Inside A Weekly Hot Tub Clean

 
One of the many services that we offer here at Take Wellness is the Weekly Hot Tub Clean. Which is one of the best ways to guarantee a sparkling Hot tub ready for action when you need it. Here’s a step-by-step look at what we do—and why it matters:
1. Cover Inspection & Removal
  • Visual check: We examine the cover for holes, scrapes, or wear—these can raise repair costs and compromise heat retention. Remember, a well-maintained cover typically lasts around six years.
  • Inspect the Cover Lifter: Check the hydraulic arms and hinges for any rust or damage, that it is still fully functioning and make sure any foam stoppers are in place.
2. Water Quality & Level Check
  • Clarity check: We are looking for clear, blue water which signals a good healthy balance.
  • Level inspection: Levels slightly low? This could be from evaporation (especially in heat), general use, or though rare it could also be a leak

  • Refill with hose: We refill the tub to the correct level while continuing on with the checks and maintenance.
3. Filter Maintenance
  • Switch to maintenance mode: After powering down and switching the tub to maintenance. We open the compartment, take out the filter.
  • Soak: Rinse off debris, then we spray with filter cleaner and leave it for about 10 minutesThen rinse thoroughly to ensure no cleaner remains—residual chemicals can harm the water.
  •  Reinstall: Carefully return the filter, even pressure on both sides, then replace the housing and release the air pressure.
4. Sanitiser & Water Chemistry
  • Tablet dosing: Adding two sanitiser tablets to the Brominator, setting to the small-triangle setting for ultra-slow release over the week. This prevents chlorine spikes and should be the ideal release for regular domestic use.

  • Dip-tester strip: Check key levels—chlorine, pH and alkalinity —and tweak if necessary.

  • Shock/granules: If chlorine reads very low, add granules to give it a boost.

5. Jets, Lights & Foam Control
  • Run jets & lights: Turning everything on to visually check all functions are operational and even out circulation.

  • Foam control: Adding foam eliminator if excessive bubbles appear, letting the jets work it through until it reduces.

  • Jet-check: Test diverter jets; they should turn easily under pressure—not be stiff or stuck.

6. Visual Cleaning & Debris Removal
  • Surface clean: Wipe down the hot tub shell, remove debris and residue around the edges.

  • Level double-check: Make final adjustments to water level before powering down again.

7. Final Checks & Re-secure
  • Close lid: Clip storm straps back in place and give the cover a final wipe down to keep it fresh and prolong its life.
8. Service Record via App
  • We finish by logging everything in Service Mate—our service-management app.

    • Records of any issues or repairs
