Gone Fishing!

Posted on July 2, 2015

Before you leave to go fishing this summer make sure you have set up your hot tub for success.  A few things to remember before you go…

  • Turn down the heat: at a lower temperature your hot tub will go through less chemical and you will decrease your risk of bacterial and algae growth. A temperature between 86-90 is ideal.
  • Ensure all jet ports are open allowing water to move freely through the entire tub.
  • Put a floater in the hot tub with either Chlorine or Bromine disks to maintain safe sanitizer levels.
  • Shock the tub just before leaving.

If you will be away for more than 2 weeks we highly recommend having someone come by to check on the tub and ensure everything is running and properly balanced.

If you have any questions or would like more information on how to best care for your Hot Tub, please call or visit our Water Care Experts at Backyard Leisure.
