Your spa de-stresses your mind, relaxes your muscles, and transforms your backyard into a vacation getaway. So, take care of your spa just as well as it takes care of you. Your spa’s skirting, shell, cartridges, and pillows are all parts and accessories that require just as much care as the spa itself.

In order for your spa to be the oasis of your dreams, it needs to stay clean and balanced. That’s where chemicals come in.

Slipping beneath the warm ripples of your spa in the heart of winter is a one-of-a-kind feeling. If you’re planning on soaking during those colder months, make sure your water temperature is well above freezing. You can do this by switching your spa from economy/sleep mode to standard mode and checking the temperature frequently.

If you don’t intend to use your spa during the winter months, you’ll need to winterize your spa to avoid complications.

The birds are chirping, the grass is growing, and your spa is waiting. If you didn’t use your spa during the winter months, make sure you reopen your spa correctly.
