As a homeowner in East Lothian, maintaining your hot tub is essential to ensure it remains a safe and enjoyable space for relaxation. At Blocked Drains Edinburgh, we understand the importance of regular maintenance, and in this article, we will guide you through the process of draining and cleaning your hot tub.

Regular cleaning of your hot tub is crucial to prevent the buildup of dirt, bacteria, and other contaminants that can affect the water quality and the overall performance of your spa. A clean hot tub not only provides a more enjoyable experience but also helps to extend its lifespan.

Before you start draining your hot tub, make sure to:

• Check the manufacturer's instructions for specific guidance on draining and cleaning your particular model.
• Ensure the hot tub is cool to the touch to avoid any accidental burns or injuries.
• Remove any accessories, such as the cover or pillows, to prevent damage during the cleaning process.

To drain your hot tub, follow these steps:

1. Locate the drain valve, usually found at the bottom of the tub.
2. Open the valve to allow the water to drain out. You may need to use a wrench or pliers to loosen any stubborn valves.
3. Allow the water to drain completely, which may take several hours depending on the size of your tub.

Once the water has been drained, use a soft-bristled brush or a non-abrasive cleaner to remove any dirt, grime, or mildew from the shell and surrounding areas. Be sure to clean all surfaces, including the seats, jets, and any other features.

Remove and clean the filter according to the manufacturer's instructions. Use a soft-bristled brush to clean the jets and any other areas where dirt and debris may accumulate.

After cleaning your hot tub, refill it with fresh water and rebalance the chemicals according to the manufacturer's instructions. It's essential to maintain the correct pH and alkalinity levels to ensure the water is safe and enjoyable to use.

To keep your hot tub in good condition, we recommend draining and cleaning it every 3-4 months. Additionally, perform regular checks on the filter, jets, and other components to ensure they are functioning correctly.
