Hot Tubs at Home

Spa Care Guide

Everything you need to know about caring for your spa

Filter Maintenance

Replace your Microban filter cartridge every six months, or sooner as needed. The cartridge is designed for single use only; attempting to reuse it risks releasing unwanted particles back into the spa.

Water Replacement

Change your hot tub water every 3 to 6 months depending on how often it is used, the number of bathers and how well the water chemistry is maintained. You will know it is time when the water loses its normal feel and sparkle despite balanced chemistry.

Headrest and Pillow Care

Interior Shell

Your fibreglass-reinforced acrylic shell resists dirt and stains. Clean with a soft damp cloth using household soap or liquid detergent, then rinse thoroughly. Avoid abrasive or solvent-based cleaners, harsh chemicals, and leaving the spa drained in direct sunlight for extended periods, which can damage the acrylic.

Cabinet Care

Never use high-pressure washers or garden hoses on cabinets, as this risks electrical shorts.

Vinyl Cabinets

Wipe with a soft damp cloth using mild soap and rinse thoroughly. Avoid abrasive cleansers.

Stainless Steel

Clean with a soft damp cloth and mild soap, or use a stainless steel appliance cleaner. Do not use abrasive materials.

Cover Maintenance

Clean and condition your cover at least monthly to prevent the vinyl from drying out and becoming brittle.

Key requirements:

Cleaning process: Rinse with water, scrub gently with a soft brush and a mild dishwashing solution (1 teaspoon of detergent per 9 litres of water), rinse thoroughly, then apply a vinyl conditioner. For tree sap, use lighter fluid sparingly, then apply conditioner immediately.
