The Best Way to Clean and Maintain Your Hot Tub

October 28, 2022

Clean Your Hot Tub Like a Pro

As you’ve probably learned, a large part of maintaining your hot tub is properly and consistently cleaning it. There are 3 main areas that you’ll want to make sure to clean in your hot tub: the water, the filter, and the hot tub itself. Balancing the water means measuring levels of Chlorine and Bromine, pH levels, calcium hardness, and total alkalinity. The correct balance eliminates contaminants in the water, leaving it clean and clear for you and others to enjoy. Visit our hot tub maintenance page to learn more about balancing your hot tub water, as it’s a major part of keeping the water clean.


Cleaning the hot tub filter is fairly simple to do. The filter removes dirt and debris from the water, so cleaning the filter regularly will extend the life of the filter and allow it to operate at its full capacity. Visualize this: You’re in your backyard in Greenville and you’re soaking in your hot tub for an extended period of time. Do you want that water to have dirt and grime in it? Definitely not! The same goes for the hot tub itself. Common practice of cleaning a hot tub means you’ll drain it every couple of months and wipe down the inside surfaces. Bacteria can start to grow if these areas aren’t cleaned for periods of time, and you don’t want to be sitting in your hot tub with the likes of mildew and moss!
