Cover, Cover, Cover Hot tub covers reduce evaporation and water waste by 95%. Take good care of your cover to extend its life and look to replace it when it starts looking worn and becoming less effective. Adding a thermal cover is another great to maintain heat and prevent evaporation.

All hot tubs lose water due to evaporation and also from splashing and bather use. You can reduce the amount of water that evaporates by protecting your hot tub from the elements and also fitting a good quality cover.

Check for a bad seal — While PVC pipes can burst if water freezes in the line over the winter, the most likely culprit of your hot tub’s leak is a bad seal. Check pipes, elbows, unions, connections, and tees — If your hot tub is completely drained it may be difficult to locate a leak within a pipe union or connection.

Putting too much water into your hot tub may also cause overflowing. No matter the cause, when you overflow your hot tub, it causes the water level to rise above the loop for the air blower, which causes the circuit breaker to trip. Try to reset the breaker and reset the hot tub.

Water left in the pipes and equipment can grow bacteria biofilm, which is difficult to eradicate. Plus, without water, seals and gaskets become dry and begin to leak. Therefore, make sure to not leave your hot tub sitting empty.

#1: Make Sure To Drain Completely When Storing Your Hot Tub Storing a hot tub usually means draining the water, which is just fine and usually doesn’t affect the tub.

Hot tub filters should be run for a minimum of 8 hours a day every single day.
