With increased use, water care and maintenance become even more important. Keeping your hot tub clean and clear for everyone who wants to enjoy it is easy with Beachcomber’s water care systems and products. From sanitizers to balancers, we have everything for a complete care programme.
Why Winter Maintenance Matters
Without proper maintenance and water care, your hot tub could be at risk of damage. To ensure the longevity of your spa, it is important to carry out regular maintenance. This includes checking your pipes regularly, ensuring everything is sealed well and not leaking, and staying on top of the different hot tub parts and accessories.
Water care is also important. The more you use your hot tub, the more you need to test your water and ensure it is safe for use. From pH levels to sanitizer, maintaining a well balanced hot tub is important.
Key Winter Maintenance Tips
Maintaining Water Levels
A key part of water care during the winter months is ensuring your hot tub water levels remain at the correct level. This prevents damage to the pumps and heaters should there not be enough.
Effective Water Care Treatment
When your hot tub water isn’t balanced and sanitized, it can cause scaling and corrosion to your acrylic. This can affect the longevity of your hot tub and is preventable with sufficient water treatment. Luckily, Beachcomber Hot Tubs has a line of water care products that covers everything.
A great, all-in-one system is the Care Free Pack. This is a weekly water care programme that, when used together, can sanitize and condition your water. A simple and easy to use way to maintain your hot tub during winter, reducing the time you must spend in the cold.
Hot Tub Cover Maintenance
Having a functioning and high-quality hot tub cover is vital for maintaining your spa during winter. It protects the hot tub skirting and acrylic from the harsh elements and ensures the water remains clean for longer. Make sure to check your hot tub cover for damage and replace it if needed!
Manage Water Temperature
Use your EasyTouch control panel to set your temperature to ensure your water temperature stays at a comfortable level for soaking and to stop any freezing in the pipes.
Inspect Filters
Having a properly fitted and cleaned filter is essential at all times of the year. If you don’t maintain this, there can be a build-up of dirt and an increased need for water care maintenance. Avoid extra winter hot tub cleaning with a well-functioning Microfilter™.
Winterizing
While many people use their hot tub year-round, if it is in a vacation home or cabin you won’t be visiting during the winter months, it is important to prepare your spa for the winter. For some people, this means shutting it down and draining it completely. If this is what you choose to do, make sure to completely empty water from everywhere.
Our recommendation is to run the hot tub year-round. The energy efficient design means it will not cost much and will prevent any damage that might occur from freezing.
