• When it comes to using hot tub plumbing in Canada
  for years to come, preventive maintenance goes a
  long way. Youve likely the habit of cleaning
  your hot tub cover, shell and maintaining the
  water. Yet, theres another important aspect of
  your hot tub that you often overlook, i.e., your
  hot tub plumbing.

• Hot tub plumbing can give rise to a lot of nasty
  biofilms, the buildup of dirt and grime in the
  form of bacteria and other organic contaminants.
  However, your hot tub plumbing is a perfect place
  for bacterial growth. All they need is warm
  water, organic matter, and a surface. Please
  remember that they dont require sunlight for
  growth and development.

Here is a simple plan to plan a maintenance
practice for hot tub plumbing in Canada

• 1. Take a look at your filter cartridge.
• Open the filter gently and take a look at it. If
  its been a year, you should replace the filter.
  If the filter is still in right shape, clean it
  up to get rid of grime and use a spa filter
  cleaner. Make sure that you rinse the filters
  thoroughly as the cleaner residue is a common
  reason for foam inside your hot tub.

• 2. Jet and circulate.
• Switch on the jets and let the system circulate
  for at least 30 minutes. If youre out of time
  and want to get the hot tub drained, you can stop
  circulating. If the time allows, consider
  circulating the hot tub for 24 hours. It will
  really do a great job of eliminating the nasty
  biofilm critters.

• 3. Drain and scrub.
• Drain the water perfectly from your hot tub. If
  your hot tub requires cleaning, this is the right
  time to do so. You dont want to be stuck with
  white or green slimy lines for the next couple of
  months. Try to avoid soap based cleaner as it
  leaves residues, which are the common causes of
  foam.
• Prepare a solution of an equal amount of white
  vinegar and water to erase those water lines or
  use a spa surface cleaner. Dont miss out
  cleaning the hot tub cover, top, and bottom with
  products designed specifically for hot tub
  covers.

• 4. Fill the hot tub.
• Now that your hot tub is perfectly clean its
  time to replace the water. This will take time,
  and its the right time to walk around and check
  for leaks if theres any.
• Fill up the hot tub by sticking the hose in the
  filter. It directs water through the filter and
  pipes quickly to get rid of trapped air inside
  the system. Trapped air inside the pipe can
  result in airlock and damage in the pump.

• 5. Balance and sanitize hot tub.
• Now the time has come to check the water and add
  proper chemicals to check the balance of water.
  Add your startup chemicals including sanitizer.
  Make adjustments in the pH level as required for
  sanitizer system to work well.

• Bottom Line
• Regularly flushing your hot tub plumbing is
  important for good reasons. It leaves your hot
  tub with cleaner water and a safer hot tub
  environment. This means you wont need to worry
  about the critters floating around in your water.
