Clean the hot tub cover regularly with a gentle cleanser. Ensure that the cover is free from dirt, debris, and any standing water. Apply a vinyl protectant to prevent fading and cracking.

Regularly test the water to ensure proper pH, alkalinity, and sanitizer levels. Use test strips or a water testing kit for accurate measurements.

Periodically shock the water to eliminate contaminants and maintain water clarity. Follow the manufacturer's recommendations for shock treatments.

Depending on usage, drain and refill the hot tub every 3 to 4 months to prevent the buildup of dissolved solids. This also provides an opportunity to clean the hot tub interior.
