Having a hot tub doesn't mean that you have to spend a lot of time keeping it in prime condition. So go ahead and put it to good use, and just follow these quick tips for keeping it maintained.

First, set up a plan for keeping your hot tub optimized year-round, considering daily, weekly and periodic maintenance. It may sound like a lot of work, however, if you stick to the plan you will find that maintenance goes quickly and smoothly!

If you are thinking about adding a new water feature to your home, you may be torn between a hot tub and a swim spa. While both of these are great options, depending on your family circumstances the swim spa may be your best first choice. Besides, there is nothing stopping you from having both of these home additions as they both are quite affordable.

One of the main reasons for opting for a swim spa is the size of your family. If you have children, this type of water attraction in your home is going to offer some great fun for the whole family.

There are two types of care that you should provide for your swim spa, which are maintenance and professional servicing.

The great part about owning a quality home spa, sauna or hot tub is that the maintenance and service calls can be kept to a minimum. You should consider this for both preventative measures as well as when the occasional need for repair arises.
