September Hot Tub Maintenance & Service

Hello TubTec Northwest customers!

As the days get shorter and the air gets crisp, it's the perfect time to ensure your hot tub is ready for a season of warm, relaxing soaks. Proper maintenance now will help your hot tub run efficiently and avoid costly issues down the road.

Maintenance Checklist

Here are a few key tasks to check off this month:

  • Inspect Your Hot Tub Cover: Your cover is your hot tub's first line of defense against heat loss and debris. Check it for any rips, tears, or signs of wear. A damaged or waterlogged cover can significantly increase your energy bill. Cleaning the cover with a mild soap and water solution also helps prevent mildew.

  • Clean or Replace Your Filters: Filters are crucial for keeping your water clean and your system running smoothly. Clogged filters make your pump work harder. It’s also a good time to inspect them for damage and consider replacing them if they're showing signs of wear.

  • Drain & Refill: If you haven't done a full drain and refill in a while, September is an ideal time. The weather is still mild enough to make the job quick and easy, and you'll have a fresh start for the cooler months. Remember to use a plumbing cleaner before draining to clear out any built-up residue in the pipes.

  • Check for Leaks: A small leak can become a major problem when temperatures drop and water freezes. Take a moment to inspect your hot tub's cabinet for any damp spots or puddles. Catching a minor drip now can save you from a major repair bill later.

  • Keep Water Levels Consistent: As the air becomes drier, water can evaporate more quickly. Make sure the water level stays above the jets to prevent damage to your pump and ensure proper circulation.
