It’s winter in Grand County. You’ve got the mountain views, the stars above, and a steaming hot tub calling your name. Perfect, right?

Well… maybe.

Because not all hot tub services are created equal—and if your current cleaner is cutting corners, your “relaxing soak” might be more of a bacteria bath.

Here are the top red flags that your hot tub cleaner isn’t doing the job you’re paying for—and why that matters way more than you think.

Clean hot tub water should smell like clean water. Period.If it smells like chemicals, mildew, or anything funky, there’s a problem. Over-chlorination, under-sanitizing, or just not changing the water often enough? All bad signs.

Red Flag: “It smells strong, so it must be clean” is not a cleaning philosophy.
Our Take: We balance water properly, not just dump in shock and hope for the best.

That slick feeling on the walls or seats? That’s biofilm.
It’s basically a hot tub’s version of a horror film—and it means someone’s not scrubbing things properly.

Red Flag: If your hot tub feels like a slip-n-slide, someone’s skipping critical steps.
Our Take: We scrub, rinse, flush, and sanitize every time. No slime, no surprises.

A proper hot tub service isn’t a 10-minute drive-by.
It takes time to test, clean, balance, and inspect. If your cleaner shows up and is gone before you even find your checkbook, they didn’t do the job right.

Red Flag: Fast and flaky = lazy and risky.
Our Take: We show up on time, take the time, and keep it consistent.

Foamy water might look fun, but it usually means soap residue, body oils, or buildup in the filters.
Translation? It hasn’t been properly cleaned or balanced.

Red Flag: If it looks like a bubble bath, it’s probably bacteria having a party.
Our Take: We clean and rinse your filters, not just top off the chemicals and bounce.

A soak should feel soothing, not like a science experiment gone wrong. If you’re leaving your tub with dry skin, irritated eyes, or mystery rashes—something’s off.

Red Flag: Poor chemical balance, neglected filters, or hidden contaminants.
Our Take: We maintain safe, balanced water chemistry tailored to your setup and schedule.
