Maintenance schedule for your hot tub: monthly overview

A hot tub in the garden brings relaxation - but also responsibility. Regular maintenance not only ensures clean water, but also extends the service life of your hot tub and prevents expensive repairs. In this maintenance plan, we show you what needs to be done each month - clearly laid out, simple and easy to implement.

Why a maintenance plan is important

Without maintenance, the hot tub quickly loses water quality and efficiency. Limescale deposits, clogged filters or invisible bacteria can develop unnoticed. With a fixed plan, your hot tub remains hygienic, functional and inviting at all times.

January

  • Check frost protection: Check the frost protection function when the outside temperature is below zero or heat gently throughout.

  • Monitor the water level: Evaporation in winter is rare, but possible - keep an eye on the fill level.

  • Check the cover: Remove snow or ice regularly to prevent damage.

  • Rinse filter: Clean with water at least once a month.

February

  • Measure water quality: Check pH value and disinfectant (e.g. chlorine) and add more.

  • Clean the filter again: At least every 4 weeks - more intensively if used frequently.

  • Check nozzles for flow: Remove any deposits.

  • Ventilate the cover: Allow condensation to escape to prevent mold from forming.

March

  • Spring check: Prepare the hot tub for the more active season - check the technology and seals.

  • Cleaning inside & outside: Clean the housing and tub body.

  • Change the filter insert: If heavy winter use or first signs of wear.

  • Consider changing the water: Depending on frequency of use.

April

  • Replace the water completely: Ideal at the start of the season.

  • Flush pipes and nozzles: Use system cleaner before refilling.

  • Disinfect or replace the filter: Especially if algae forms or the water is cloudy.

  • Clean the cover thoroughly: Clean the inside and outside with a mild detergent.

May

  • Stabilize pH value and disinfection: Check more frequently in warmer weather.

  • Adjust water level in case of evaporation: Especially in windy and sunny weather.

  • Ventilate the whirlpool more frequently: Avoid mold through short ventilation.

  • Clean the waterline: Remove biofilm regularly.

June

  • High season: Test the water weekly: Especially during intensive use.

  • Clean the filter every 2-3 weeks: Especially with frequent use.

  • Replenish water care products: Check supplies (chlorine, pH+, pH-, algae protection).

  • Wipe the tub thoroughly: Clean edges and drains.

July

  • Check UV protection: Protect the hot tub from direct sunlight.

  • Clean the cover more often: sun and heat can attack the material.

  • Check water quality daily: Recommended for daily bathing.

  • Remove limescale: Check especially if the water is hard.

August

  • Ensure cooling for equipment: Keep ventilation slots clear.

  • Change the filter regularly: At least every 6-8 weeks if used frequently.

  • Top up with water: Compensate for evaporation.

  • Maintain ozone or UV system: If present, check function.

September

  • Start fall preparation: Remove first leaves, use cover more frequently.

  • Clean the surroundings: Remove leaves, insects and dirt regularly.

  • Stabilize pH value: Compensate for temperature fluctuations.

  • Check seals: Inspect before colder weather.

October

  • Decision: continue to use or winterize? Adjust maintenance according to plan.

  • Clean or change filter again.

  • Check water level: For possible operation over the fall.

  • Inspect the cover: No cracks, no open seams?

November

  • Initiate winterization (if desired): Switch off technology, drain water, remove residual water.

  • Fasten the cover frost-proof: Use additional tarpaulin.

  • Store accessories frost-free: filter inserts, care products, etc.

  • Final visual inspection: cracks, moisture, mold?

December

  • For winter operation: Check regular operation: Maintain temperature, operate filters.

  • Monitor the heating system: Especially in heavy frost.

  • Briefly ventilate & check: Lift cover, visually check.

  • Make notes for next year: What went well? What could be improved?

With a monthly maintenance plan, you can ensure flawless technology, hygienically clean water and long-lasting relaxing whirlpool moments all year round. A few minutes a month will protect you from major repairs and ensure carefree bathing fun.
