It’s not!
Like your car, your hot tub needs regular maintenance to keep it in top shape. But it’s not a tough job. Your dealer has all the products and tips you need to make maintaining your Arctic or Coyote spa simple and easy.
Water Maintenance:
Once a week, using test strips or a test kit, check the sanitizer level and pH level in your spa. That takes about 2 minutes. Then make any adjustments required. If the pH is low add pH increaser; if the pH is high add pH decreaser. If the sanitizer (chlorine or bromine) level is low add more and if it is high open the cover and let some of it burn off. Simple?
Once a month bring in a bottle of your spa water to test for other factors. Any dealer should be able to help and explain to you what needs to be added after their test.
Every three months (on average; sooner with heavy bather loads), run some Arctic Pure Fresh Start through your spa, then drain and refill following the instructions in your Owner’s Manual.
Cabinet Maintenance:
Once a month, wipe down the cabinet with Arctic Pure Cover and Cabinet Renew. Once or twice a year, restrain the cabinet (search the FAQ for ‘stain’ to get details).
Cover Maintenance:
About once a month, more or less, clean the cover using warm soapy water and Cover and Cabinet Renew. Search the FAQ for ‘cover’ for more details.
Shell Maintenance:
Whenever you add chemicals, be sure to wipe up any spills; it’s important not to leave chemicals in direct contact with the shell, as they may damage the acrylic, and such damage is not covered by warranty.
At every water change, wipe out the shell with Arctic Pure Reflection to keep it sparkling.
Internal Maintenance:
Not really necessary. Still, some owners like to check “under the hood”, and Total Access makes it easy. Once a year, you might take a flashlight and give everything a quick once-over. Also, many dealers offer an annual 21 point inspection service.
