Spa & Hot Tub Care

Daily Maintenance

1. Circulate water and help keep the spa clean by running the spa pump and filter at least 8 hours per day to.
   
   
2. Maintain proper range of sanitizer levels. Chlorine levels should fall between 3‑5 mg/l (ppm). Bromine levels should fall between 3‑6 ppm.
   
   
3. Test the hot tub's PH levels and adjust so they fall between 7.2 and 7.6.
   
   
4. Used an Anti Foam if there is an abundance of foaming.

Weekly Maintenance

1. Shock your hot tub or spa with suitable oxidising agent such as Non chlorine shock or Calcium Hypochlorite to remove organic compounds and keep water clean and clear.
   
   
2. Clean the hot tub filter and swap with spare. (you should always have a spare filter as filters have to be allowed to dry first so that the fibers can bind together after cleaning).

Periodic Maintenance

1. Drain and refill spa every 60 ‑ 90 days for moderately used spas. 30 ‑ 60 days for highly used spas.
   
   
2. While spa is drained, clean spa surfaces thoroughly. Always rinse well before refilling.
   
   
3. Clean the spa or hot tub cover with a weak solution of chlorine (3‑5mg/litre)
   
   
4. Replace hot tub filters (6 months ‑ 1 year)
