Cleaning your hot tub
How often should I clean my hot tub?
Different parts of your hot tub need cleaning at different times, but it all depends on how often you use the hot tub and the products you use for water care and maintenance.

- Clean any water lines using a clean damp cloth
- Check pH levels and sanitiser (chlorine or bromine), adjust accordingly
- Weekly
- Clean your filter
- Shock dose the water
- Check pH levels and sanitiser (chlorine or bromine), adjust accordingly
- Quarterly
- Clean your pipes with a pipe cleaner
- Clean the interior of your tub
- Drain and refill your hot tub
- Annually
How do I flush the pipes of my hot tub?
It is important to remove any dirt, bacteria or build up from your hot tub pipelines. You should flush the pipelines before cleaning interior of your tub. Each line flush product will have a different usage procedure which should be followed carefully. Our recommended pipe cleaners would be Jacuzzi® Hot Tub Pipe Cleaner. Jacuzzi® recommend cleaning your hot tub pipes at least once a year, usually at the beginning of the season. Your hot tub will need to be drained once you have finished.
How do I drain my hot tub?
Before you attempt to drain your hot tub it is important to remember to turn off it off at the isolator. Not doing so could cause damage and as the water drains the pump could restart thinking there is not enough water, damaging the pump motor and filter mechanism.
You should always follow the instructions that came with your hot tub. Most hot tubs have a drain valve either on the bottom of the cabinet or just inside the cabinet. You can also purchase a submersible pump to drain the water out quickly. The power should not be turned back on until it has been refilled.
How do I clean the inside of my hot tub and the jets?
Once your tub is completely drained you will need to remove any sediment, dirt or debris from its surface, using a damp cloth wipe away as much of this as possible. We recommend you use a surface cleaner with a soft cloth or tub scrubber to remove any stubborn marks without damaging your hot tub. Do not use any regular household cleaning products as they are often not pH neutral and can cause issues in water maintenance and possible damage your shell.
How do I clean the hot tub pillows?
The hot tub head rest cushion should be removed and wiped clean using water and a cloth. Take care to clean the acrylic behind it.
How to clean the hot tub cover?
- Remove any loose dirt or debris using a high-powered hose pipe
- Using a non-abrasive cloth and water wipe down
- Use an approved hot tub cover cleaner ensuring you follow the instructions on the packaging
Can I clean the outside panels of my hot tub?
Yes, of course! Ensure that you use a non-abrasive cloth and neutral detergent solution to wipe panels clean ensuring all the solution is wiped off. You should never direct a hosepipe at the panels as there are electro-mechanical parts behind them and you could cause damage.
How to refill your hot tub
Do not turn your hot tub back on until it is filled to the fill line or touching the bottom of the pillows, your replacement filters have been correctly installed and any drain valves are securely closed. To fill the hot tub, position your hose pipe in the filter housing unit. This will fill all internal pipework first to prevent any airlocks. Your Hot Tub manufacturer guide will advise you on the best way to do this for your make and model.
