Regular water changes are an important part of maintaining your hot tub's performance and water quality. Just like cleaning your filters and testing your water, draining and refilling your spa should be part of your routine maintenance schedule.
At Strong Spas, we recommend following the maintenance schedule outlined in your owner's manual to help keep your spa operating at its best.
Follow Your Hot Tub Maintenance Schedule
Your hot tub's maintenance schedule is designed to help you enjoy clean, comfortable water while protecting the performance of your spa.
Over time, dissolved solids, body oils, cosmetics, and other contaminants naturally build up in the water. While proper water care helps maintain balanced water chemistry, these materials cannot be removed through sanitizers alone. Periodically draining and refilling your hot tub restores water quality and helps your spa continue performing as designed.
Always refer to your Strong Spas owner's manual for the recommended maintenance schedule for your specific model.
Why Fresh Water Matters
Changing your hot tub water as part of your routine maintenance helps:
- Maintain clean, clear water
- Improve sanitizer effectiveness
- Make balancing water chemistry easier
- Reduce the buildup of dissolved solids
- Support the long-term performance of your spa's components
Following the recommended maintenance schedule also helps create a more enjoyable soaking experience every time you use your hot tub.
Signs Your Water Needs Attention
In addition to following your maintenance schedule, pay attention to your water's condition. If you notice any of the following, it's time to inspect your water care routine:
- Persistent cloudiness
- Unpleasant odors
- Excessive foaming
- Difficulty maintaining balanced water chemistry
These issues may indicate that it's time for fresh water or additional maintenance.
Keeping Your Water in Great Condition
Routine water changes are only one part of proper hot tub care. To help maintain water quality between scheduled maintenance:
- Test and balance your water regularly.
- Clean your filters according to your owner's manual.
- Keep your spa covered when it's not in use.
- Follow the recommended sanitizer routine.
- Refer to your Strong Spas owner's manual for complete maintenance instructions.

A consistent maintenance routine is one of the best ways to protect your investment and keep your Strong Spa performing its best. By following the maintenance schedule in your owner's manual and practicing regular water care, you'll enjoy cleaner water, more reliable performance, and a better soaking experience for years to come.
