Sarnia Hot Tub Maintenance

Even if you only use your hot tub during the fall or spring months, these water systems need to be maintained throughout the year. Nothing can improve a chilly evening better than a warm water soak but you can’t enjoy this unless your spa is kept clean. It is easy to forget about water systems when they aren’t in use but even a bit of neglect can lead to serious repercussions for hot tubs and swim spas. Instead of dealing with a worst-case scenario, let our Puddle technicians keep your systems in great shape no matter the time of year. Puddle provides Sarnia hot tub maintenance that keeps water clean and systems flowing for homes and businesses in the area. 

Cleaning your hot tub is not as simple as dumping in chemicals every once in a while and putting on a spa cover. In fact, when covered a tub or spa is the ideal place for bacteria to thrive. Without regular cleaning and chemical applications, damp, dark and hot spaces are likely to develop algae, mold and discolouration in no time at all, so a routine is the best way to prevent contamination. 

Hot Tub Care: Creating a Treatment Plan That Works 

In order to get the best results for your water systems it is important to consider cleaning and maintenance in multiple parts, each of which cater to a different aspect of your system. Unlike a basic bath tub, you can’t just drain and clean the hot tub on your property every time it starts to look dirty. As a hot tub owner, you want to protect your systems from damage, keep water clean and looking great — and our Puddle technicians are here to help!

Anyone can stock up on test strips and chemicals but this doesn’t mean you know how to use them instantly. It can take weeks or even months to figure out how your water systems work along with the best way to keep them clean. During this time your hot tub becomes contaminated and it takes a whole lot of work to restore condition. 

Routine Hot Tub Cleaning: Many homeowners and businesses in Sarnia want to keep their hot tubs open all year long and that means 365 days of care, cleaning and water chemistry. In most cases, a bi-weekly cleaning program keeps water balanced and shells clean and ready for use. Puddle technicians offer bi-weekly treatment plans that keep hot tub water chemically treated, clean and free of algae growth. Maintaining spa water means keeping an eye on sanitizer levels like chlorine or bromine, as well pH levels, alkalinity and calcium. Regular cleaning programs also feature vacuuming out sitting debris, skimming surfaces, emptying floating skimmer baskets and checking up on spa filters. Keeping a routine can also help to keep the filter cleaner. 

Deep Cleans: Even with a regular maintenance plan, it is important to perform deep cleans on a bi-annual basis to keep water systems and internal components in good, working order. This process means applying a specialty chemical treatment that flows through plumbing lines pulling out any build-up that may have formed inside, pushing it into the shell which can then be drained. When you want to drain the hot tub water from your system you can’t just pull a drain plug and let water flow out. Improper draining can quickly lead to drowned lawns and flooded structures so it is always best left up to an expert. Once empty, shells, jets and headrests can then be scrubbed clean. It is then time to refill the hot tub which can be done with a simple garden hose and then water can be balanced for a great final result. 

If you are concerned with the appearance of the exterior area of your tub, our Puddle Pros can help with that! With optional total shampoo services Puddle Pros can clean exterior areas, hot tub covers and more.
