The basics of hot tub ownership and operation.
Welcome to Hot Tub Ownership
Owning a hot tub is a rewarding experience that brings relaxation and wellness into your daily life. Understanding the basics of how your hot tub works will help you enjoy it to the fullest and ensure its longevity.
The Core Components
- The Shell: The interior surface where you sit. Wellis® uses premium materials for durability and comfort.
- The Cabinet: The exterior structure. Modern cabinets are weather-resistant and require little maintenance.
- The Pumps: The heart of the system, circulating water for filtration and powering the massage jets.
- The Heater: Maintains your desired water temperature efficiently.
- The Filtration System: Keeps your water clean by capturing debris and contaminants.
Basic Maintenance
Regular maintenance is key to clear water and a healthy hot tub. This includes:
- Testing and balancing water chemistry weekly.
- Cleaning the filters regularly (usually rinsing every few weeks and deep cleaning periodically).
- Draining and refilling the water every 3-4 months, depending on usage.
- Keeping the cover clean and conditioned.
Energy Efficiency
Modern hot tubs are designed to be energy efficient. Features like full-foam insulation, high-quality covers, and smart heating systems help keep operating costs low. Keeping your cover securely fastened when not in use is the best way to conserve energy.
