Caring for the water in your tub or Jacuzzi® may seem like a daunting task, but if you follow a few simple guidelines you can enjoy a well maintained tub without retaking your high school chemistry class.
Daily/Weekly Maintenance:
Inspect the tub (cover included) for signs of damage
Clean the water line and skimmer basket
Test your chemical
Regulate the pH level

Regulate the Total Alkalinity (TA) level
Monthly Maintenance:

It is also important to drain the water in your hot tub periodically as oils, grease and other organic wastes begin to build up. How often you should drain the water depends how much you use your tub. We recommend you change the water every 2 to 3 months. For more information give us a call.
