Keeping Your Pool Gorgeous

After we purchased a home with a swimming pool, we figured that we would be spending our summers lounging in our cool, backyard oasis. However, after trying for a few weeks to keep it clean and sanitary, we realized that pool ownership was more difficult than we originally anticipated. We found ourselves struggling to keep bugs out of the space and trying to troubleshoot problematic filters. Fortunately, through a long period of trial and error, we were able to solve several of our issues. This blog is made especially for people who own pools, so that you can learn how to keep your pool gorgeous and healthy.

Spa Services To Keep Your Hot Tub Going Through Winter And Be Ready For Summer

There is maintenance that needs to be done for the upkeep of your hot tub. If you use it during the winter and summer months, then there is going to be other upkeep that needs to be done during different seasons. The following spa services will help you with the maintenance and repairs your hot tub is going to need throughout the year:

Dealing With Spa Water Treatment and Changing It

The water in the hot tub needs to be treated regularly, just like a pool. Therefore, there is some upkeep that needs to be done for the water in your spa, including:

  • Testing the PH balance and water quality
  • Adding treatments to keep the water clean
  • Partially changing the water to reduce chemicals

Routine checks of the water quality will help ensure the spa stays clean all year. This will reduce the costs of treatments and refilling the hot tub.

Routine Inspections to Prevent Winter Hot Tub Damage

The spa is going to need to be inspected regularly and more if you use it all year. This should be thorough maintenance and inspection of all your hot tub equipment. Some of the problems you will want to look for when inspecting the spa include:

  • Water loss due to faulty cover seals and evaporation
  • Issues with plumbing leaks due to damaged skirt insulation
  • Damage to equipment due to wear and winter weather

You will want to repair these issues before the summer season to prevent them from getting worse.

Getting Repairs Done When Hot Tub Equipment Fails

There are also repairs that a spa is going to need over time. The issues with repairs that may need to be done to your hot tub before summer include:

  • Replacing worn seals for the cover
  • Replacing damaged exterior finishes
  • Repairing motors and heaters
  • Replacing damaged drains and jet outlets

These repairs need to be done to the hot tub before summer. This ensures you are ready for the warmer weather and pool maintenance.

Preparations That Need to Be Done When the Seasons Change

As the seasons change, different maintenance may need to be done to the hot tub. During the winter months, you want to make sure the tub is covered and that its equipment is protected from the cold winter air. During the summer months, make sure to do treatments regularly and keep the spa covered to prevent water loss due to evaporation.

The problems with your hot tub can be prevented with proper maintenance throughout the year. Contact a spa service for help with the care your hot tub needs this winter and summer.
