As temperatures drop, your hot tub needs a little extra attention to stay in top shape through the colder months. Here’s how to keep it running smoothly all winter long:
Refresh your water before freezing temperatures arrive
Drain and refill your hot tub with fresh water before the frost sets in. Over time, by-products build up in the water, increasing the total dissolved solids (TDS). When TDS levels get too high, the water becomes harder to balance and less effective at keeping your spa clean. This maintenance should be done at least two to three times per year.
Clean your filters while draining
Clean filters keep your system running efficiently — and it’s much easier to do now than when temperatures drop.
Our Oakville and Mississauga stores carry Filter Clean, an easy-to-use product that removes oils and buildup from your filter and its elements. Periodic use improves filtration, extends filter life, and helps reduce maintenance costs.
Is your cover heavy or waterlogged?
If lifting it has become a workout, it’s time for a new one. A well-fitted cover helps seal in warmth, reduce heat loss, and prevent strain on your system — keeping your spa running efficiently and protected through the winter.
Speak to our Mississauga retail store to get started on your custom cover order. Our spa covers are made in Canada using high-end raw materials to ensure our covers withstand the elements and quality workmanship to safeguard against the demands of everyday use.
📞 Call 905-828-7665 ext. 805 to learn more.
For added ease, consider a cover lifter — it makes opening and closing your spa simple and helps prevent damage to the cover over time.
Stay alert to temperature changes and power outages
A sudden loss of power or drop in temperature can lead to freezing damage. Keep an eye on your spa to ensure it’s always running and maintaining heat.
