot Tub Maintenance

There is nothing quite like a soak in a warm spa to cut through a chilly Ontario evening. While a backyard hot tub or swim spa offers the perfect retreat for relaxing and easing sore muscles, maintaining that pristine environment requires consistent effort. Beyond the comfort, a well-maintained spa adds significant curb appeal and value to your London property. If the chemistry and cleaning are becoming a secondary job, let the experts at Puddle handle your London hot tub maintenance. We take the work out of your hands so you can get back to what matters – enjoying your investment.

Hot tub issues aren’t always visible to the naked eye. Subtle contamination and mechanical strain can build up over time, leading to poor water quality and potential system failure. Our professional cleaning services go beyond just aesthetics; we optimize the efficiency of your pumps and heaters, preventing the “wear and tear” that leads to costly emergency repairs. Whether you are battling cloudy water, stubborn white mold, or you’re simply tired of the constant skimming and balancing, a Puddle Pro ensures your hot tub remains in peak condition and ready for a soak at any time.

Hot Tub Care: Essential Maintenance & Water Safety

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.

London Hot Tub Maintenance: Frequently Asked Questions

How often should I have my hot tub professionally cleaned in London, Ontario?

For most residential hot tubs in London, we recommend a professional water balancing and surface cleaning every two weeks. However, if you have a high “bather load” (frequent guests) or a commercial spa, weekly service is best. A full “drain and refill” or deep system flush should be performed every 3 to 4 months to remove Total Dissolved Solids (TDS) and prevent plumbing buildup that regular chemicals can’t reach.

Why is my hot tub water cloudy or foaming?

Cloudy water is typically caused by improper pH balance, old filters, or a buildup of organic matter like lotions and body oils. Foaming is often a sign of “soft water” (low calcium hardness) or soap residue from swimwear. Our London technicians resolve this by deep-cleaning your filters, balancing calcium levels, and using professional-grade enzymes to break down organic contaminants, ensuring your water stays “Happy Snappy” and clear.

Do I need to maintain my hot tub during a London winter?

Yes. Winter is actually the most critical time for hot tub maintenance in London, ON. Cold temperatures put extra strain on your heater and pumps; if your chemistry is off or a component fails, the water can freeze quickly, causing thousands in damage. Regular professional checks ensure your heater is functioning efficiently and your water remains sanitary even when the tub is covered for weeks at a time.

What is included in a Puddle Pools "Deep Clean" service?

Our deep-cleaning “Refresh Program” goes beyond the surface. We use specialized plumbing flushes to pull biofilm and bacteria out of the internal lines. We then safely drain the water (following London’s local drainage bylaws), scrub the acrylic shell, clean the jets, and degrease the filters. Finally, we refill the tub and precision-balance the chemicals so it’s ready for immediate use.

Can professional maintenance extend the life of my hot tub?

Absolutely. Most hot tub repairs in London—such as leaking seals or failed heaters—are caused by poor water chemistry. If the water is too acidic, it eats away at components; if it’s too alkaline, scale builds up on heating elements. Consistent professional monitoring prevents chemical corrosion and mechanical strain, often adding years to the lifespan of your pumps and control systems.
