Working So You Can Take a Swim

Why You Shouldn't Maintain Your Spa On Your Own

7 May 2021 by Franklin Wilson

When you have a spa on your property, spa services are something you need to ensure the usefulness and enjoyment of your spa over time. There are several areas of your spa that need attention, including its jets, motor, water, pH levels, filtration system, and more.

Even a single day of neglect can have you calling your spa services company for advice and assistance. For this reason, it's wise to invest in regular spa services so that a professional can come to your spa and maintain it for you. Here's why.

You get more out of your spa

If your spa is always out of commission because it's grown a bunch of moss or has cloudy water or because the filtration system isn't working or the jets are clogged, you're paying for a benefit you can't even use. This is your opportunity cost, and it's not worth it. It's best to invest in spa services, which vary in price depending on where you live and how often you have these services completed, to give you the best return on your investment by always being able to use your spa.

You keep your maintenance expenses down

It seems like you'd be paying more to keep your spa in good working condition if you're paying professionals to do the work, but the opposite is actually true. When you maintain your spa on your own, you have to buy the chemicals for it, take time out of your day to manage your spa, and replace lights, filters, and other things as needed. Also, if you don't maintain your spa on the regular or don't do it correctly, you'll end up spending more money than you might otherwise on replacing faulty or broken spa parts.

Spa services are ideal because they include many — if not all — of the tools and supplies needed to keep your spa in great condition without costing you more money for the service. Your fees are usually a flat rate unless something needs to be outright replaced, in which case you'll pay your spa services company for the parts and labor.

Average costs for spa services vary, but expect to pay somewhere around $55 a month or more for services. Costs are more if chemicals are used in the cleaning and maintenance process, while simple spa checks and water balancing cost less. The investment you make in your spa can help you enjoy your unit longer and keep it in beautiful condition for use.
