Care and maintenance of a Hair Spa tank: professional guide
Residual water, a clogged filter or a poorly dried neck rest can quickly degrade the hygiene and comfort of the treatment. To structure your actions, consult our Hair Spa equipment care and maintenance guide, then adapt each step to your equipment.
The search “ care and maintenance of the hair spa tray » concerns both salons equipped with a connected table and professionals using a mobile unit. The objective is twofold, to preserve the quality of the customer experience and to reduce the risks of odors, deposits, slowing of flow or equipment downtime.
What actions should you take after each service?
Imagine two customers welcomed a few minutes apart. Even if the tub appears clean, the headband, shower head, headrest and controls may retain hair or cosmetic residue.
Start by draining away all the used water. Then remove any hair and visible debris, then rinse the exposed areas. Clean the bowl, edges, headrest, spray and accessible controls with a mild detergent compatible with the materials.
The targeted disinfection occurs after cleaning, when authorized by the product and the manufacturer. Follow the dilution, contact time and rinsing instructions on the label. Finally, dry the surfaces with a clean cloth, without immediately returning the wet accessories to a closed space.
Although it concerns pedicure basins, the procedure of theEPA for salons recalls a useful sequence for circulating equipment: drain, clean, disinfect, rinse and let dry. This reference must be adapted to your Hair Spa tray, its manual and the applicable local rules.
| Action | Frequency | Objective |
|---|---|---|
| Empty the used water | After each treatment | Limit stagnation and residue |
| Clean surfaces | After each client | Remove visible dirt |
| Dry the tank and accessories | After each cleaning | Reduce residual humidity |
| Check filters and pipes | Every week | Prevent slowdowns |
How to choose products and avoid mistakes?
A very powerful product is not necessarily suitable for your tank. A tank can combine ceramic, acrylic, technical plastic, painted metal, vinyl or coated textile. Each surface reacts differently to solvents, abrasives and oxidizing agents.
Choose a gentle, non-abrasive cleaner that is compatible with the material in question. Avoid metal sponges, scouring powders and brushes that are too stiff. Never mix several products, especially a chlorinated product with an acidic product.
In 2026, INRS recommendations remind that disinfection must follow a risk assessment. It remains effective only after appropriate cleaning, and the products used can expose professionals if they are mishandled.
Before first use, always test the product on an inconspicuous area. Check for discoloration, tarnishing, cracking or changes in texture. If you wish to centralize your references, you can consult our spa maintenance product, respecting its instructions and compatibility with your model.
Does the protocol change depending on the type of tank?
A connected living room and a cabin equipped with a mobile unit do not follow exactly the same organization. The difference mainly concerns water management, evacuation and access to components.
| Checked point | Connected tray | Autonomous block |
|---|---|---|
| Installation | Water inlets and drainage required | Integrated tank and electrical outlet |
| Main interview | Flow, drainage, connections and joints | Tanks, filter and drain |
| Common risk | Leak under the tank or slow evacuation | Standing water or full waste water tank |
| Organization | Checking connections and plumbing | Scheduled filling, emptying and drying |
For a connected table, regularly check the flow rate, the hoses, the drainage and the absence of leaks under the tank. If your space does not already have a compatible tank, provide a cold water supply, a hot water supply and a wastewater disposal.
For a stand-alone model, completely empty the clean water tank at the end of the day. Clean the waste water tank, its filter and the drain accessories separately. The mobile blocks in our range work with an integrated 60 liter tank, which avoids a fixed connection, but requires a precise routine.
How to maintain filters, nozzles and pipes?
A tank can have an impeccable surface while still having deposits in its pipes. Hair, oils, care products and minerals can gradually reduce the flow rate or change the operation of the pump.
Every week, inspect accessible pipes. Look for signs of leaks, whitish deposits, unusual odors, cracks and slowdowns. Remove filters only if the manual clearly describes the procedure, then rinse them with moderate pressure.
Circuits equipped with an arch, jets or fumigation require special attention. Do not circulate a descaler or disinfectant product in a closed system without validation from the manufacturer. Excessive concentration may damage certain joints, metals or coatings.
Care equipment and its components must follow the manufacturer's instructions. The recommendations of the CDC on equipment maintenance also insist on cleaning after use and using products in accordance with their labels.
To simplify the replacement of a worn element, you can consult our Head Spa sink filter. However, check the reference, dimensions and compatibility before ordering.
What maintenance should be planned each week and each month?
Routine maintenance protects immediate hygiene. A preventive maintenance allows wear to be identified before a breakdown or service interruption.
Every week, flush accessible filters and inspect lines. Also check the jets, hand shower, pump, casters, handles, screws and moving parts. Examine the cables without bending or moving them unnecessarily.
Every month, carry out a complete oil change when the model provides for it. Clean the tanks, check the joints and check the evacuation points. Descaling must use a product compatible with the device and respect the contact time indicated.
Record operations in a simple logbook. Note the date, name of person, filter checked, product used and any anomalies observed. This traceability facilitates recovery by another member of the team and speeds up the diagnosis.
What to do in the event of noise, odor or breakdown?
A new noise, a persistent odor, a drop in flow rate, irregular heating or a circuit breaker that trips are warning signals. Turn off the appliance and unplug it before any external inspection.
Limit your checks to accessible elements provided for in the manual. You can look for a clogged filter, poorly positioned tank, visible leak, or insufficient water level. Never disassemble a pump, electrical box or live circuit.
The installation manual supplied with our equipment helps to check the installation and accessible connections. Our team can also answer installation-related questions. For technical intervention, contact the supplier or a qualified professional rather than attempting an improvised repair.
Our tables, machines and included accessories benefit from a one-year manufacturer's warranty. The exact support conditions must be checked depending on the product, the part concerned and the nature of the problem.
A regular routine for reliable equipment
Maintenance of the Hair Spa tank is based on a constant sequence: drain, clean, disinfect when warranted, rinse and dry. Filters, pipes, tanks, joints and connections then require periodic checks. Always adapt the products and frequencies to the installed model, the water hardness and the manufacturer's instructions. This method protects the quality of care, the availability of equipment and the comfort of your customers.
Equip your space with the right pieces
A well-implemented protocol remains simpler when filters, seals and accessories are accessible. The type of bin also matters, because a connected table and an independent mobile unit do not require the same daily organization.
We offer Head Spa equipment with connection and stand-alone mobile solutions, as well as parts to maintain your installation in good condition. To replace a worn element or prepare your maintenance stock, consult our Spare parts for Hair Spa tray.
