Whether you’re dusting off your hot tub cover after the cold winter months or starting up a brand new hot tub, proper operation and maintenance are key to keeping it clean and running well. Clean your hot tub by clearing debris off its cover and wiping down its inside with bleach and water. Fill the hot tub with water and run sanitizer through it to ensure it is clean. Maintain the tub by removing water lines with white vinegar and regularly cleaning its filter.
