Maintaining your hot tub is just as important as draining it periodically. Having a comprehensive weekly maintenance program, on top of adding a quality sanitizer and getting the water professionally tested once a month, will help prolong the cleanliness of your hot tub. Using products such as Stain & Scale and Spa Weekly will help prolong the life of your hot tub and keep your water looking and feeling great. Aggressive water will scale, corrode and break down heating elements, pump seals and the acrylic surface of your hot tub. Stain and Scale will provide a protective coating to the surface of the tub as well as the heating element, keeping your hot tub running efficiently. Spa Weekly is a natural enzyme that is added directly to the water. Adding an enzyme treatment to your weekly maintenance program will help break down bather waste and environmental debris, which can clog lines, cause foaming, cause cloudiness and add to the total dissolved solids in the water. Spa Weekly will create naturally brilliant looking water without leaving behind by products or causing irritation.

Using test strips every week to make sure chemical levels are within range will help to prevent water quality issues. You should also be lightly rinsing your hot tub filter every week and chemically cleaning it every 4-6 weeks. The filter collects debris, oil, grease and will trap microorganisms, preventing them from circulating in the water. Eventually, the filter will become plugged and will not be able to hold onto any more debris. Taking proper care of your filter will help keep your water safe and clear.
