Owning a hot tub or a spa can bring years of relaxation and enjoyment, but proper care and maintenance are essential to ensure it remains in top condition. Here are some tips to help you get the most out of your hot tub experience:

 

 

The life expectancy of a hot tub can vary depending on factors such as quality, maintenance and usage. According to Eurospas, a hot tub can last anywhere from 5 to 20 years, or even longer with proper care.

 

Cheaper hot tubs made with lower quality materials may not last as long, especially if they are not well maintained. However, quality hot tubs that receive excellent care – including having the spare parts changed if needs be – can be enjoyed for 20 years or more, and those are the only ones that Eurospas supply.

 

 

Contrary to popular belief, it is actually cheaper to leave a hot tub running consistently rather than turning it off and on frequently. Keeping your hot tub running and the water warm at a consistent temperature consumes less energy than repeatedly heating it from cold. This helps decrease electricity bills and ensures that your hot tub is always ready for use.

 

 

If you’re planning to be away from your hot tub for just a short period, it’s best to set the temperature to a lower setting to conserve energy. A temperature of around 10°C (50°F) is suitable for maintaining the hot tub without using excessive energy while you’re away.

 

However, if you’re planning to be away for an extended period of time, such as those times that you’re out of the country, it’s undoubtedly better to switch the hot tub off altogether.

 

 

Regularly changing the water in your hot tub or spa is crucial for maintaining water quality and ensuring a hygienic soaking experience. The folks at Eurospas recommend changing the hot tub water every 3 to 4 months to prevent the buildup of bacteria, algae, and other contaminants. This helps keep your hot tub clean and your skin healthy.

 

 

By following these hot tub care and use tips, you can prolong the life of your hot tub, save on energy costs, and ensure a safe and enjoyable soaking experience. Remember to invest in quality hot tubs, maintain consistent water temperature and regularly replace the water to keep your spa in top condition for years to come.
