Setting Up a Schedule for Regular Maintenance
After your tub is set up and ready to go, you will want to think about creating a regular maintenance schedule. Regular maintenance will make your hot tub experience more enjoyable and will also add years to the life of your hot tub. The schedule below includes a generally recommended cadence. Please note that specific needs may vary based on the usage of the tub. For additional questions, please be sure to reach out to your local dealer.
| Weekly | Every 4-6 weeks | Every 3-4 Months | Every 6 Months |
|---|---|---|---|
| Test Water (2-3 times a week) | Chemically Clean Filter | Replace Water | Clean and Condition Cover Exterior (Also do as needed) |
| Shock Water | |||
| Rinse Off Filter |
PRO TIP: To prolong the life of your cover, it is a best practice to leave your cover off for 30 minutes after adding chemicals to your hot tub!
