Surface Cleaning
- Wipe down the edges and surfaces of the cold plunge with a clean, non-abrasive cloth.
- Check for any visible debris or dirt and remove it promptly.
Filter Inspection
- Ensure the water filter is running efficiently.
- Check for any unusual noise or decrease in water flow, indicating the filter may need cleaning or replacement.
Water Quality Check
- Test the pH and chlorine/bromine levels using test strips.
- Ideal pH range: 7.2 - 7.6.
- Chlorine: 1-3 ppm (parts per million); Bromine: 3-5 ppm.
- Adjust as necessary using chemicals designed for cold plunge use.
Deep Water Cleaning
- Use a skimmer to remove any floating debris like leaves, hair, or insects.
- Add a non-foaming algaecide to prevent algae growth.
Water Level Check
- Ensure the water level is appropriate. Top up if necessary, but do not overfill.
Water Replacement
- Depending on usage, consider draining and refilling the cold plunge with fresh water.
- Clean the interior surfaces with a mild, non-abrasive cleaner before refilling.
Inspect Plumbing and Components
- Check all hoses, fittings, and seals for leaks or wear.
- Tighten any loose connections and replace any worn-out parts.
Sanitizer System Inspection
- If using a UV or ozone system, ensure it is functioning correctly and replace any worn-out bulbs or components as needed.
Comprehensive Filter Maintenance
- Replace the filter if it shows signs of wear or after the recommended lifespan.
Full System Flush
- Drain the plunge entirely and perform a complete flush to remove any buildup in the plumbing.
- Use a system flush product designed for spas or cold plunges to remove biofilm and other contaminants.
Heater and Chiller Inspection
- Check the heating/cooling system for any issues. Ensure the thermostat is calibrated correctly.
- Clean any vents or fans associated with the unit to prevent overheating.
Electrical Component Check
- Inspect all electrical connections, looking for signs of wear, corrosion, or damage.
- Ensure the GFCI (Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter) is functioning correctly.
Professional Servicing
- Consider hiring a professional technician to inspect the entire system, especially if you notice any persistent issues.
- This inspection should cover the pump, heater/chiller, electrical systems, and overall structural integrity.
Re-sealing and Insulation
- If your cold plunge is outdoors, inspect the insulation and re-seal any joints or areas that could lead to heat loss or water leakage.
