With a regular maintenance schedule, you can keep your spa in top condition, ensure water cleanliness, and extend the life of your equipment. Let’s break down the ideal weekly, monthly, quarterly, and annual tasks to keep your spa experience enjoyable and stress-free.
Weekly Maintenance
1. Check Water Chemistry
– Test pH, alkalinity, and sanitizer levels. Maintaining the right balance helps prevent equipment corrosion and skin irritation. For accurate results, use a reliable water test kit like [our recommended kit 3-Way Chlorine / Bromine Test Strips – WC-TS | Easy Spa Parts
