1. Clean your filters every week
At least every week you should take your spa filter out of your tub and rinse them thoroughly with your garden hose. And about every month you should spray them down with a spa filter degreaser or cleaner, let them sit for 15 minutes and then rinse them very well for another 20 minutes or so
2. Keep an Eye On Your Spa Chemistry
An obvious tip to most but there are some people who do not know about spa chemistry. In fact it is more important than you think. Think of your hot tub spa like your home's bathtub. And image keeping that bathtub filled all the time with the same water and everyone of your friends and family used it every day. Gross right? Well a spa is basically the same thing so it's very important to sanitize your spa a few times a week. And keeping your pH and alkalinity balanced will even help prolong the life of your spa's heater
3. The Hot Tub Cover
If you don't already have one, then get one! It will keep unwanted debris out of your spa, it will keep the heat in which will save on your electric bill and it will keep young children out and safe. And if needed you could buy a hot tub cover lifter to help you pull the cover on and off.
4. Know Your Equipment
Make sure you fully learn and understand how your spa works so that during the life of the spa you will be able to run it properly and know when something is wrong. Some spas give off warning signals if something is not correct. Be aware of these warning signals and be aware of where your main control panel is inside your spa
5. Drain, Clean And Refill Your Spa Ever 3 Months
Remember the whole bathtub analogy? Yeah that's way. And also because the chemicals can build up in your spa causing you to have high levels of TDS which can cause scaling in your pipes and heater, which in turn causes you to run your filter more to keep it heated. Bottom line, if anything is the most important, it's this one and always remember to use and enjoy your hot tub spa.
