Nashville Hot Tub Cleaning & Maintenance

Consistency is Key: Creating a Hot Tub Maintenance Schedule That Works 

The secret to properly maintaining a hot tub is consistency. Failing to keep up with chemical treatments and debris removal will lead to green, swampy water and a whole lot of contaminants. When water is contaminated it’ll take more than a few test strips and chemicals to correct the problem. Luckily, local experts provide routine maintenance schedules and deep cleans for spas of all shapes, sizes and styles. 

Hot Tub Water Chemistry: Warm, damp, covered environments are ideal for bacteria to form and spread. Imbalanced chemical levels can lead to algae growth, white-scale buildup, and more unpleasant surprises. When an expert tests the water in your spa they are looking at more than sanitizer levels. Puddle technicians test and balance chlorine levels, total alkalinity, pH levels, and calcium. 

Debris Removal: Unlike a swimming pool, standard robotic vacuums won’t fit in standard spas. It’s easy enough to skim floating debris off of water surfaces but reaching anything below the surface gets tricky. Puddle crews use manual vacuums to suck up unwanted items while letting filtered water pass through. 

Surface Cleaning: Every body that steps foot in your pool leaves something behind. Sunscreen, body lotions, hair products, cosmetics and more will seep off of bodies and into water. This will create a buildup of residue around water lines. Puddle crews use specialty brushes and cleansers to scrub away residue without causing damage. 

Filtration & Circulation Systems: Hot tub filters are always hard at work but rarely get the recognition that they deserve. These filters operate by trapping and holding small pieces of debris. Filtered water passes through cartridges and back into basins. If filters are clogged it becomes harder for water to pass through, meaning pumps and motors have to work harder. This will shorten the lifespans of important components and leave you with a hefty repair bill. 

Deep Cleans: Even with regular cleanings buildup will start to form inside internal systems and plumbing lines. This will reduce water flow, functionality and energy efficiency. Puddle has created a multiple-step cleaning process that cleans spas from the inside, and out. A special combination of hot tub chemicals is applied to spa water. When carried through lines these chemicals will loosen debris and pull it out into basins that can then be drained. Once empty, it’s time to scrub seats, flooring, walls, jets and headrests. As soon as all surfaces are clean hot tub owners can grab a garden hose and refill water levels. Technicians will come back the following day for a final water balancing.
