Are Jacuzzi® hot tubs hard to maintain?

Jacuzzi® hot tubs are designed to be hassle-free and virtually maintenance-free. Jacuzzi has spent decades serving as a leader in this industry by introducing many cutting-edge and proprietary technologies that not only ensure your hydrotherapy is the most enjoyable and beneficial, but also that your experience as a hot tub owner is easy and stress free. That said, Jacuzzi® hot tubs are equipped with, or compatible with, a multitude of features that make them easy for you to own, operate, and maintain.

Water care in a Jacuzzi® hot tub

Maintaining clean and safe water is an important part of caring for any hot tub. Ensuring you have clean and safe water is one of the Jacuzzi® brand’s highest priorities.

Jacuzzi offers the ClearRay Active Oxygen® System, which utilizes various technologies to achieve clear, beautiful hot tub water. The ClearRay Active Oxygen® System provides Jacuzzi® hot tub owners a nearly hands-free approach to water care. This system uses multiple technologies to clean the water—giving you with peace of mind that your water will be ready to use when you are.

The newest development in water care from Jacuzzi is the True Water™ system, which is the easiest and most effective water purification system the brand has tested. The True Water™ System uses nanotechnology to gently yet powerfully clean* your hot tub water. This holistic take on hot tub water maintenance does not require the use of traditional cleaning agents such as bromine and nearly all of the chlorine has been taken out, too.

Instead, trillions of nanoscopic bubbles, which are invisible to the naked eye and yet remain suspended in your hot tub water for weeks at a time, saturate your hot tub water, naturally scrub surfaces, and destroy microscopic contaminants that they encounter.

The True Water™ system is more effective than any other water care system the Jacuzzi team has tested. Third-party lab results show that True™ removes 99.9% of bacterial and viral contaminants without any chlorine or other chemical additives***.

Because True™ makes hot tub maintenance easy and nearly hassle-free, you will spend much less time on this task. True™ also ensures that your hot tub water is void of the chlorine smell that can sometimes be associated with hot tub water care. True™ provides you with fresh, sparkling clear water that looks, smells, and feels good. Another perk of True™ is that, while it is tough on contaminants in your hot tub water, it is gentle on your skin and hair.

Filtration care in a Jacuzzi® hot tub

Filtration is another key aspect of maintaining your hot tub. This is another area where the Jacuzzi® brand has employed technologies to ensure your hot tub water is clean without much maintenance on your part. The Jacuzzi® five-stage filtration process** results in cleaner water, which means fewer water changes and less effort for you. It works like this:

STAGES 1 and 2:

The skimmer and unique mesh ProCatch™ filter work together to clean the water surface and trap large debris for easy removal.

STAGE 3:

This exclusive system features a 60-square-foot ProClarity® filter connected directly to a ProStream™ filtration pump that filters an incredible 35 gallons of water per minute, resulting in clean water faster.

STAGE 4:

The ProClarity® depth load filter polishes the water down to a 3 micron level.

STAGE 5:

The second 60-square-foot ProClarity® filter cleans* and activates when you are using the hot tub. This doubles the filtration when you need it the most.

With excellent water care and filtration management systems, Jacuzzi® hot tubs are made to be nearly maintenance free. But Jacuzzi takes it even further to make hot tub ownership and maintenance even easier with features such as the Jacuzzi® SmartTub® remote monitoring system.

The importance of a hot tub cover

In addition to monitoring and managing your hot tub usage through this technology, you can also maintain your hot tub water’s heat with a Jacuzzi® ProLast™ cover. The use of this high-quality cover not only helps lock in your hot tub’s temperature when not in use, but it also helps keep dirt, debris, and bugs from getting into the water. This eliminates the need for you to have to skim the water to remove impurities before your next soak.
