Just as schedules and routines can be good to implement in your life, the same goes for the life of your spa and hot tub. We have outlined step-by-step when and what you should be doing for your spa throughout the days, weeks, and months of the year.
Frequency Maintenance Task
Each Use Before Use: Check spa water with a test strip for sanitation levels and adjust accordingly After Use: Add 1 tbsp. of non-chlorine shock (e.g. Spa Shock) per person
Once a Week
  1. Add 2 tbsp. of chlorine (e.g. Chlor-Aid) to spa per 250 gallons.
  2. Remove filters & hose them off with plain water. Run your finger through the pleats to remove any debris
  3. Test water using chemical test strip . Adjust alkalinity, pH and sanitizer accordingly
As Needed:
  1. If water looks hazy, treat with 1 tbsp. of chlorine (e.g. Chlor-Aid)
Every 90 Days:
  1. Soak your filter elements overnight in a container with cartridge cleaner and then rinse with clean water before re-inserting. (Note: Eco Pur mineral element should never be cleaned in a filter cleaner. Just rinse with water.)
Every 180 Days:
  1. Drain and refill your spa.
  2. Replace with a new Eco Pur element, and repeat the start up procedure

A few more tips to note…

  • Every time you change the water, clean the underside of your cover with clean water
  • Always keep the vinyl spa cover clean and treat it with a cover treatment every 2-3 months.
  • Always leave your cover open for at least 10 minutes after adding Chlorine to the spa water.
