Seasonal Hot Tub Maintenance Guide

Spring hot tub checklist

• Drain and refill if water age is high. Fresh water makes spring startup easier and improves sanitizer response.
• Deep-clean filters and inspect cover condition. This removes off-season buildup and restores normal circulation.
• Check cabinet, unions, and pump area for leaks. Catching seepage early helps avoid costly mid-season repairs.

Summer hot tub care tips

• Rinse filters more often during heavy guest use. High bather load adds oils and debris that can restrict flow quickly.
• Wipe shell surfaces weekly to prevent buildup. Frequent wipe-downs stop residue from becoming stubborn waterline stains.
• Keep the cover clean and dry between uses. A dry cover helps limit odor and improves energy efficiency.

Fall prep checklist

• Verify heater and circulation performance. Confirming heat-up and flow before cold weather reduces winter surprises.
• Inspect cover seal and locking straps. A tight seal is critical for heat retention in cooler months.
• Inspect cabinet panels and weather seals. Closing gaps limits wind intrusion and unnecessary heat loss.

Winter care checklist

• Keep proper water level to protect circulation. Low water can trigger flow issues and reduce freeze protection reliability.
• Confirm freeze protection settings are active. Verify control settings before the coldest part of the season.
• Remove heavy snow from cover surface promptly. Lower weight and moisture help preserve cover structure and seal quality.

For cold-season water balancing targets, use the Water Care weekly and monthly routine.
