Miami Hot Tub Cleaning & Maintenance

For tourists, Miami is a city full of culture and a vibrant nightlife, for homeowners, it is a great place to put down roots. Whether you are catering to visitors or are looking after the safety of your friends and family, everyone loves kicking back in a hot tub. When you want to maintain water balance, or have shells scrubbed, our Puddle Pool Pros can help to keep your feature in good condition with our Miami hot tub maintenance. 

You might use your hot tub every day, or barely at all, but no matter how much traffic a spa sees, there are basic treatments that should always be done. It is important to test the water in your system regularly, but using test strips alone are not enough to solve your issues. Professional care means keeping your tub looking great, running smoothly and helps to prolong the lifespan of your equipment, meaning less cost on repairs, and even avoiding premature replacement. 

Hot Tub Care 101: How to Keep Your Hot Tub Cleaner

Installing a hot tub is a quick way to add value to any property. For commercial spaces, it helps to draw in guests and does the same for tenants in rental properties. The addition of a spa is also a great way to increase enjoyment of your living space but taking care of these appliances requires much more than filling your shell with a garden hose. The key to clean hot tub water is balanced water chemistry. 

Just like a pool, spa water needs to maintain the right chemical levels to avoid murky water, algae growth or white mold formation. While a quick shot of shock treatment can help to improve the look of your pool, there are some issues that hot tub chemicals can’t solve on their own. In order to keep your system running smoothly, you should be prepared for a deep clean (or, a Refresh, as we call it at Puddle), as well as regular maintenance. 

Regular Hot Tub Cleaning: In order to keep your tub in great condition, our experts recommend bi-weekly servicing during the on-season. This means balancing chemicals and sanitizer levels, inspection of motors and filter cartridges, as well as a quick vacuum and scrubbing the sides of your shell to ensure there is no remaining residue. Unlike a standard swimming pool that needs to be cleaned multiple times a week, hot tub chemicals are effective for approximately two weeks at a time. 

Deep Clean: If you have closed your system over the winter or have just left it sitting for a while, it is a good idea to opt for a deep clean of your system. This involves a chemical treatment that runs through your system, loosening and pulling out any gunk from within pipes and mechanisms. From here, the next step is draining your hot tub. Pumps are used to drain the water, and sides and flooring are then scrubbed clean. It is then time to refill the hot tub and perform a final testing and balancing of sanitizers levels, pH levels, total alkalinity and more. 

If you want to keep your water clean, you’ll have to clean your filter as needed. Hot tub filters are designed to catch and hold small bits and pieces of debris that are floating around in water. Without regular cleaning it becomes harder for water to circulate through. Restrictions put strain on pumps and internal water systems. Avoid the high cost of premature repairs and replacements with a routine cleaning program. 

Ask your Puddle technician about our optional Full Shampoo service. This process involves a thorough cleaning of exterior surfaces including the outer shell and hot tub cover. 

Professional Hot Tub Services: A Matter of Health and Safety 

Cloudy water or bad smells can create a bad visual and unappealing swim space, but it can also lead to illness and irritations. Everything from imbalanced chemicals to exterior contaminants can play a role in skin irritations, eye infections, ear infections and other recreational water illnesses. Any illness is bad news but it is even worse for commercial properties, like hotels and communal areas, like condo buildings or apartments.

Each member of the Puddle team is highly trained and experienced, so they know their way around your system.
