Tips for Preparing Your Spa for Summer

Preparing hot tubs and spas for summer doesn’t have to be a stressful process. An outdoor hot tub will always need the same basic prep work done before it will be summer-ready each year. The summer is the low point of most hot tub usage, and you will need to remember to prepare your hot tub for this season with these tips from Spa Max.

 

Check pH

Checking the pH frequently is the most important thing that you can do for any hot tubs that will be used during the summer. Heatwaves and bathers who are sweaty when they are in the spa can throw off pH much faster than usual for even the best hot tubs.

 

Set Temperature

Make sure that you don’t turn the temperature down too low. Your hot tub pH is based in part on the water temperature. You do not want to turn your tub down to a very low temperature, or your water pH might become incorrect.

Use Hot Tub Shock

Use hot tub shock after each use during the summer. Sweaty bathers, as well as sunscreen, can wreak havoc on your hot tub’s water balance and the chemical balance of your tub. Make sure to use shock after every use to keep the water clean and fresh.

Drain and Refill Tub

Use this good weather to do the maintenance like draining the tub and replacing the water as well as cleaning processes to filters and other parts that you have put off during the cold part of the year.
