Hot tub maintenance log for water tests, chemicals and filters

This hot tub maintenance log gives spa owners one calm place to write down how the water tested, which chemicals went in, when filters were cleaned, every drain and refill, each look at the cover and any repair. Across 30 undated pages you will find a profile of your spa with target ranges you set yourself, weekly test pages, trackers for filters, a plan for draining and refilling, pages for looking after the cover and a checklist for each season.

You get a US Letter PDF and an A4 PDF. Download them right away and print at home. Nothing is mailed.

How the hot tub maintenance log keeps your water clear

Write down the target ranges from your test kit or spa dealer just once. After that, every test on the weekly page records sanitizer, pH, alkalinity and hardness along with the temperature, so a slow drift catches your eye before the water goes cloudy. The chemical log notes the product, the amount the label called for and the result when you retested, which is handy to have when you speak to a spa technician.

Trackers for cleaning and replacing filters, a history of each drain and refill with the readings taken at start-up, and a log for the cover keep the larger jobs on time. A record of soaks and use, notes on water problems and a page for error codes help you see what changed whenever something goes wrong.

Who this spa care log is for

• First time hot tub owners learning an easy routine for testing, adding products and cleaning filters
• Owners of acrylic tubs, inflatable spas and swim spas using chlorine, bromine or mineral systems
• Families sharing the care of the tub who want one record everyone can follow
• Homeowners who drain, refill and swap filters on a schedule and want to know when it last happened
• Anyone who would rather keep a paper log by the back door than track it in an app

Design and printing

• Elegant, minimalist look: white pages and soft blush pink touches that use very little ink
• Generous margins all around, so a home printer will not clip anything
• Two portrait sizes: US Letter (8.5 x 11 in) and A4 (210 x 297 mm)
• Undated, so you can begin in any month and reprint the logs as often as you need
• Target ranges are left empty so you can fill them in from your own test kit, manual or dealer
• Use it in a binder or on a clipboard, or have a print shop spiral bind it
