What is the Life Expectancy of a Hot Tub Pump?
Most hot tub pumps can last anywhere between 5-20 years. But the exact amount of time depends on how often you use your tub, the quality of your water and how frequently you clean your hot tub. Each of these factors contributes to the wear and tear on the hot tub pump. The average hot tub in Toronto is not used year-round, contributing to a longer useful life.
How Can I Get My Pump to Last Longer?
If you want to get your money's worth out of your hot tub pump, ensure that you:
- Clean and replace your pump’s filter regularly to prevent a clog or excess buildup inside of the pump. This can cause it to overheat and burn out.
- Regularly check the chemistry of your hot tub water. When the pH is too low, the metal elements of your hot tub pump can corrode. This can cause it to leak and break. When the pH is too high, this can cause scaling.
- Get regular servicing done to ensure that your hot tub pump remains in good condition every season. Consider having a professional inspect and service your hot tub and pump annually. They can even help you clean and store your pump before the winter to prevent seasonal damage.
