Time To Tune Your Hot Tubs Up
Do a quick assessment for any problems. Look around for leaks and parts that aren’t working well. Catching problems early will mean lower repair costs and less aggravation. Make a list of anything that raises an eyebrow, and consider calling your dealer’s service department to come check it out.
You may already perform daily and weekly maintenance methods such as sanitizing your water and watching pH levels, but how clean is the water flowing into your tub? Without getting inside the jets and inner plumbing of the hot tub, you won’t know. The inner tubes and systems can be lined with dirt and mineral deposits. Flushing the system cleans the parts of your spa you can’t see, ensuring good water quality before you even fill the tub. Don’t forget to drain and re-fill the tub too. Consulting a quality hot tub repair man in Phoenix will eliminate headaches.
Spa covers take a lot of pressure from the elements. It is possible for covers to crack under the relentless heat of the sun, and rain and snow can cause damage. Make sure to spray the cover with ultraviolet protectant and be sure that you have the adequate spa cover for your climate. Sagging can cause water pooling, and if you have these little puddles on your cover try flipping it. This may correct the problem in the short-term, but consider getting a stronger cover or one of a stronger substance.
Taking care of your spa protects the investment you’ve made in your hot tub. Making sure that your hot tub is well-maintained needn’t be a arduous process. Taking the time to do a little maintenance now will keep your spa working as it should, and can avoid costly repairs in the future. Try a fall hot tub tune-up, and your spa will be well enough to enjoy soaking for days to come.
It is important to maintain the proper balance of both pH and Alkalinity levels in your water before adjusting sanitizer levels. Although pH and Alkalinity are two separate factors in water chemistry (that should never be confused), Thermo Spas makes it easy to adjust both with these two revolutionary products. Hot Tub Repair is best done by certified techs.
The acceptable Alkalinity level must range between 80-150 ppm (parts per million). Alkalinity is a measure of the water’s ability to neutralize acid and keep the pH within the proper range. Improper levels of Alkalinity can cause calcium deposits or scale to form on the spa and its equipment. Also, if the Total Alkalinity is too high or too low, it will be difficult to maintain the pH with the desired range. Measure and adjust the Alkalinity level first, before attempting to fine-tune the pH level of the water.
The acceptable pH level must range between 7.2 and 7.8. Improper levels of pH not only cause skin and eye irritation, but can also oxidize the metal components in your spa’s equipment and erode your hot tub’s plumbing. The main advantage to these remarkable products is that the pH level will generally follow the Alkalinity level. Therefore, only a small amount is needed to adjust the pH, once the proper Alkalinity level has been achieved.
