Specialised Spa Servicing and Mechanical Repairs

Most spa owners find a professional service every 3–4 months works well, with more frequent visits if the spa is used heavily, in a holiday rental, or part of a commercial facility. Between services, you’ll still need to test the water regularly, clean the filters, and keep the cover and shell clean to stop problems building up.

“Spa servicing” generally means a full health check for your spa, not just a quick clean. A typical service with Direct Pool Supplies can include:

• Testing and balancing water chemistry (pH, alkalinity, sanitiser, etc.) 
• Cleaning or replacing spa filters and checking circulation
• Inspecting pumps, heaters, blowers and controls for correct operation
• Checking for leaks, unusual noises or error codes
• Setting or fine-tuning your heating and filtration run times

The aim is to keep the spa safe, comfortable and ready to use with minimal hassle.

Common spa services include:

• Routine spa servicing – water balance, filter clean and equipment check
• Deep spa cleaning – draining, cleaning the shell and jets, and refilling with fresh water 
• Spa equipment repairs and replacement – pumps, heaters, blowers, controllers and spa filters 
• Commercial spa servicing – regular programs for hotels, strata and public facilities to meet hygiene and safety expectations

Yes – DIY care is important, but professional servicing is the safety net. Regular home testing, topping up chemicals and rinsing filters will keep things ticking over, while a technician visit checks the parts you can’t easily see: pump performance, heater operation, control faults, slow leaks and early signs of scale or corrosion. Direct Pool Supplies’ spa technicians are set up for expert diagnostics and can often fix small issues before they turn into expensive breakdowns.

As a general guide, most residential spas should be drained, cleaned and refilled every 3–6 months, depending on how many people use it and how often. Heavy use, lots of bathers, cosmetics or poor water balance can mean you need to change the water more frequently. Australian spa guides commonly recommend staying within this 3–6 month window to keep water fresh and easier to balance.

Absolutely. Direct Pool Supplies offers professional residential spa servicing as well as specialised commercial spa servicing for hotels, strata complexes and public facilities. Commercial spas are serviced with a focus on higher bather loads, stricter hygiene expectations and consistent, documented water quality.
