Hot Tub Checklist: Monthly Maintenance

This maintenance is done monthly and is essential to keep your hot tub running smoothly, avoid murky hot tub water and keep the hot tub healthy for bathers.

Monthly Maintenance

Every month, you will need to do a slightly more intense cleaning. You can synchronize your monthly check with your daily and weekly checks to save time. In addition to the daily and weekly tasks you should:

Rinse your filter with specialized filter cleaning chemicals. Not every rinse needs to be with chemicals, but doing it once a month will clear out any dirt or grime that is really stuck in the filter.
Inspect your hot tub jets. Assuming you use your hot tub regularly, you would probably notice if a jet wasn’t working correctly. Still, take this opportunity once a month to deliberately check each jet to make sure it is working and there is no external damage like cracks or loose parts.
Bring your water to a pool store for professional testing. This takes a little extra time and planning since you actually have to go somewhere. Professionals can do a much more detailed, thorough, and precise check of your water and its chemical levels.
