Hot Tub Care: Building a Cleaning Program That Works 

You can’t drain your hot tub every time water starts to go cloudy or green. Keeping water clean and sanitary requires routine cleaning, as well as deep cleans to ensure both surfaces and interior systems are functional. Even if you’re familiar with using simple test strips and hot tub chemicals, that doesn’t mean you’re getting the best results for your spa. Puddle technicians create tailored cleaning programs designed to fit the unique needs of your hot tub. 

There are several factors that will impact the condition of your spa and water systems, including the rate of use, the surrounding areas, and the consistency of cleanings. Having an expert clean a hot tub means top-notch results that keep water clean, prolong the lifespan of equipment and components and improve energy efficiency. 

Test Your Water: Anyone can stock up on basic water testing strips, but these often aren’t enough to help balance chemistry in hot tubs. Having an expert test your water means getting a full makeup of chemical levels and ending the service with balanced water. Puddle technicians measure and balance sanitizer levels, pH levels, total alkalinity and calcium. 

Clean Hot Tub Filters: Even with a spa cover on, there’s no sure-fire way to keep debris out of water systems. Everything from leaves and sticks to pollen and dust can sneak into hot tubs and start to clog up spa filters. These filters are designed to hold onto those bits and pieces that are overlooked during a regular cleaning while letting filtered water pass through. When you keep your filter cleaner, you make it easier for water to circulate and relieves strain from pipes and plumbing lines. 

Remove Debris: Hot tub shells come in all shapes and sizes. More often than not, spas include steps, seats, hard angles and complex structures. This means you can’t just throw in a robotic pool vacuum and watch debris disappear. Puddle technicians use specialty handheld vacuums to suck up unwanted items from hard-to-reach areas like seats. In addition to removing debris from shells, Puddle technicians empty floating skimmer baskets and clean nearby areas.

Deep Cleans: Puddle technicians have developed an in-house deep cleaning service called a Hot Tub Refresh. This process aims to remove debris and buildup from inside plumbing lines to improve output and remove unseen contaminants that might be hiding out inside your system. Chemical treatments flow through plumbing systems, loosening debris and pulling it out. It’s then time to drain and refill the spa water, but not without heavy scrubbing in between. 

Ask your Puddle technician about optional cleaning services that focus on the exterior areas of tubs and spas. There’s no point in investing in a deep cleaning only to put a dirty hot tub cover back on and reintroduce contaminants all over again. Ask about Full Shampoo services that use specialty cleansers to scrub exteriors, covers and surrounding areas.
