The weekly chemistry, the drain-and-refill schedule, and the cover care I've taught hot tub owners for years, as a printable PDF. Tape it inside the cabinet door and stop guessing.
That's the whole job. Get those three right and your water stays clear and your tub lasts. Each sheet covers one of them, with the exact schedules and ranges to follow.
Test weekly, keep alkalinity at 100 to 150 ppm, and add sanitizer weekly, like chlorine at 1 to 3 ppm or bromine at 3 to 5 ppm. Plus the weekly cleanse that keeps the water from going cloudy.
Drain and refill every 3 to 4 months, and the three-step filter clean: a quick rinse, a cleaner spray, and a deep soak.
How to clean the cover, keep it dry, and repair rips before they spread, so the cover you have is the one you keep.
There's no catch. I've been helping pool and hot tub owners since 1996 and running Swim University since 2006. We sell the Hot Tub Handbook and a video course for people who want the full system, but the cheat sheets are where everyone starts. They're what I wish every new hot tub owner had taped inside the cabinet door.
When you download them, you'll also get my weekly hot tub care email. It's short and seasonal, you can unsubscribe in one click, and I'll never sell your address.

Yes. The ranges apply to any hot tub, including inflatable tubs and swim spas, and the sheet lists the sanitizer range for chlorine and for bromine, so it works whichever one you use.
Pools run cooler and bigger, so the routine and the ranges are different. Grab the free Pool Care Cheat Sheets instead.
Stop worrying about your hot tub. You're 30 seconds away from never having to Google "how much bromine do I add" again.
