Water care
Hot tub water care in Jackson Hole
Clean water, reliable performance and longer equipment life. Water care is simple with the right products, a few good habits and local support.
The basics
Three steps to clear, balanced water.
Owning a hot tub in Jackson Hole doesn't have to mean complicated water chemistry.
1
Test
Check sanitizer, pH and alkalinity with test strips a few times a week, and bring a sample to our showroom once a month.
2
Balance
Adjust alkalinity first, then pH, then sanitizer. Small, steady adjustments work better than big ones.
3
Maintain
Rinse filters regularly, deep clean them seasonally and drain and refill your spa every three to four months.
In-store water testing
Why in-store testing matters.
Online water care advice is generic. Every home's water in Jackson, Wilson, Alpine, Victor and surrounding areas is different, and elevation, minerals and temperature all affect your balance.

Seasonal care
Water care through every Wyoming season.
Winter
Keep the spa running and covered, check water levels so jets stay submerged, clear snow off the cover and test more often after heavy use.
Summer
Sun, pollen and more bathers use up sanitizer faster. Test after parties, shower before soaking and clean filters more often.
Every 3 to 4 months
Drain, clean the shell and refill. Use a line flush before draining to clear buildup from the plumbing.
Filters
Rinse every one to two weeks, deep clean every month or two and replace roughly once a year.
FAQs
Hot tub water care questions.
Can't find your answer? Call our Jackson showroom at (307) 201-5219.
How often should I test my hot tub water?
Test with strips two to three times a week, and after heavy use. For a full picture, bring a sample to our Jackson showroom about once a month.
Why is my hot tub water cloudy?
Cloudy water usually means low sanitizer, unbalanced pH or alkalinity, or a dirty filter. Test and balance the water, clean the filter, then shock the spa.
How often should I drain and refill my hot tub?
Most spas need a drain and refill every three to four months, depending on how often you use it and how well the water has been maintained.
Does elevation affect water chemistry?
Yes. Higher elevation, local minerals and big temperature swings change how your water behaves, which is why local testing helps.
Where can I buy hot tub chemicals and filters?
Our W Broadway showroom stocks chemicals, filters and water care products, and our team can help you choose what fits your spa.
