How important is Jacuzzi maintenance?

Jacuzzi maintenance is not just a matter of cleaning. You are also making an investment in the durability and safety of the equipment.

With the right care, you will prevent problems that can be costly and ensure that the user experience is always pleasant and safe. From the outset, you'll prevent the build-up of bacteria, protecting your health, as well as making sure that the mechanical and electrical systems are fully functional.

 

Jacuzzi maintenance: basic cleaning!

Basic and frequent cleaning is essential to maintain the quality of the water and the hygiene of the jacuzzi. To carry out this more routine cleaning, you should empty and clean the jacuzzi with specific products. Clean the internal and external surfaces, as well as the filters, to prevent dirt and debris from accumulating.

The frequency of this basic cleaning will always depend on various factors, such as the frequency of use, the location of the jacuzzi (indoors or outdoors) and the number of users.

In very general terms, you should carry out this basic cleaning every 1 or 2 weeks. Also find out how to buy a jacuzzi

Deeper jacuzzi cleaning

When it comes to deep cleaning, you should do it every 3 or 4 months. The time can be reduced if the jacuzzi gets a lot of use. E

this deeper cleaning helps to prevent limescale build-up and the proliferation of bacteria, ensuring that you always have clean and inviting equipment.

It includes basic cleaning as well as other important steps:

Checking electrical components

Regularly checking electrical components is vital for user safety. This includes examining cables, connections and the control panel. It is essential to ensure that all components are working properly and that there are no signs of wear or damage.

As this is a very specific area and you probably don't have in-depth knowledge of the components, carry out a visual inspection. If you spot obvious signs of problems, such as frayed cables, loose connections or visible corrosion, call in a professional.

When maintaining a jacuzzi, be careful with the cover

The Jacuzzi's cover protects it from external impurities and helps maintain the water temperature. It is important to check that it is intact and clean, and to ensure that it is maintained.

 

Jacuzzi maintenance: water treatment!

Proper water treatment is crucial to keeping the environment healthy and pleasant. It's important to adjust the pH and disinfect the water regularly to maintain its clarity and rid it of harmful microorganisms.

The pH must be kept between 7.2 and 7.8 to ensure user comfort and protect all the components of the jacuzzi. Jacuzzi spa maintenance includes the use of specific chemical products that help maintain the ideal water balance.

You should ideally test the pH a few times a week, especially if you use it a lot.
