APSP Hot Tub Technician Manual

This new, 348-page, full-color reference manual offers a wide body of knowledge on servicing and troubleshooting manufactured hot tubs of all makes and models. In addition to compiling information from a broad variety of sources, the manual offers ways to improve technicians’ performance and efficiency. It discusses the full range of hot tub service topics, including: safety and health; customer service and other practical knowledge; structures and finishes; electrical systems; circulation, plumbing, and filtration; pumps, electric motors, and equipment systems; control systems; heaters, air blowers, and other accessories; water chemistry; maintenance, seasonal care, and hot tub covers. A glossary of hot tub terms and definitions is included.

The manual will be used as the basis of a training and certification program that is in the process of being developed for hot tub service technicians. In addition to an educational track of hot tub seminars that are already being offered at the International Pool & Spa Expo and other trade shows, the program will eventually include a comprehensive multi-day course based on the Hot Tub Technician Manual. The APSP Hot Tub Technician Manual is available now for $99 for APSP members/$199 for non-members (prices subject to change). To order the manual, contact the APSP Member Services Center (memberservices@APSP.org or 703.838.0083, ext. 301).
