Superior Gecko - Cleaning Your Hot Tub

CLEANING
YOUR HOT TUB
It is vital to clean your hot tub on a regular basis.
Even if your saniser levels are perfect, hot tubs
can sll develop biolm. Bacteria feeds on this,
which ends up in your water, eang up chlorine
and potenally exposing you to contaminants which
long-term may cause legionnaires disease and E. coli.
Before emptying your hot tub, we recommend using pipe
cleaning uid called Spa Flush which will clean out the
pipework and remove any biolm. Once added, let the uid
circulate for around 20-30 minutes. If you see foam, don’t worry
- this means it’s working. Aer the 20-30 minutes is up, you can
begin emptying your hot tub (please see page 15 for informaon on
how to empty your hot tub safely).
Whilst your hot tub is draining, we recommend using this me to clean
your lter. Simply grab a bucket and ll it with warm tap water. Add
some Hot Tub Filter Cleaner to the water, swirl the water slightly to dilute
and then submerge the lter. Leave it to soak for 24 hours and then rinse
thoroughly with fresh, clean water. You will need to let the lter air dry before
placing back in the hot tub. We recommend to use a spare clean lter whilst
carrying out this task
Now that your hot tub is empty, spray the shell with a Hot Tub Cleaner uid (not
household cleaning products) and use a microbre cloth to remove any residue.
Don’t forget to wipe around the jets too. Rinse all surfaces and drain the rinsed water
to prevent foaming when you rell your hot tub. Finally, clean the underside of the cover
to protect it and prolong its life.
TOP TIP:
We recommended you drain your hot tub using a
submersible pump – this can be purchased directly
with us.
Draining the water
Water can only be chemically maintained for so long before excess build-up occurs and
requires replacement. We recommend draining and relling your water every three-four
months. Prior to emptying, use a hot tub ush to remove any dirt, debris and loosen any
calcium from the pipework – this will all be washed away with the drained water. Before
you rell your hot tub and use again, we recommend using Spa Surface Cleaner to
sanise and clean the hot tub shell and surface.
To empty your hot tub safely, follow the guidance below:
• Turn o your hot tub completely at the isolaon switch. If you have a
Plug & Play hot tub, switch o the plug socket
• Once switched o, locate the drainage valve on your hot tub (usually
posioned on one of the sides)
• Unscrew this to open it, t a hosepipe and point the other end
towards suitable drainage
• At this point, we recommend adding a submersible pump in
the water with your hose close to a drain
• Once posioned, switch the submersible pump on at the
main switch
• Allow your hot tub to empty (please note, it could take
a couple of hours to fully drain)
