"Ben does an excellent job maintaining and servicing our pool. His dedication to excellent customer service is greatly appreciated. His attention to detail keeps our pool water crystal clear throughout the year. He is knowledgeable and very reliable. We are very please with how well Prismatic Pools takes care of our pool."
"Very professional and at the same time friendly. I am not a young person and probably need more understanding with things like pool upkeep than most pool owners. I feel that I am receiving this from Chris."
"Jay Carmody and his sons did a great job on replacing our inground poly-lined pool liner. They were sensitive to making a deadline date because of a Family Party and they delivered as promised. Along the way, they updated us with unexpected additional work for it to be a better result. We could not be happier with the outcome. Their customer service is also impeccable. Months later we had a raccoon incident where the animal scratched a hole in the liner at the waterline. They were on it and came by within 2 days and repaired the hole with the same liner pattern. Only we know there was a hole. Great work, great job and definitely a business to remember for pool repair services."
"Ron is very professional, knowledgeable, capable, and hard working. He completed all required tasks on time with top notch results. I highly recommend him."
"It was great, the pool technician was very helpful and kept us updated on what repairs were needed. He followed up after his visit to ensure we knew the next steps. 10/10 would have this technician again."
"I was very impressed how quickly he put me on his route, I broke my leg and wasn't able to care for my pool! He came right out and started getting my pool back in shape , yes I would recommend them!"

If water is left inside the hot tub pump over a cold winter, it could freeze and severely damage the pump, water lines, and jets. That can cause leaks, which require very expensive repairs. Freezing or leftover water can stain and damage the hot tub shell, which leads to replacement. Even in mild climates, leaving sitting water in the tub or pipes for a long period of unuse is a bad idea, since disinfecting chemicals fade and the water can develop bacteria, algae, and other big headaches when it’s time to use the tub again.
Regular water testing, filter cleaning, and chemical balancing are essential for keeping water clean and equipment functional.
Most hot tub motors can last between five and 10 years; however, hot tub motors can burn out sooner if the hot tub water is not maintained or if the motors themselves are not maintained or protected from the elements. Since hot tub motors (also referred to as spa pumps) power the jets and circulate the water, they are important for the functioning of your spa. Buying a quality motor, keeping the hot tub filter clean, and keeping the wet end of the motor wet and the dry end dry can help them last longer.
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.
Properly maintaining your hot tub will prevent serious issues from occurring down the road. You should replace the filter once a year, regularly look for and repair small cracks in the shell, and test the water quality every few months. You can do this yourself for less than $100 per year.
You can also hire a hot tub service to service your hot tub annually to identify problems early, which could save you money in the long run. They cost about $100 to $200 per call.
