Moving your hot tub to a new location can be an exciting adventure, but it’s important to ensure that your hot tub is properly maintained after the move to keep it in optimal condition. At Utah Tub and Spa Movers, we understand the significance of post-move hot tub maintenance, and in this guide, we’ll provide you with essential tips and information on what to know to ensure your hot tub remains in excellent shape.
1. Allow Time for Stabilization
After a hot tub move, it’s crucial to allow some time for the tub to stabilize. This means letting it sit in its new location without use for at least 24 hours. This period allows the hot tub to settle, and any air pockets that may have formed during the move to escape.
2. Reconnect Utilities
Ensure that the hot tub’s utilities, including electricity and plumbing, are properly reconnected by a qualified professional. This step is essential to ensure the hot tub functions correctly.
3. Check for Leaks
Inspect the hot tub for any signs of leaks. Pay close attention to the plumbing connections and the hot tub’s shell. If you notice any leaks, address them promptly to prevent water damage.
4. Balance the Water Chemistry
After a move, it’s common for the hot tub’s water chemistry to become unbalanced. Test the water and adjust the chemical levels as needed to maintain proper pH, alkalinity, and sanitizer levels.
5. Clean the Filter
Cleaning the hot tub’s filter is essential for maintaining water clarity and circulation. Remove the filter and rinse it thoroughly. If the filter is old or damaged, consider replacing it.
6. Inspect the Cover
Check the hot tub cover for any damage or wear and tear that may have occurred during the move. Ensure that the cover is clean and in good condition to provide proper insulation.
7. Run a Test Cycle
Before inviting guests to enjoy the hot tub, run a test cycle to ensure that all components are functioning correctly. Test the jets, lights, and other features to verify that they are in working order.
8. Regular Maintenance Routine
Resume your regular hot tub maintenance routine, including cleaning the shell, skimming debris from the water, and adding chemicals as needed. Consistent maintenance will keep the hot tub in top condition.
9. Consider a Professional Inspection
If you’re uncertain about any aspect of post-move hot tub maintenance, consider scheduling a professional inspection. An experienced technician can thoroughly assess the hot tub and address any issues.
10. Record Keeping
Keep records of the hot tub’s maintenance, including dates of water chemistry adjustments, filter cleanings, and any repairs or inspections. These records can help you track the hot tub’s condition and performance.
