What is the best way to protect our spa?

To protect your spa, consider the following tips:

1. Cover the spa when not in use. This is one of the most important steps you can take to protect your spa, as it will help keep debris out of the water, prevent evaporation, and reduce the amount of heat loss. Make sure the cover is properly secured and that there are no gaps where debris can enter.

2. Clean the spa regularly. This will help keep the water clean and prevent the buildup of bacteria. Drain and refill your spa every 3-4 months and use a spa cleaning kit to clean the surfaces regularly.

3. Check the water chemistry regularly and make adjustments as needed. This is essential to keep the water safe for bathing and to prevent damage to the spa equipment. Use a test kit to check the pH level, alkalinity, calcium hardness, and chlorine or bromine levels. Adjust the chemicals as needed to keep them within the recommended ranges.

4. Keep the spa in a well-ventilated area. This will help prevent the buildup of moisture and mold inside the spa. Make sure there is good air circulation around the spa and that the spa is not located in a confined space.

5. Service the spa regularly. This will help keep the spa in good working order and prevent problems from occurring. Have your spa serviced at least once a year by a qualified technician to ensure that the plumbing, electrical, and jets are all working properly.

6. Winterize the spa if necessary. This is important if you live in an area where freezing weather is common. Winterizing the spa involves draining the water, adding antifreeze, and covering the spa. Follow the instructions from the spa manufacturer regarding winterizing the spa.
