Mississauga Hot Tub Maintenance

Imagine coming home after a long day at work, throwing back your hot tub cover and seeing cloudy water or being hit with a foul smell. This can take a stressful day from bad to worse but with professional Mississauga hot tub maintenance on your side, you never have to worry about it! Calling a Puddle Pro for your regular cleaning, deep cleans and seasonal refreshes keeps your system running, your swim spaces sanitary and your curb appeal high. 

Unlike standard household cleaning, a bit of water and white vinegar are not enough to get spa surfaces clean. Taking a DIY approach to hot tub care means subpar results, as well as overlooked issues that will get worse over time. Balanced hot tub water doesn’t just happen, but expert care will make it seem like it does. 

The Essentials of Hot Tub Care: Expert Do’s and Don’ts for Mississauga Owners

Just like anything else, there is a right way and a wrong way to handle your hot tub. At a distance, spa care seems simple but these are complex structures and should be treated as such. 

Do: Monitor Water Chemistry: Test strips are a dime a dozen at any pool supply store but when used regularly, these can be great resources. Even a basic test kit can point out an imbalance in sanitizers and necessary chemicals. Without a routine application of hot tub chemicals, water will quickly become discoloured, go cloudy or begin to smell. It is important to keep sanitizer levels balanced, along with pH levels, total alkalinity and calcium for proper water balancing. 

Don’t: Ignore Your Filtration System: When enjoying a dip, it is easy to forget about hot tub filters. The filtration and circulation systems are the heart and soul of any water system. If filters are clogged, bacteria can grow inside them and if circulation systems are struggling, they will weigh down on the functionality of your system. If these key systems are left to struggle you might notice a spike in utility bills, difficulty heating pool water, or the need for premature repairs and replacements. Routine cleaning services mean an expert will clean the filter for better output. 

Do: Perform Seasonal Maintenance: Protecting your hot tub or swim spa for a season means a full workup of your system to ensure that you are not entering into cold weather with vulnerable points. By examining all parts of the hot tub, it is possible to do small repairs and fix issues before they become worse. When preparing for a new season, everything from hot tub filters to the spa cover play a role in the overall health and functionality of your water feature. 

Don’t: Drain Tubs On Your Own: If you are beginning to notice issues within your spa water, it is a good idea to drain the hot tub and start from scratch. Far from pulling a plug and letting tubs drain out, draining a high volume of water involves technical care and careful practices. An amateur approach can lead to drowned lawns in the best case scenario, and serious flooding or water damage in the worst-case scenario. 

Do: Schedule a Deep Clean: Just because you are dealing with warm water doesn’t mean that it is sanitary. Even with a routine cleaning program it is important to incorporate deep cleans or system refreshes to keep your hot tub in great shape. A refresh means having to drain and refill water, with heavy scrubbing and specialized chemical treatments in-between. Specialized chemical programs pull sitting debris, mold, bacteria and buildup from inside internal water lines and plumbing systems and deposits it back into the spa water. This water is then drained so shells, jets, headrests and other vulnerable areas can be scrubbed clean. Water can then be refilled and balanced. Incorporating refreshes on a semi-annual basis keeps your hot tub cleaner, over a longer period.
