Hot Tub Water Care Log
Keep on top of chemistry in a small volume of hot water, where readings move fast and drain-downs are on a schedule.

A free printable hot tub drain and refill record — date, reason, filter and shell condition at each drain, so the pattern is visible over the years.

See when a tub was actually last drained instead of guessing, and catch a tub that is being drained more often than it should need to be.
Hot tub and spa owners, and hosts running a tub at a holiday let.
One page, top to bottom:
Printed under the title: Every drain and refill for a hot tub or spa — the date, the reason, what the filter and shell looked like, and when the next one falls due.
Your manufacturer's interval, tracked here. How often a tub needs draining depends on its volume, how hard it is used and your manufacturer's own guidance — follow that, and use this sheet to see the pattern over time. Water chemistry between drains belongs on the Hot Tub Water Care Log.

That sheet tracks chemistry between drains — sanitiser, pH, alkalinity. This one is only about the drain-and-refill cycle itself: when it happened, why, and what the shell and filter looked like.
Keep on top of chemistry in a small volume of hot water, where readings move fast and drain-downs are on a schedule.
Track the equipment as machinery with its own service history, rather than mixing pump seals and heater faults in with water chemistry.
Run the same changeover every time, and catch damage before the next guest arrives and it becomes untraceable.
Stop measuring a clogged filter in a dark loft. Write the size down the first time, then reorder without taking the old one out.
Every sheet, binder, game and puzzle on Upkeep Papers is free to download, with no email and no account. Making them is not free: each one takes days of research, design and checking, and the site costs money to run. If something here saved you time, you can buy us a coffee. It is entirely optional: nothing is locked, and nothing changes if you don’t.
