How Often do I need to Drain my spa or hot tub? Draining your spa or hot tub is a very important factor in caring for your spa, the spa's components & more importantly, the people using the spa. |

Draining & refilling too often is a waste of your time & the valuable resource of water. Not draining & refilling often enough will lead to hot water care problems which can lead to excessive bacterial growth which can lead to skin rashes, possible ear infections, "hot tub lung" & other physical health related conditions. The formula is pretty simple. Take the number of gallons in the spa divided by the average daily bather load then divide that number by 3 to get your answer. First example: a spa or hot tub with 300
gallons of water that is used by 2 people twice each day 5 - 7days (equals
bather load of 4) Second example: a spa or hot tub with 300
gallons of water that is used by 2 people once each day 5 - 7days (equals bather
load of 2) This formula is not concrete, HOWEVER it is a good guideline to follow. Depending on how much the spa is used directly determines how often it needs to be drained & refilled. It may seem like a lot but consider this: if you were soaking in a bathtub every night, how often would you drain & refill the tub? Every time you used it, right? Right! Remember that most commercial spas need to drain & refill their spas at least once per week! Or they should! A good tell tale sign that a spa's water needs to be changed is the water is very foamy and the antifoam your adding has minimal effect and/or the water doesn't smell clean. When in doubt, drain it out. It may seem like a pain, but your health & safety is our first concern.
