3 Signs That It Is Time For A Hot Tub Repair

Posted on

Homeowners get very disappointed when the hot tub breaks down. The tub is one of the few corners of the home where you can retreat and have some quiet time after a hard day's work, with the warm water and different functionalities massaging your body. However, you will not enjoy the luxury when the appliance starts developing mechanical problems. Here are the main signs that your tub might have damage that needs professional repairs. 

Funky Smells

Before you notice anything else wrong with your bathtub, you will have experienced the funky smells. Your tub might have certain smells because of the cleaning products to keep it hygienic. However, it should never smell nasty. If the water starts having a stale and funky smell, there is a chance that it is contaminated and not circulating as it should. The most common cause of the foul odor is a clogged filter. You should call the plumber to check the tub, especially the filter, and ensure water is circulating freely. 

Water Discoloration

Water discoloration is another indicator that your tub has damage that needs repairs. Typically, the water will turn green when there is an imbalance in the chemical composition of the water. For instance, an imbalance can lead to the development of algae, which is often the cause of the greenish tinge. The professionals will check the pH in the tub before recommending any solution. If the pH balance is off, they will know how to bring it back to balance. They also use an algaecide to eliminate the already existing algae from the tub. The process involves draining and thoroughly cleaning the tub before balancing the PH.

Water Leakage

It is not easy to notice when the tub starts leaking water. In most cases, your tub does not splash water when the jets are running. You might only suspect that you have an issue with leakage when you have instances of unexplained water loss from the system. Call the local appliance repair service and have them check the system immediately after you notice signs of a leak. Ignoring it could lead to massive water damage. A related issue could be inconsistent temperatures, common when the water level keeps fluctuating. 

The best way to handle your hot water tub issues is by calling appliance repair technicians immediately after you notice signs of trouble. With their help, you can repair the damage and restore its functionality and comfort.
