3 Key Habits to Extend the Lifespan of Your Spa Hot Tub

I. Proper Draining and Drying

If you will be away for more than two months, please turn off the spa hot tub, drain all water, and wipe the tub body and jets with a dry cloth. Never leave residual water in the tub to soak for extended periods. After draining, keep the tub well-ventilated and dry to prevent mold and scale buildup in damp environments. If your tub is equipped with a thermal cover, leave it partially open after draining to accelerate internal air circulation.

II. Regular Filter System Cleaning

·Weekly cleaning: Remove the filter cartridge, rinse away impurities such as hair and dead skin cells with clean water, and gently brush the crevices with a soft brush if necessary.

·Monthly inspection: Check the condition of the filter cartridge. If it appears yellowed or severely clogged, replace it in advance.

·Quarterly replacement: Install a new filter cartridge and clean the circulation pipes at the same time to avoid secondary pollution caused by accumulated debris.

III. Gentle Cleaning and Protection

Most spa Hot Tubs are made of acrylic material, so strong acid or alkaline cleaners are strictly prohibited—these chemicals will corrode the surface coating, leading to cracking and discoloration.

·Daily cleaning: Use a neutral body wash or specialized bathroom cleaner to wipe the tub body and jets with a soft cloth.

·Avoid scratches: Do not use abrasive tools such as steel wool or scouring pads, and prevent sharp objects (e.g., jewelry, metal parts of bath brushes) from scratching the surface;

·Jet maintenance: Regularly clear the jet nozzles with a needle or fine brush to remove scale clogs and ensure effective hydro-massage flow.

These seemingly trivial habits can effectively reduce the risk of equipment malfunctions while safeguarding spa hygiene, keeping your spa hot tub operating reliably and delivering a high-quality wellness experience consistently.
