Proper Maintenance for Your Hot Tubs Published on Sunday, 27 June 2010 You definitely purchased a hot tub for a very special purpose. Hence, keep in mind to take great care of it properly to ensure its efficiency for a long period of time. As you know, hot tubs can easily become ineffective if not maintained properly. To help you with the maintenance, start testing the water. This must be done once a week using the testing strips provided by the tub's manufacturer. This is essential so as to make sure that your water is appropriate for the type of your hot tub. Secondly, make a shock treatment at least once per week too. However, if you are using it for more than four times in a week, the shocking must be done twice weekly. Then, make sure that you answer the chemical needs of your hot tub such as a higher Ph level, bromine, and the like. Also, do not turn off your pump. Having it running for 24 hours every day can prevent viruses and bacteria from growing in the water. Or, you can buy an automatic timer that you can install in the tub to activate the pump several times a day. Lastly, clean the tub's filter from time to time. Simply refer to your hot tub's manufacturer for proper cleaning instructions. Performing this kind of maintenance will help you to maximize the potential of your hot tub. Plus, this can also minimize the risks of certain diseases brought by germs and bacteria in the hot tubs.
