Hot tubs and spas make for a relaxing night during the fall and winter, but what happens when the hot summer nights come along? Hot tubs can be just as soothing in the summer as they have been throughout the winter. Keep your hot tub running efficiently and effectively with a few tips for making the most out of your hot tub this summer.
Whether you used your hot tub frequently during the winter or not, now is a good time to drain and clean it to prepare for the fun you and your family will have this summer. After draining the water, give your hot tub a thorough cleaning. While the hot tub is drained you or your technician will be able to check the valves, jets, pumps and pipes for any dirt buildup, cracks or leaks.
Regardless if you decide to drain your hot tub or not it is also essential to have the chemical balance of your water checked. This should be done often during the summer, especially with frequent use.
With the temperatures rising, it is important to cool down the water in your hot tub. Temperatures should be around 95 degrees or lower. Cooling the water down can be accomplished by turning the heater down or turning it completely off. The cooler water can be just as relaxing and refreshing on a hot summer night as the hot water was during the winter.
It is also important to keep your hot tub out of direct sunlight during the summer months to protect it and to keep water from evaporating. A good spa cover can help solve this problem.
