Your spa should always be a place to relax, not a reminder of maintenance you've been putting off. Over time, body oils, dirt, sunscreen, minerals, and everyday use can leave your spa looking dull and reduce the performance of its equipment. The good news is that a simple maintenance routine can keep your spa looking like new all year round.
Whether you're preparing for more backyard entertaining or simply want to enjoy crystal-clear water again, this Spa Glow Up Checklist will help you clean, protect, and maintain your spa with confidence.
Your Spa Glow Up Checklist
Flush the Plumbing
Even if your water looks clean, biofilm and debris can accumulate inside your spa's plumbing. Periodically flushing the pipework helps improve water quality and keeps your spa running efficiently.
Clean the Spa Shell
Wipe down the spa shell to remove dirt, oils, and calcium deposits that build up over time. Regular cleaning helps maintain the finish and prevents stubborn stains from developing.
Clean or Refresh the Filter
Your filter works hard to trap dirt, oils, and fine particles. A dirty filter reduces water circulation and can make balancing your water chemistry much more difficult. Clean your filter regularly and replace it when necessary.
Check and Balance Your Water
Test your water regularly and adjust sanitiser, pH, and alkalinity levels as needed. Balanced water not only looks better but also protects your spa equipment and provides a more enjoyable soaking experience.
Protect Your Spa Cover
Your spa cover is your first line of defence against leaves, dirt, UV damage, and heat loss. Cleaning and protecting the cover helps extend its lifespan while keeping your spa cleaner between uses.
Stay on Top of Routine Maintenance
A few minutes each week can save hours of cleaning later. Regular maintenance keeps your spa looking its best while helping prevent expensive repairs.
