Why having an Annual Service is Important for your Hot Tub?
In the midst of Winter time and colder weather, many people look forward to relaxing in their hot tubs to help warm up and unwind. However, it's important to remember that hot tubs require regular maintenance in order to function properly and provide the best experience for users. One of the most important things you can do for your hot tub is to have it serviced annually.
Having an annual service of your hot tub is similar to having an MOT of your car: it’s a check up of the inner workings of the unit and taking preventative action to ensure that it runs smoothly for years to come.
One major benefit of an annual service is the removal of biofilm, which is a thin and often transparent layer of microorganisms that can build up in the pipework and on the surfaces of your hot tub. Biofilm can harbor harmful bacteria and other contaminants, and it can be difficult to remove without professional help. A thorough annual service includes a deep cleaning and sanitisation of your hot tub, which can help eliminate biofilm and ensure that the water in your hot tub is clean and safe for use
Another benefit of an annual service is being able to see the components inside of the hot tub shell. Quite often problems with mechanical or electrical parts can be prevented by making regular checks of all of your hot tub systems in the service.
At Elite Hot Tub and Pool Maintenance, we understand the importance of this and that's why we offer comprehensive annual servicing for domestic and commercial hot tubs, swim spas and poolside spas.
