Summer Prep: Getting Your Hot Tub Ready for Warm Weather

As the days grow longer and temperatures begin to rise, it’s the perfect time for hot tub prep for your spring and summer enjoyment. A little early maintenance now can ensure your spa is clean, safe, and ready for months of relaxing outdoor living.
1. Deep Clean for a Fresh Start
Start your hot tub prep for summer by draining and thoroughly cleaning your hot tub. Remove any debris, clean filters, and wipe down the shell using a spa-safe cleaner. This helps prevent algae and bacteria build-up—especially important during warmer months when these can flourish quickly.
2. Adjust Water Temperature
With the heat of summer on its way, consider lowering your hot tub’s water temperature to around 32–35°C. This creates a more refreshing soak and saves energy. Some owners even switch to “cool tub” mode, turning their hot tub into a mini plunge pool.
3. Use the Right Sanitizers
Switching to chlorine-free sanitizers or UV water sanitizing systems can help maintain crystal-clear water with fewer harsh chemicals. These are especially popular in summer when frequent use and higher temperatures can throw off water balance more easily.
4. Invest in a Summer Cover
A lightweight summer hot tub cover is a worthwhile investment. It’s easier to handle than winter options and still provides protection from debris, insects, and UV rays—keeping your water clean and reducing maintenance time.
5. Set the Scene for Outdoor Living
Create a relaxing backyard retreat around your hot tub. Add soft outdoor seating, shade options, lighting, and accessories like waterproof speakers or drink holders. Even small touches can turn your hot tub area into a go-to summer destination.
