Hot Tub Maintenance, Made Easy!

A lot of people have a misunderstanding about how easy it is to maintain a hot tub. Hopefully this page will make your life a lot easier!

Jacuzzi has a proprietary system called ClearRay. These systems allow you to use virtually no chlorine. It also allows you to go much longer in between water changes.

Please follow the directions below based on whether or not you have the ClearRay system.

If you have any other questions about maintaining your hot tub, please give us a call at:
