Blocked Drains York

As a hot tub owner in York, it's essential to maintain your spa's cleanliness and hygiene to ensure a safe and enjoyable soaking experience. After draining your hot tub, it's crucial to clean it thoroughly before refilling it with fresh water. In this article, we'll guide you through the process of cleaning your hot tub after draining, covering essential steps and tips to keep your spa in top condition.

Once you've drained your hot tub, inspect the tub and surrounding areas for any debris, dirt, or leaves that may have accumulated. Use a soft-bristled brush or a scrubber to remove any stubborn dirt or stains from the tub's surfaces.

Use a mild detergent and warm water to clean the hot tub shell. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or scrubbers, as they can damage the tub's surface. Rinse the shell thoroughly with clean water to remove any soap residue.

To sanitise your hot tub, you'll need to shock the water. Shocking the water involves adding a high dose of sanitiser, such as chlorine or bromine, to oxidise any built-up contaminants. Follow the manufacturer's instructions for the recommended dosage and application.

Before refilling your hot tub, it's essential to balance the pH level of the water. The ideal pH range for hot tubs is between 7.2 and 7.8. Use a pH test kit to determine the current pH level and adjust it accordingly. You can use pH increasers or decreasers to achieve the desired level.

Once you've cleaned and sanitised your hot tub, refill it with fresh water. Add the recommended dose of sanitiser, such as chlorine or bromine, to maintain a safe and healthy environment.

To keep your hot tub clean and hygienic, follow these tips:

• Regularly test the water's pH and sanitiser levels to ensure they're within the recommended ranges.
• Clean the hot tub filter regularly to prevent clogging and maintain water flow.
• Use a hot tub cover to prevent debris and dirt from entering the tub when not in use.
• Consider using a hot tub cleaning product to help maintain the tub's cleanliness and hygiene.
  By following these steps and tips, you'll be able to keep your hot tub clean and hygienic, ensuring a safe and enjoyable soaking experience for years to come.
