How do I Maintain a Cold Plunge Tub?

Maintaining a cold plunge tub involves a combination of daily, weekly, and monthly tasks to ensure hygiene and equipment longevity.

Daily Care:

• Skim the water surface to remove debris.
• Verify that the water level is adequate for proper operation.

Weekly Maintenance:

• Scrub all surfaces using a soft brush and a mild cleaner.
• Apply a non-chlorine sanitizer, maintaining a pH balance between 7.2 and 7.8.
• Test the water chemistry using test strips to ensure sanitizer levels are correct.
• Inspect the filter for clogs or buildup.

Monthly and Long-term Care:

• Perform a full system flush and change the filters every month.
• Drain and refill the tub with fresh water every few months.
• If algae appears, use an algaecide and run the circulation pump for 24 hours.

Proper maintenance is essential to prevent the buildup of bacteria or algae and to avoid expensive repairs to the chiller unit.
