Keeping Your Hot Tub in Good Condition


When you come home from a long day at work, or a particularly strenuous day at school, all you want to do is probably to relax and worry about nothing at all. A good, long bath can do the trick-but nothing can help a person unwind like a hot tub can. There are many reasons why we constantly flock to spas and salons which offer spa services. They are warm, bubbling, and can even be a fun outing option with friends; slipping into one make it seem like we are dissolving our worries off into the water. The increasing popularity of having hot tubs at home is great news for aficionados of the device everywhere. Now, instead of driving miles, waiting in line, and awkwardly sharing the pool with strangers, we are able to install one at home and enjoy it with ease and comfort.

However, this ease does not come without certain burdens. Having our own hot tub at home means that we would need to take measures to maintain it in a good condition. Getting one can be quite an investment-standard, good models usually run around $5,000-and proper care would ensure that the tub would last longer and work better.

The best way to keep our spa working properly is by regularly cleaning it. One thing to remember is not to overdo it; use a soft, non-abrasive cleaner, and remove dirt with a scrubber or rag. Used in small quantities, baking soda can be a great remedy for build-ups of dirt or soap which are harder to clean. Finish up your cleaning routine with a coat of sheen to keep your spa looking tip-top. Most hot tubs would have a vinyl cover on them, and this too must be cared for regularly.

Wash with water, scrub with a sponge dipped in a mild soap before rinsing. This would help prevent the accumulation of dirt which would be harder to clean. Periodically draining the tub's water also helps prevent the building up of residual soaps or dirt.

Once you have cleaned the outer shell of your spa, it is time to get into the nooks and crannies. Spa filters are used to make sure that the water in the tub stays clean and clear. They also need to be cleaned regularly, as they can become clogged. Once a month, hose down the filter and thoroughly clean the filter. There are certain products in the market which can help clean such filters. With proper maintenance, you will be able to get the most out of your hot tub.
