Picture this: the season of summer is beginning to come to an end, and the crisp air of autumn begins to set in. You see this as the perfect time to have a refreshing dip in your hot tub, when suddenly you realise the water is freezing and the settings are completely off. This is because you have not optimised your hot tub for the new season. As we begin to transition into our warmer seasons, we thought it would be the perfect opportunity to share how you can optimise your hot tub for each season. Let’s dive right in!
Spring is all about lukewarm temperatures and blooming flowers. First, you should start by cleaning up your hot tub to remove any winter build-up. It is important to never forget to thoroughly clean the filters. Next, you must check the water balance and adjust the pH if necessary. As the weather gets warmer, it is ideal to lower the tub’s temperature a couple of times to keep it feeling refreshed and comfortable.
Summer. The sun is beaming, the days are longer, and it is the perfect time to enjoy a hot tub soak. But first, some optimisation steps need to be taken. To keep it cool, you should lower your hot tub temperature to make it feel more refreshing on those scorching summer days. Heat can affect your water balance, so remember to keep checking the water’s pH and adjust accordingly. Hydration is key throughout the summer season, so ensure a nearby cooler is stocked with bottles of water. And last but not least, ensure your tub is as shaded as possible.
When the leaves begin to fall and the temperatures begin to drop, it is autumn. As the weather starts to cool, it is best to increase the water temperature. A hot tub cover is vital throughout the autumn season, so consider purchasing one! Due to the debris, it is best to regularly check the filters for any build-up.
The most wonderful time of the year. Your hot tub may require an adjustment to the temperature, as it may drop below zero outside. Make sure your hot tub is properly insulated and ensure that safety measures are being taken, as surfaces may be slippier than usual.
