Take the time to check the overall condition of your spa (seals, hoses, valves, acrylic shell, collars or clamps) to see if there is any problem or damage.
Make all necessary repairs before you proceed. Contact a professional if you need help.
Go through your cleaning products. If they’re expired, throw them out. If you’re missing any products, be sure to get them before you start up your spa. If you have an AquaChek test kit, check the expiry date.
