An outdoor hot tub spa requires more maintenance than indoor hot tubs to stay on top of your water and overall hot tub spa quality. In this section Hot Tubs and Portable Spas is going to go over what you need to do to maintain your hot tub spa so they last longer and work better.
Hot tub filters are probably the most important part of your hot tub spa. These hot tub filters will filter out all of the leaves, dirt, hair and other debris associated with the outdoors. Having 2 of these filters for your hot tub spa is always a good idea – and rotating them out every 3 weeks will keep them in good working order.
a skimmer is a good filter to have for outdoor hot tub spas. Skimmers are basically floating hot tub spa filters that skim the waters surface, which is spot you are most likely to find unwanted debris.
A hot tub ozonator isn’t a necessity to your hot tub spas but will keep your hot tub spas water a whole lot cleaner and more appealing to get into. Remember that a hot tub spa ozonator works along with your hot tub chemicals, not in place of them. Anybody that tries to tell you differently doesn’t know what they’re talking about.
The sun, rain, wind, snow and other elements can take a toll on your hot tub spa cover. A good way to protect your hot tub spas cover is to use a protectant, that you can buy at any hot tub store. These products will make your hot tub spa covers last years longer than if you didn’t use them. You should also wipe your cover down a few times a year with a mild soap.
While indoor hot tubs require routine maintenance as well, outdoor hot tub spas require this routine maintenance even more so. You should get yourself into a weekly routine of testing your hot tubs water, replacing filters, taking any necessary action needed and cleaning as well. This may sound stressful, but if you do this then your hot tub spa will be much more appealing to you and your guests!
