Step Two: PH Checking. 

You need to be sure that the PH level of your hot tub is between 7.0 and 7.8. If your PH levels are too low the water will become acidic, if your PH levels are too high then the water will become alkaline. This can cause harm to your hot tub as well as the user. 

Step Three: Changing the filters. 

The filters are a main feature for removing dirt and grime from the water and prevent things from getting into the pump or heater. If this happens, the overall lifespan of your hot tub will be considerably lower over time. The pump is constantly cleaning and filtering the water when in use and can, if you fail to clean, can result in the filters becoming clogged and filthy which will cause issues with the motor and could break if overstressed.
