How to Maintain Your Spa or Hot Tub
HOW TO 
Tags: Spa, Hot Tub, Hot Tub Maintance
Diligent maintance of your spa or hot tub can leave you with a relaxing place for years to come.
| 1. | Check the water every day to see how it looks. |
| 2. | Use econo-mode and turn your thermometer up (101 to 104 degrees is comfy for many people) about a half hour before you want to use it to save energy. Turn it up and then go take a shower before you get in. |
| 3. | Use test strips 2 times per week. Adjust chemical levels after you compare the strip with the chart on the strip container. It is really art not science, but practice does improve your ability to manage your spa. We have found that all goes well if you can just keep the chlorine level and Ph level balanced as it has just been too hard to get everything balanced at once. |
| 4. | If you have a cartridge filter, spray it with a hose to remove oils, dirt and other material. Pool stores also sell special cleaning fluids that you can spray into the filter. |
| 5. | Change the water every 3, 4, or 6 months depending on how much your spa is used and how it looks. |
| 6. | Change the filter once per year. |
| 7. | Make sure your cover fits tightly over your spa to prevent heat from escaping. A newer, better insulating cover may pay for itself by cutting your energy bill. |
