Hot Tubs aren’t just for winter. Many homeowners continue using their Spa throughout the Spring and Summer, but warmer weather requires a slightly different approach to keep things running efficiently.
Adjust Your Temperature
During Summer/late Spring, you don’t need to keep your Hot Tub at peak heat.
- Lower the temperature to 95–98°F (35–37°C)
- Reduce energy usage while still keeping it comfortable
- Prevent overheating during hot days
This small adjustment can significantly reduce operating costs.
Keep Your Water Balanced
Warmer temperatures and increased usage can throw off your water chemistry faster.
Make sure to:
- Test water more frequently
- Maintain proper sanitizer levels
- Monitor pH and alkalinity closely
Consistent balancing helps prevent cloudy water and buildup.
Clean Filters More Often
With more frequent use in summer, filters can clog quicker.
- Rinse filters weekly
- Deep clean monthly
- Replace if needed
Clean filters improve circulation and overall performance.
Use a Cover (Even in the Spring/Summer)
It might seem unnecessary, but keeping your Hot Tub covered when not in use helps:
- Retain heat overnight
- Keep debris out
- Maintain water cleanliness
Watch for Early Signs of Wear
Increased usage can put extra strain on components.
Look out for:
- Reduced jet pressure
- Unusual noises
- Temperature inconsistencies
Catching these early can prevent larger repairs.
