Routine hot tub maintenance with proper water treatment significantly delays the buildup of biofilm, calcium deposits, and bacteria within the plumbing and on the surfaces of your hot tub. However, even with the most diligent care, contaminants can gradually accumulate in hidden areas—such as pipes and jets—where they form stubborn biofilm layers that are resistant to standard cleaning methods.
Why a Professional Hot Tub Purge is Essential
Over time, these hidden buildups can compromise water quality, sanitation, and the performance of your hot tub. Eventually, a professional hot tub purge and deep clean becomes necessary to restore your spa to optimal condition.
The purge process effectively eliminates:
• Biofilm buildup
• Calcium and mineral deposits
• Harmful bacteria hidden in plumbing
This process uses specially designed and formulated purge products that circulate through the internal plumbing system. These cleaners break down biofilm and flush out debris, leaving your hot tub clean, safe, and healthy.
Preventing Mold in Your Hot Tub Cover
Another common issue is mold growth on the underside of the hot tub cover. The warm, moist environment trapped under the cover provides the perfect breeding ground for mold and mildew. This not only causes unpleasant odors but can also negatively affect your water quality.
To prevent and treat hot tub cover mold:
• Clean Regularly: Use products specifically formulated to fight mold and mildew.
• Allow to Dry: Always let the cover dry completely before placing it back on the hot tub.
• Use a Protectant: Apply a UV- and mildew-resistant vinyl protectant to the exterior surface.
• Inspect the Underside: Clean the underside with an anti-microbial cleaner on a regular basis.
Keep Your Hot Tub Clean, Comfortable, and Long-Lasting
