Preparing Your Spa for Fall: Essential Steps for a Cozy Autumn Soak 

As the crisp air of fall starts to settle in Portland, there’s nothing quite like enjoying a warm, relaxing soak in your spa. However, preparing your spa for the cooler months requires some careful attention. Here’s how to get your spa ready for fall, ensuring it remains a perfect retreat throughout the season. 

Why Fall Spa Preparation is Important 

Preparing your spa for fall not only enhances your experience but also prolongs the life of your equipment. Proper maintenance ensures that your spa operates efficiently and remains inviting, even as the temperatures drop. Here are the key steps to take: 

Essential Fall Spa Maintenance Tips 

  1. Deep Cleaning: Before the temperatures drop, give your spa a thorough cleaning. Drain the water, scrub the interior surfaces, and clean the filters. This removes any build-up of debris, oils, and contaminants, ensuring a fresh start for fall. 
  1. Inspect and Replace Filters: Clean or replace the spa filters to ensure optimal water flow and filtration. Clogged filters can strain the pump and reduce the efficiency of your spa’s heating and cleaning systems. 
  1. Check the Cover: Inspect your spa cover for any signs of wear and tear. A well-fitting, insulated spa cover is essential for retaining heat and keeping debris out. Consider investing in a high-quality cover if yours is damaged or worn. 
  1. Balance the Water Chemistry: Proper water chemistry is crucial for maintaining clear, safe water. Test the pH, alkalinity, and sanitizer levels, and make adjustments as needed. This prevents corrosion, scale build-up, and bacterial growth. 
  1. Inspect the Equipment: Check the spa’s pump, heater, and jets to ensure they are working properly. Look for any signs of leaks, unusual noises, or other issues that may need professional attention. 
  1. Set the Thermostat: Adjust your spa’s thermostat to maintain a comfortable temperature. This helps prevent freezing and ensures the water is ready for use whenever you want to relax.
