How Often Should You Change The Water In Your Hot Tub?

How Often Should You Change The Water In Your Hot Tub?

Owning a hot tub comes with some important maintenance requirements in order to keep it running in good condition for as long as possible. One of the most important maintenance requirements is changing the water in your tub at the right time in order to avoid damage to key systems and a build-up of chemicals. Proper water care is essential to enjoying your hot tub for years to come!

As a general rule, it’s a good idea to drain your hot tub at least once every 3-4 months. Any less frequently and you may have difficulty maintaining your water chemistry at the appropriate levels. Some hot tub owners will end up spending lots of extra money and time fighting with their hot tubs because they neglect to have a proper draining routine.

Adding chemicals to spa water is a necessity, but will eventually cause particle build-up and cloudiness in the water. This can be monitored using a PPM indicator or a test strip. The key to crystal clear water is using fresh water to fill your tub, then using the right sanitizer in the proper amount along with an oxidizing shock treatment. If these chemical levels are not maintained, you will experience water quality issues and the most common issue is cloudiness which will accumulate over a few months. If you fill your spa with fresh water and it becomes cloudy in just a couple of weeks, something is wrong.

Troubleshooting

If you are encountering problems with your spa, don’t despair! There are many options available for sanitizing your hot tub and no single sanitizer will be perfect for every situation. Try out a few different ones to see which one works best for your setup. Be sure to stay on top of your cleaning schedule as most problems occur when cleaning and draining isn’t performed on time. While this process can be a pain, it will be less of a pain in the long run by preventing complications and problems with your spa. It will also keep your spa in good condition for longer by preventing premature rusting or damage to the inner workings.

Another common cause of water problems in a spa is the filter. Be sure to pull it out once a month and use specially designed filter cleaning products to make sure you get is as clean as possible every time. It is often a good practice to purchase a second filter so that you can easily swap them out when one gets dirty. That way you can clean the filter when you have time and keep it in storage, making the switch much easier when it comes time.

Usage and Frequency of Draining

It is important to realize that the more often you use your spa – and the more people in it at each use – will have a large impact on how often it will need chemicals added and thus how often it will need to be drained and cleaned. If you use the spa 2 or 3 times a week, you should be safe with draining it approximately every 4 months. But if you use your spa almost daily and have more people in it each time, you will need to do drain it whenever it gets significantly cloudy which may occur more frequently. Keeping your spa covers on, when the spa is not in use will also help reduce the rate of draining the spa.
