Owning a jacuzzi is all about relaxation—but to keep it that way, regular maintenance is key. Here’s a beginner-friendly guide to keeping your spa clean, safe, and in top shape year-round.

Weekly Jacuzzi Checklist

  • Test water pH (should be between 7.2 and 7.8)

  • Check sanitizer levels (chlorine, bromine, etc.)

  • Inspect water clarity

  • Wipe down surfaces and waterline

Monthly Deep Clean

  • Clean the filter with a garden hose or filter cleaner

  • Shock the water to eliminate organic contaminants

  • Inspect jets and pumps for any irregularities

Every 3–4 Months

  • Drain and refill the tub to refresh the water

  • Clean the interior thoroughly before refilling

  • Check all seals and covers for wear or mold

Water Treatment Tips

  • Use only jacuzzi-safe chemicals

  • Avoid oils, lotions, or soaps before soaking

  • Rinse off before entering to reduce contamination

  • Consider investing in a water softener if your area has hard water

Bonus: Save on Energy

Keep your jacuzzi covered when not in use to retain heat and save energy. Choose an insulated cover, and keep the water temp lower during long periods of disuse.

Conclusion:

Proper care doesn’t take much time but pays off hugely in hygiene, performance, and enjoyment. With these simple habits, your jacuzzi can be your personal retreat for years to come.
