Hot Tubs & Spas

Year-round, not just for the four months the pool is open.

Maintenance, water care and repair for hot tubs and swim spas — including through the winter, when a spa is the one thing still running.

Small volume, hot water, heavy use: spa chemistry moves far faster than a pool.

What's included

What spa service covers.

Water testing and balance

Sanitiser, pH and alkalinity corrected properly. A spa holds a fraction of a pool’s volume, so it swings much faster and needs a closer eye.

Drain and refill

Full drain, shell clean, filter clean or replacement, and refill balanced from the first fill.

Plumbing purge

Biofilm removed from the internal pipework — the reason a spa can smell wrong days after a fresh refill.

Filter service

Deep cleaning and replacement on a schedule that actually matches how hard the tub is used.

Repairs

Pumps, heaters, controllers, jets and leaks, diagnosed and repaired directly.

Winter reliability

Cold-weather checks so the tub keeps running through the months you most want it, and does not freeze if something fails.

How it works

  1. Tell me about the tub

    Make, rough age, how many people use it and how often. That determines how much service it genuinely needs.

  2. First visit

    Usually a drain, clean, purge and refill so everything starts from a known baseline.

  3. Ongoing or one-off

    Scheduled service, or call me when you need it. Both work.

Common questions

How often should a hot tub be drained?

Every three to four months for typical use, sooner if it is used heavily. The volume is small enough that dissolved solids build up quickly no matter how well the chemistry is managed.

Do you service swim spas?

Yes — swim spas sit between a pool and a hot tub and need elements of both.

My tub smells even after a refill. Why?

Almost always biofilm in the internal plumbing, which a refill alone does not touch because it is not in the water you drained. It needs a purge before draining to actually clear.

Do you service hot tubs in winter?

Yes. Hot tubs are the service that runs year-round, and winter is when a failure matters most.
