Spa & hot tub
Hot tub and spa cleaning in Austin
Sullivan’s services attached spas and standalone hot tubs, including water testing, cartridge care and equipment faults. Tell us whether the spa shares equipment with a pool and provide its make and model. CDC recommends routine disinfectant and pH checks for hot tubs; the manufacturer’s instructions govern filter care and water replacement. A spa’s maintenance schedule is set by the tub’s own instructions and how it is used, not by pool size.
Why a spa is not a small pool
-
Chemistry
Disinfectant and pH checks specific to the hot tub and its use.
Tested and balanced, with water replacement assessed against the tub instructions.
-
Filter
Cartridge care follows the installed spa model and filter condition.
Cartridges cleaned or replaced as appropriate for the equipment.
-
Hardware
Jets, blower, heater, circulation pump — and the cover.
Attached-spa valves, spillover and switchover faults included.

Hot tub maintenance and cleaning schedules
Water checks, cartridge care and water replacement have different schedules. Use the tub manufacturer’s instructions and account for how the tub is used; a weekly pool-service visit does not replace the water checks needed between visits. Share the make and model and whether the spa shares equipment with a pool when asking about care.
Drain, clean and refill, or investigate an equipment fault?
Drain, clean and refill work is assessed for the tub and its water condition. A heater, jet, blower or circulation-pump fault needs equipment diagnosis. Attached spas can also have valve or actuator problems affecting spillover and switchover. Describe the symptom before choosing a service.

How often should a hot tub be drained?
Follow the tub manufacturer’s replacement schedule and assess water condition and use. A generic gallons-per-bather formula is not an instruction for every household tub. Persistent water problems need assessment; do not keep adding chemicals or drain shared pool equipment without the appropriate procedure.
-
What water checks does a hot tub need?
CDC recommends pH of 7.0–7.8 and at least 3 ppm chlorine for hot tubs, with routine testing at least twice daily and more during heavy use. If using bromine, CDC’s hot-tub guidance gives 4–8 ppm. Follow product and equipment instructions, and keep the water at or below 104°F.
-
Do you service standalone hot tubs as well as attached spas?
Yes, both. Send the make and model of the tub, and tell us whether a spa shares its equipment with the pool.
