Some hot tubs, like the quality spas sold at Best Hot Tubs’ three New York showrooms (Farmingdale, Westbury, Windham) are low maintenance. But just as there’s a need to change the oil and filters in even in the best made automobiles, well-constructed hot tubs require some regular servicing.
These services can be done either by a hot tub owner’s reading of the manufacturer’s manual, as well as checking out videos and other instructional help online — or by expert technicians such as those at Best Hot Tubs.
(It’s important to note that we service all types of hot tubs, not just the three brands we sell: Strong Spas, Aspen Spas and, Bullfrog Spas.)
“We offer three different service plans,” says Keith McPartland (Best Hot Tubs/Farmingdale). “With our weekly service Basic Plan we maintain your hot tub’s water quality by adjusting the chemical levels as required, be it chlorine or bromine, the alkalinity, pH up or down, and calcium levels.
The needed chemicals can be bought from Best Hot Tubs or the hot tub owner can supply their own.”
Keith adds that our most popular plan, our Standard Plan includes maintaining the water quality from our Basic Plan, but, in addition, we also clear away any excessive foam accumulated from lotions, hairsprays, soaps, etc.
“We also use specific chemicals that will make the water clearer — a super clarifier and a “metal away” solution that removes metals.
Plus, we add water if it is low, inspect the filter and rinse if needed, remove debris, and run the tub to check that all the systems are working, including the temperature and review the hot tub’s overall condition.”
Finally, Weekly Hot Tub Service offers a Premium Plan. “It includes everything in the Basic and Standard plans,” says Keith. “But with this plan, a hot tub owner does not need to lift a finger to keep their hot tub well serviced. We wipe down the hot tub covers — and remove any snow off of them when it’s accumulated. We also do a “drain and fill” every 13 weeks (a $400 value): we first drain the tub, then wipe the inside clean including the pillows, before refilling it.”
What these plans do not cover, Keith says, is any maintenance repairs that might be required, such as fixing or changing the pumps, heaters and controls. While we also do such repairs, these are separate issues.
Quality hot tubs also need to be well-serviced hot tubs. To sign up for one of our three weekly service plans, or get more information, contact:
