Spring Pollen Season: Protecting Your Hot Tub in Coastal NC

Spring Pollen Season is a real challenge for Cape Fear owners, and staying ahead of it is what good hot tub maintenance is all about. If you’d rather skip the chemistry, our team handles it on a flat monthly plan.

Here’s what to know and do.

Pollen and your hot tub

Cape Fear springs blanket everything in yellow-green pollen, and an uncovered or poorly sealed hot tub becomes a pollen trap that clouds water and clogs filters.

Getting through pollen season

• Keep the cover on and sealed between uses.
• Rinse the cover top so pollen doesn’t wash in.
• Rinse filters more often during peak weeks.
• Skim and clarify if pollen gets in.

A little diligence in spring saves a lot of filter cleaning.
