Water Care & Maintenance

Keep Your Spa Water Crystal Clear

Proper water care is essential for a safe, comfortable, and long-lasting hot tub experience. Follow this comprehensive guide to maintain perfect water quality.

Daily Water Care Routine

• Check water temperature (ideal: 100-104°F)
• Verify cover is secure when not in use
• Remove visible debris with skimmer net
• Run jets for 15-20 minutes to circulate water

Weekly Water Testing

Test and adjust these parameters every 2-3 days:

• pH Level: 7.2-7.8 (ideal: 7.4-7.6)
• Alkalinity: 80-120 ppm
• Sanitizer: Chlorine 3-5 ppm or Bromine 4-6 ppm
• Calcium Hardness: 150-250 ppm

Monthly Maintenance Tasks

• Clean or replace filters (clean monthly, replace every 3-4 months)
• Shock treatment to oxidize contaminants
• Clean water line with specialized cleaner
• Inspect and clean jets
• Check cover condition and clean if needed

Quarterly Deep Cleaning

Every 3-4 months, perform a complete water change:

1. Add system flush cleaner and run jets for 15 minutes
2. Drain hot tub completely
3. Wipe down shell and jets with non-abrasive cleaner
4. Clean or replace all filters
5. Refill with fresh water
6. Balance all water chemistry parameters

Common Water Problems & Solutions

• Cloudy water: Shock treatment, clean filters, check pH
• Foamy water: Reduce soap residue, add defoamer, drain if persistent
• Green water: Algae growth - shock, scrub, filter continuously
• Scale buildup: Lower pH, add scale preventer
• Strong chlorine smell: Actually means not enough chlorine - shock water
