Are you experiencing any of these common problems?
My Hot tub water level drops
If you have a free-standing portable hot tub, you can perform a bucket test to determine if water loss is due to something other than evaporation. Inspect around the hot tub and remove the skirt panels if present to see if any water has collected. If you see moisture or a visible leak, then call a professional to repair. A spa cover will help with evaporation, and is necessary keep out debris, retain a good chemical balance, and hold in the heat from the ambient air differential. If the tub is located under a patio deck or indoors, a cover is not necessary. If your spa is in-ground then you may have a leak in the plumbing under the concrete or soil. After eliminating all noticeable possibilities, consider hiring a leak detection service to perform a pressure and sonic test to locate the leak. Here at Spectrum, we can perform this diagnostic procedure and all generalized repairs. Call for an appointment to consult with one of our professionals.
My hot tub will not heat
This is one of the most persistent issues - besides water chemistry concerns - when it comes to our volume of service calls. There are basically two kinds of heaters that warm up therapeutic waters- natural gas and electric. Most portable spas and hot tubs rely on a small compact heating element that is tucked away under the skirt of the tub. The control membrane keypad is easily accessible to operate the jets, pump, air, and heat. When calling for heat, set to the desired temperature and turn the circulation system on. If your normal wait time is now extended or indefinite, then something has occured that may require a repair call. There are temperature sensors in the plumbing system and heater to detect water temperature. When these sensors fail, the system doesn't know how to adjust the level. You may see a reading of a very high temperature if you have a remote system, but the water is actually tepid. Electronic heating elements also have a service life and at some point will fail. For gas heaters, they may exhibit typical failures of any pool outdoor equipment pad - moisture, dirt, rodents, spiders or a component failure can stop the heater from operating. If you hot tub just won't get to your desired temperature as normal, then it may be time to hire a pro perform an on-site diagnosis. Spectrum is ready and able to help today.
My hot tub water is cloudy or foams
Proper water maintenance is challenging for a typical swimming pool, but for a spa is even more so. This is because it is a much smaller body of water and so changes happen very fast. As well, it is heated and occupied with a much larger body to water ratio than pools. Nevertheless, the basics of water care remain for both. If all variables are within standard industry ranges, then the water should be clear and healthy. You can search online for many offerings regarding spa chemistry manuals and will find a wealth of information. Basically, you must decide what combination of sanitizing agents you would like to use as your primary source. Some systems are now utilizing salt bromine generators, and so bromine (a halogen and effective sanitizer) is the primary disinfectant. This can also be acheived with sodium bromine in granular or tablet form. Chlorine granular is also sometimes used to rid the water of organic contaminants. And there are alternatives like Ozone and Minerals, but these typically require an addition of sanitizer as a base reserve to supplement and keep sanitized. Monitoring the pH and Alkaliinity are very important as to water clarity too. If foam develops, this could be a sign of hair and body products that have built up in the water, or a high level of Total Dissoved Solids. It may be time to drain. In the interim, you can try foam-control product to limit the production. Cloudiness is surely a result of water imbalance and possibly a dirty filter in conjunction. Get all chemical parameters in balance, clean the filter, and if still cloudy, then drain and refill.

How often one empties her hot tub is dependent upon how often it is used. That is a prudent way to approach cleanliness and health.
