How often should I clean and drain my hot tub?

The frequency with which you should clean and drain your hot tub depends on several factors, including usage, water quality, and the type of sanitizer you are using. Generally, it is advisable to drain and refill your hot tub every three to four months. However, if you use your hot tub frequently or host gatherings with multiple users, you may need to drain it more often, perhaps every month or two. In addition to draining and refilling, regular maintenance is essential for keeping your hot tub clean and safe. You should clean the filters every few weeks, depending on usage, and use a spa filter cleaner to remove any buildup. It is also wise to check the water chemistry weekly, ensuring that the pH and sanitizer levels are within the recommended ranges. Regularly shocking the water will help maintain its clarity and prevent bacteria growth.
