Plano Hot Tub Maintenance

As a hot tub owner, you understand how relaxing it can be to step out of a stressful work day and into a spa. Whether it is a chilly summer evening or the middle of winter, there is never a bad time to kick back in your tub — as long as it’s clean, that is! Keeping a spa clean can feel like a full-time job but it doesn’t have to! By creating a tailored Plano hot tub maintenance program you can keep your water system running smoothly and ready to use at a moment’s notice. 

Proper hot tub maintenance doesn’t just improve the look of your spa, it will help with functionality, efficiency and will prolong the lifespan of its components. This means avoiding the high costs of premature repairs and expensive replacements. Ditch the basic test kit and have your friendly, neighbourhood Puddle Pros create a treatment plan that works for your unique space. 

Hot Tub Care: What to Do & When 

When maintaining a pool or hot tub it is important to keep water clean but the hard work doesn’t stop there! Grabbing a skimmer and clearing out unwanted items that are floating along the water surfaces is easy but everything below the surface takes training, technique and specialty tools. The best way to get great results for your spa is cleaning with a multi-step approach that treats it from top to bottom, inside and out. 

Spa Water Testing & Balancing: Simple test strips are a dime a dozen at any pool supply store but it’s a lot easier to buy them than it is to put them to use. Even if a test kit identifies an issue with your water balance it doesn’t tell you how to solve the problem. When you have a professional test your water you get the best possible results, every time. A Puddle technician will test for sanitizer levels, total alkalinity, pH levels and calcium and regulate each of these by applying hot tub chemicals for complete water balance. 

Removing Debris: Even with a hot tub cover on debris has a way of finding its way inside. This means having to scoop up floating items and struggling to pick up anything that has sunken to the bottom of the tub. Unlike a swimming pool you can’t just flip the switch on a pool vacuum and watch it suck up unwanted items. Most spas have seats and smaller areas near feet that can’t accommodate a standard robotic cleaner. Manual, hand-held vacuums suck up debris while allowing filtered water to pass through, back into basins. 

Clean Hot Tub Filters and Lines: The goal of any pool filter is to trap and hold smaller bits and pieces of debris that are missed during regular cleanings. In time more and more items will make their way into filters, making it more difficult for water to pass through. Pumps then have to work harder to circulate water. By inspecting filters regularly you can organize cleanings as necessary, improving efficiency and taking the pressure off your pumps and internal systems. Puddle members offer options to clean the filters and perform a line flush to keep things running smoothly. 

Deep Cleans: Even with a routine cleaning program in place it is important to make deep cleanings a part of your annual maintenance routine. Over the course of the year buildup will start to form inside lines. There is nothing worse than cleaning a hot tub only to have gunk and buildup backup into freshly treated water. A Hot Tub Refresh uses a multi-step chemical treatment that is specially designed to flow into lines, loosening buildup and letting it drain back into the hot tub water. From here, the water is drained. Once empty, the spa is fully scrubbed with specialized tools and cleansers, cleaning walls, seats, jet, headrests and any other area that can hold onto bacteria. Water can be easily refilled with a simple garden hose and a technician will come back for a final water balancing. 

The Puddle Guarantee: Excellent Results For Your Hot Tub Every Time 

After years of experience our team of local Puddle Pros know how to get the best results for hot tubs and swim spas of any size, shape or style. Instead of relying on standard cleaning methods like a soft cloth or bleach-based cleanser that might strip away protective coatings, trust experts to take a top-notch approach using specialized industry tools and cleansers. 

A standard hot tub should be cleaned and water balanced every two weeks. In the event of a high traffic space, you may require additional cleanings to maintain a clean and inviting swim space for yourself, friends, family and guests. When treating commercial spaces you might need a customized treatment plan that demands cleanings multiple times a week but that’s no problem for our Puddle technicians!
