Performing this preventative care helps to avoid costly breakdowns that could be caused by wet weather, especially to plumbing and electrical components. With a well-maintained spa, you can enjoy a ready-to-use, trouble-free spa when spring arrives.

Why is it important to prepare a spa for winter?

In the Mediterranean climate, winter temperatures are usually mild. However, the spa is exposed to other factors that can affect its performance and durability.

Climatic factors such as mild temperatures, but humidity and rainfall can affect external components.

Unmaintained hazards such as dirt build-up, mould and mildew, and wear and tear due to lack of water circulation.

This type of care improves the durability of the spa. With simple preventive maintenance, you can ensure that your spa retains its performance and quality.

Benefits of winter maintenance

• Savings on repairs. Good maintenance prevents costly problems in filtering and air conditioning.

• Increased durability, protecting the spa from dust, moisture and dirt, prolonging its useful life.

• Spring readiness, ensuring that the spa is in optimum condition for use.

Steps for preparing a spa for the winter

1. Deep cleaning

Drain the spa thoroughly. The first step in preparing a spa before winter arrives is to drain all the water to avoid accumulation of dirt and debris.

When draining the spa, it is important to use specific products to clean the walls and bottom with products that remove debris, bacteria and chemicals.

It is essential to clean or replace the spa’s filters before winter, as they accumulate debris that can affect the spa’s performance.

Filter maintenance

• Clean or replace filters to remove accumulated particles.
• Wash filters with specific cleaner and dry thoroughly before storing or reinstalling.

2. Complete drying of components

Once the spa is clean, it is essential to dry all components, especially the plumbing and circulation system.

For proper drying of the plumbing and circulation system, use a wet vac to remove any remaining moisture in the lines to prevent mould and micro-organisms.

3. Protection of the surface and external parts

To ensure optimum preservation during the winter, it is advisable to apply protective products to the surface of the spa.

• Application of protective products, these products help to keep the structure in good condition, protect the surface of the spa against dust, dirt and wear and tear.
• Waterproof cover for winter, waterproof covers are ideal in Mediterranean climates, as they protect against humidity and allow good ventilation, avoiding condensation problems.

Use a waterproof cover that allows ventilation and prevents condensation problems in Mediterranean climates.

These technologies ensure that everything works optimally.

What are the main benefits of smart solutions?

1- Automated maintenance 

Firstly, it automatically adjusts the levels of chemicals needed to keep the water in perfect condition.

2- Temperature control

They allow the water temperature to be programmed and adjusted remotely, thus ensuring the user’s comfort at all times.

3- Efficient filtration

Which Smart Solution Components are Key for your Pool or Spa?

These technologies not only facilitate maintenance, but also ensure an easy management and clean environment without the need for constant intervention.

Swimming pool sensors

Sensors play a crucial role in smart solutions, as they can measure pH levels, chlorine, temperature and other essential parameters. This data is sent in real time to a mobile app or control panel, where owners can monitor and adjust as needed.

Swimming pool control systems

Integrated control systems allow the automation of various functions. For example, they can programme filtration cycles, adjust chemical levels and activate heating systems. All of this can be managed remotely via an app, providing unprecedented convenience.

Technology for spas and swimming pools

IoT (Internet of Things) technology is revolutionising pool and spa maintenance where connected devices allow for continuous monitoring and automatic adjustments, improving both efficiency and safety. In addition, these technologies can alert owners to potential problems before they become major inconveniences.

How to implement smart solutions to manage your pool or spa

Below is a detailed guide to sauna and spa maintenance, including specific steps and recommendations for each task. At Jujuju you will find all the products and services you need to keep your spaces in proper condition.

Steps for sauna maintenance

1. Surface cleaning and debris removal:

The most important step when cleaning the sauna is to remove surface dirt and loose particles.

• Step 1: Use a hoover to remove surface dirt from the floor and wooden surfaces.
• Step 2: Sweep hard-to-reach areas to remove any debris not picked up by the hoover.
• Note: Make sure that neither the hoover nor the broom scratches the wood or surfaces.

2. Scrubbing and removing dirt or sweat stains:

Then, we continue to disinfect the wooden surfaces and other components of the sauna.

• Step 1: Use a damp cloth to wipe surfaces with a high-level disinfectant, such as ‘BAC CLINIC’.
• Step 2: Spray the pure disinfectant onto the wood and leave for at least 3 minutes.
• Step 3: Wipe with a clean cloth until the disinfectant evaporates.
• Frequency: Carry out this cleaning at least once a week if the sauna is used regularly.

3. Disinfect ventilation areas and the rest of the installation:

We have to ensure the complete cleanliness of the sauna interior, including less visible areas.

• Step 1: Disinfect the seats, walls and floor of the sauna.
• Step 2: Do not forget to clean the internal accessories and fittings.
• Frequency: At least once a week for saunas in regular use.

4. Check and maintain heaters and stones:

Ensuring the correct functioning of the heating elements is an essential step to avoid dirt accumulation.

• Step 1: Check the glow plugs and stones regularly to avoid build-up of particles or dirt.
• Step 2: Clean any dirt with a brush and hot water.
• Frequency: Perform this task periodically depending on sauna usage.

The function of the stones in the sauna heater is to absorb and vaporise the water that is poured over them.

5. Scent the environment:

Last but not least, eliminate residual odours from cleaning products and use neutral scented cleaners.

• Step 1: Once cleaning is complete, use a suitable fragrance to remove chemical odours.
• Frequency: Each time a deep cleaning is performed.

Steps for the maintenance of spas

Regular cleaning and maintenance ensures a healthy environment, prevents the build-up of bacteria and germs, and ensures that all components are working properly, here is a step-by-step guide to maintaining your spa properly.

1. Ozone filtration and disinfection system

The main step is to keep the water clean and free of bacteria.

• Filtration system: Use a filtration pump to recirculate the water and trap impurities in a filter cartridge. At Jujuju we have purification pumps and electrolysis systems to control the salt in the water.
• Ozone disinfection system: Activate the ozonator to transform the oxygen in the air into ozone, eliminating bacteria.

2. Use of appropriate chemicals

Maintaining the chemical balance of the spa water is ideal to avoid skin and eye irritation, especially if it is to be used with children, as they tend to have more sensitive skin.

• Step 1: Use bromine instead of chlorine to avoid skin and eye irritation.
• Step 2: Follow the instructions in the spa-specific product kits for initial and maintenance water treatment.

3. Cleaning the acrylic and the heated lid

Clean and keep the spa surface clean and free of germs.

• Step 1: Wipe the spa acrylic after each drain with a clean, damp cloth.
• Step 2: Clean the thermal cover every 1-2 months and the side skirts every 2-4 months.

4. Emptying and storage

Beware of water stagnation when the spa is not in use for an extended period of time.

• Step 1: Empty the spa if it will not be used for more than 2 months.
• Step 2: Disconnect and properly store the components to protect them from damage.
• Important fact: If the pool will not be used for a short period of time, we recommend that you cover it during this time of disuse for less than 2 months, you can find pool covers in our shop.

Remember! Do not leave your pool uncovered for more than 2 months.

Keeping a sauna or spa clean and in good condition is essential for the health and well-being of the people who use it and increases the durability and performance of our equipment.

At Jujuju we can advise you with the best products so that you have at your fingertips clean and well-functioning spaces that ensure your comfort. Invest time in regular maintenance and fully enjoy the benefits of your sauna or spa for many years to come.
