Collection: Hot Tub Maintenance & Care

Keep your hot tub performing at its best with our comprehensive hot tub maintenance guides, products, and expert resources. Regular spa maintenance is the single most important factor in protecting your investment, extending equipment lifespan, and ensuring safe, crystal-clear water every time you soak.

Neglecting maintenance leads to algae growth, cloudy water, scale build-up, and costly repairs to jets, pumps, and heaters. Our Hot Tub Maintenance & Care collection is designed to give every UK spa owner — from first-time buyers to experienced hot tub enthusiasts — everything they need to maintain their spa with confidence.

What Hot Tub Maintenance Covers

• Water chemistry & chemical balancing – Maintaining the correct pH (7.2–7.6), alkalinity (80–120 ppm), and sanitiser levels using chlorine, bromine, or non-chlorine alternatives.
• Filter cleaning & replacement – Rinse filters weekly, deep-clean monthly with a filter cleaner spray, and replace every 12–18 months for optimal flow and water clarity.
• Shock treatments – Weekly non-chlorine shock or chlorine shock after heavy use removes contaminants and keeps water sparkling.
• Cover care – Clean and condition your thermal cover regularly to prevent cracking, waterlogging, and UV damage. A well-maintained cover saves significant energy costs.
• Drain & refill schedule – Fully drain and refill your hot tub every 3–4 months to remove total dissolved solids (TDS) that accumulate over time.
• Jet and surface cleaning – Use spa surface cleaner to remove waterline scum and keep jets clear of calcium deposits.
