Spring Hot Tub Cleaning Guide: How to Keep It Sanitary for Soaking
Hot tubs are 90% relaxation—until spring hits, and it’s time to roll up your sleeves. Winter cover-off season means it’s time for a full inspection, deep clean, and water refresh. Whether you DIY or book professional service, spring is the perfect time to make your hot tub safe, clean, and ready for stress-free soaking.
Why Sanitation Matters
Hot tubs are warm, humid, and prone to bacterial growth if left untreated. Cloudy water, strange odours, or visible slime are all signs that your water chemistry is off—and possibly unsafe. Unsanitary hot tub water can lead to skin irritation, eye infections, or even respiratory issues.
Spring cleaning your hot tub doesn’t just make it look good. It protects your health and preserves your equipment for longer-lasting enjoyment.

Prefer to handle the cleaning yourself? We guess that’s why you’re here! No problem, just be ready to spot and fix these common signs of poor water quality:
- Cloudy or foamy water
- Slimy surfaces or scum buildup
- Sour or chemical odours
Use 4-way water test strips to check bromine/chlorine, pH, and alkalinity. If anything’s out of range, use a water care system like the SpaGuard water care products, available right here at OHL.
Step-by-Step DIY Hot Tub Sanitation
- Drain & Rinse – Fully drain your hot tub and rinse away leftover water with a hose.
- Scrub Surfaces – Use a soft sponge to remove any buildup along the liner, jets, and headrests.
- Clean Filter – Rinse and disinfect your filter to remove trapped debris and bacteria.
- Refill & Balance – Fill your tub with fresh water and adjust pH, alkalinity, and sanitizer levels.
- Shock the Water – Use a chlorine-free shock treatment like SpaGuard Lite to oxidize and sanitize.
