It's recommended to test your hot tub water at least 2-3 times a week to ensure proper chemical balance and to adjust as needed.

Remove the filter and rinse it with a garden hose to remove debris. Soak it in a filter cleaner solution overnight and rinse thoroughly before reinstalling. Replace the filter every 12-24 months.

It's recommended to drain and refill your hot tub every 3-4 months to maintain water quality and prevent buildup of chemicals and contaminants.

To winterise, drain all water from the tub and plumbing lines, remove and clean filters, add antifreeze to the plumbing lines, and cover the hot tub securely. Consult your hot tub's manual for specific instructions.

The ideal hot tub temperature is typically between 37°C and 40°C. Always follow manufacturer recommendations and consider health guidelines.

If the jets are weak or not working, check for blockages, clean the filter, and ensure the water level is adequate. Airlocks in the plumbing can also cause issues, which can often be resolved by priming the pump.

Biofilm is a buildup of bacteria in the plumbing lines. Use a biofilm cleaner and flush the system regularly. Keeping sanitiser levels consistent can also help prevent biofilm formation.

While some products are designed for use in hot tubs, most essential oils can cause buildup and affect water chemistry. Use only products specifically labelled as hot tub safe.

Stains can be caused by metals or organic contaminants. Use a metal sequestrant or stain remover designed for hot tubs, and maintain proper water chemistry to prevent future staining.

Use a high-quality, insulated cover to retain heat, maintain proper water levels, and keep the temperature at a consistent level. Regular maintenance of the heater and pump also ensures efficient operation. Additionally, fitting an air source heat pump can significantly reduce energy consumption and costs. Air source heat pumps have become very popular due to their efficiency and eco-friendliness.

Clean the cover with a mild soap and water solution. Rinse thoroughly and allow it to dry before replacing it. Use a UV protectant spray to extend the life of the cover.

If the breaker trips, reset it and check for obvious issues like water level and filter cleanliness. Persistent issues may require professional inspection to ensure there are no electrical faults.

It’s not recommended to leave your hot tub empty for extended periods as this can damage the components. If necessary, properly winterise it or ensure it’s covered and occasionally checked.
