The Essential Guide to

Opening Your Spa/Hot Tub for the Season

In This Post We Explore:

As the warmer months approach, it’s time to think about opening your spa or hot tub for the season.

Whether you’re a seasoned spa owner or new to the hot tub world, understanding the right way to open your spa can ensure it’s ready for those relaxing moments.

While we at Harbor Hot Tubs & Saunas are always here to assist you, we believe in empowering our customers with knowledge.

In this guide, we’ll walk you through the basic steps we use in our professional spa opening service.

1. Thorough Cleaning:

The first step in opening your spa is giving it a good clean. We use a fast-acting surface cleaner that’s tough on water lines and grease build-up, yet gentle on your tub’s surface. This ensures any residue from the previous season is thoroughly removed.

2. Rinse, Vacuum, and Wipe:

After applying the cleaner, we meticulously rinse the tub to ensure no cleaning agent remains. We then vacuum out the tub to remove any debris or dirt that might have settled. Finally, the entire tub is wiped down with a towel for a spotless finish.

3. Protecting the Shell:

To keep your spa looking new, we wax the shell from the waterline to the lip. This not only adds a shine to your tub but also protects the acrylic finish from chemical degradation and UV ray fading – a crucial step for maintaining the longevity of your spa.

4. Filter Cartridge Maintenance:

A clean filter is vital for a healthy spa environment. We treat the filter cartridge with a spray-on formula that effectively removes oil, grease, calcium, and scale. This ensures your filter works efficiently, keeping your water clear and safe.

5. System Check:

Before we declare your hot tub open for enjoyment, we conduct a thorough check of its operations. This includes ensuring the heater, pumps, blower, and controls are functioning correctly. It’s important that all aspects of your spa are in working order for a seamless and enjoyable experience.

6. Water Treatment:

Finally, we shock the water with a special chemical designed to disinfect and eliminate any bacteria. This step is crucial for sanitizing your spa, making it safe and ready for use.
