Hey hot tub owners! Here are the four warning signs that it's time to drain your hot tub. If you've got cloudy water, smelly odors, scum lines, or slimy surfaces, then you've got biofilm built up in your pipes. Contaminants like sweat, body oils, and bacteria can build up over time in your hot tub lines. The only way to get rid of it is by flushing out your lines with a hot tub, plumbing cleaner, and draining your hot tub.

You should flush out your pipes and drain your hot tub every three to four months. Follow us at Swim University for more hot tub care tips throughout the year.
