Hot Tub Maintenance Guidelines

Step-by-Step Cleaning Process

Pre-Drain Pipe Cleaning:
Before emptying the water, apply a specialized pipe-cleaning solution and let it circulate through the jets. This step clears debris from internal pipes and equipment, recommended every three years or so.

Complete Draining:
Empty the spa entirely to prepare for surface cleaning.

Acrylic Surface Care:
Use a soft, damp cloth or sponge to wipe the interior surface. Mild cleaning agents like distilled vinegar or denatured alcohol are suitable for removing stains.

Avoid abrasive cleaners (such as powders or creams), as they can scratch and dull the surface.

Never use household soaps or detergents, as these cause excessive foaming.

Refilling the Spa:
When refilling, set the thermostat to its lowest (“Cold”) setting until the spa is full and all pumps/jets are confirmed to be functioning properly. Adjust the temperature to your preference afterward.

Water Chemistry Balance:
Promptly balance the alkalinity and pH levels of the water. This process may take several days to complete fully.

Adding Starter Chemicals:
Follow the instructions in your spa’s care manual to introduce the appropriate starter chemicals.

Specialized Water Additives:
After achieving proper chemical balance, incorporate a natural water treatment product designed for hot tubs.

Routine Maintenance Tips

Filter Cleaning:
Clean filters every 4–6 weeks by rinsing with a garden hose. If a hose is unavailable, a dishwasher can be used (do not use soap or high heat for drying). For convenience, rotate between two filters to ensure continuous use.

Skimmer Basket Maintenance:
Empty the skimmer basket every 1–2 weeks to remove leaves, debris, and other contaminants. Always turn off the spa before removing the basket for safety.

By following these steps, you can maintain a clean, safe, and enjoyable hot tub experience throughout the year. For further questions, consult your spa provider’s customer support. Happy relaxing!
