"In late June, 2018, we hired Eric to do an inspection on our pool pump and also to put in two LED light systems where our regular lights USED to be!!! I had read, from previous people's reviews that Eric was EXTREMELY knowledgeable about pools and we DEFINITELY found that to be the case!!! Not ONLY did he seem to know EVERYTHING about pools, he explained EVERYTHING to us on how it worked, as well!!! We also found him to be honest, friendly, polite and EXTREMELY easy to work with!!! I would DEFINITELY recommend Eric to ANYONE who needs service and/or work done on their pool or spa and we will MOST DEFINITELY be calling Eric IF we have ANY pool problems in the future!!! Thank-you and God Bless you, Eric!!! Sincerely, Julie Mc., Salida, Ca."

"We had issued with our sweeper breaking down and the pool became quite dirty. Pam was able to come out right away and get our pool back in shape. She took her time and did a fantastic job going above and beyond what I expected in the quickest time! She had to come several days in a row to get the pool up to standards, she was kind enough to fit us in on top of her already busy days. Her prices were more than fair. I was so happy with her service I asked to have her come service our pool weekly. I highly recommend her service! 5 stars for sure!"
Pool and Spa Servicing questions, answered by experts
Hot tub repair costs are less expensive than purchasing a new one, especially if your warranty is still intact. You can shop for a secondhand unit or find a deal for a trade-in. If the price to repair your hot tub is higher than the cost of a new one, consider replacing your unit.
Hot tubs don’t necessarily add value to a home—but they don’t take it away either. It depends on the potential buyer. A well-landscaped in-ground hot tub is attractive to buyers who prioritize relaxation and fun. Others would rather not deal with the maintenance.
Yes, hot tubs can use a significant amount of electricity, primarily to keep the water heated. A typical hot tub uses between 1,500 and 6,000 watts, and the pump can add another 1,500 watts. This usage can result in a monthly cost of around $20 to $30. The exact amount of electricity consumed depends on several factors, including the hot tub's age, size, heater voltage (120V vs. 240V), usage habits, and thermostat setting. Newer, energy-efficient models generally use less power than older ones. To reduce electricity costs, consider investing in an energy-efficient model, using a quality insulated cover with a thermal blanket, and keeping the filters clean.
Yes, air baths are good for you. They promote relaxation, improve circulation, and can even hydrate your skin. Since they’re gentler than water jets and whirlpools, they are a good choice for a wide range of homes and users, from children to adults. You can maximize the benefits by using them regularly for stress relief and by pairing the bubble effects with calming music, low lighting or chronotherapy, aromatherapy, and other relaxation techniques.
Generally, it is more cost-effective and energy-efficient to leave your hot tub on all the time rather than turning it on and off. Reheating a hot tub from a cold temperature consumes a significant amount of energy, so maintaining a constant temperature is usually more economical, especially with frequent use.
For daily or weekly use, it's recommended to keep the water at a constant, reduced temperature, such as between 80 and 95 degrees Fahrenheit, and then increase it to your desired temperature before getting in. If you know you won't be using the hot tub for an extended period, you can lower the temperature to save on energy costs. However, if you use it very infrequently, you can turn it off completely, as long as there is no risk of the water freezing.
