Working So You Can Take a Swim

Essential Work Your Spa Will Require

6 July 2022 by Franklin Wilson

Owning a hot tub or spa can provide you with a convenient place to relax. However, you may not find the work involved with maintaining and repairing these systems to be very relaxing. Rather, there are spa services that can handle this work for you so that you can focus less of your time and energy on the routine care that your hot tub or spa will require.

Flushing The Pumping System For The Hot Tub

To keep the water clean, your hot tub and spa system will have a powerful pump that can circulate water throughout the system. Over time, the hot tub pump can become filled with debris that will negatively impact its performance. To combat this problem, a homeowner will need to have the pump thoroughly flushed to remove the dirt, leaves, and other debris that has become trapped in it. Failing to have the pump flushed will contribute to the system developing extensive clogs that will hinder its ability to function.

Deep Cleaning Of The Hot Tub System

A hot tub system will have to be thoroughly cleaned at regular intervals to keep it sanitary. As part of this process, the hot tub may need to be fully drained. This will allow for the system to undergo a deep cleaning that can involve thoroughly scrubbing and sanitizing the small spaces around the water jets and other areas that would be very difficult to clean if the hot tub still had water in it. Unfortunately, homeowners may not have this type of deep cleaning done to their hot tub on a frequent enough basis due to the work that it will require. Yet, a person can avoid the vast majority of this work by hiring a spa service provider to oversee this cleaning as they can quickly drain the hot tub and refill it so that the total amount of time involved with the cleaning work will be kept short.

Replacing Faulty Heating Elements

Issues with the heating elements are a common problem for hot tub systems. Fortunately, these units will typically utilize numerous heating elements to rapidly warm the water, which can allow them to continue working even when one or two of the heating elements may have failed. During a thorough servicing, the heating elements will be inspected and tested to verify that they are still working correctly. If it is discovered that one or more of the heating elements is failing, they can be relatively inexpensive to replace.
