If you own a hot tub, you know the great benefits it can afford anyone who happens to use it, you know what it cost, and now you need to know how to properly care for it. One study by the Association of Pool & Spa Professionals, found that an overwhelming 77% of hot tub and spa owners believe that cleaning and maintaining of their unit was easy.
Starter kits come with a new hot tub to get you started as soon as the water is in and heated up. These kits will contain chlorine or bromine, which come in the form of tablets or granules, a pH balancer and an anti-foam agent. These kits will allow you to get your hot tub up and running but there is more to it when keeping up with hot tub maintenance.
One part that is common in every hot tub is the filter and that should be cleaned with a hose every three to four months. It will normally just need the water from the hose, but if you find that it's not coming very clean, there are filter cleaning solutions that you can use that will take care of that for you.
As far as draining and refilling the hot tub itself, the best advice is to be sure to read any directions that come with the unit and/or talk to the dealer where you purchased the product, they will always provide important information that should be read over or followed, pertaining to the re-filling of the hot tub. Depending on the size of the hot tub and how diligent you are about keeping the chemicals balanced will also play into the time frame of when to drain and refill the tub.
Hot Tub Upgrading
Most hot tubs are built to last for a long time, so why would you want to upgrade to a newer model? There are many reasons and the first is the advances that are made each year a new model comes out in regards to the ease of operating the system.
Also know that most dealers offer a trade-in deal where they will remove your old hot tub and you don't have to worry about its disposal. It is a good way for you to feel less guilty about trading up when you don't have to be responsible for what to do with the old tub. You really can't go wrong by upgrading your hot tub every ten or so years.
