"Southland Pool & Spa‘s did a fantastic job on my new pool and spa. Jim stayed in constant communication with his crew and was always on top of the project progress. He is very knowledgeable and offered many great recommendations on the design and features that we should include, and we are so glad we took him up on his suggestions because the pool is absolutely beautiful and very functional.Jim completed the project on time and right on budget. From the initial permitting on through digging, plumbing, electrical, plaster and deck installation, everything ran smoothly. We have now enjoyed three seasons with the pool and our entire family could not be happier! I would highly recommend Jim and his company for any pool or spa needs."

"Ogre Dan is a new pool and spa service company, but Dan personally has been servicing my pool for the last 5 years. When I learned he went out on his own and started his own pool and spa service company, I chose to change companies and go with Ogre Dan’s. He is hard working, responsible, reliable, and extremely knowledgeable. His monthly service price is very competitive."

"David made a great impression immediately at our consultation. Then his price for weekly pool service was better than the one we had previously used, and he clearly showed knowledge of how to care for our specific pool. We are happy to see him every week, and our pool looks great. And our Corgi is always happy to see him too!"

Pool and Spa Servicing FAQs, answered by experts

Biofilm growth can cause a hot tub to feel slimy. Hot tub biofilm is a slimy substance that’s typically due to natural contaminants like makeup, soaps, skin oils, deodorants, or lotions. A hot tub can also have a slimy interior or slimy water if the tub’s filters are old or damaged, or if the hot tub isn’t properly cleaned. You should drain your hot tub, wipe away any slimy residue, then refill the water and use a spa purge product that prevents the buildup of biofilm.

If you don’t clean your hot tub filters, they’ll build up dirt and grime, preventing them from filtering out contaminants like dirt and bacteria. The dirty water will then circulate through the filter and back into the hot tub, leading to dirty water, a damaged pump and jets, and low heat. This can lead to higher hot tub costs because you may have to pay for repairs.

The best thing with which to clean a hot tub is whatever the manufacturer recommends; in most cases, this is a gentle surface cleaner and a soft cloth. Recommended hot tub cleaners can include specially formulated cleaning agents, mild dish soap, baking soda, vinegar, or diluted bleach. For your hot tub exterior, choose wood or vinyl cleaner (depending on the casing material).

You should never use household cleaning products, harsh chemicals such as undiluted bleach or acids, or abrasive cleansers or cloths, as these can scratch or etch your hot tub’s coating or shell and cause permanent damage.

For a fully-foamed hot tub, freezing typically occurs when the temperature drops below 28 degrees Fahrenheit and remains at or below this level continuously for a minimum of 36 hours. If your hot tub and pumps are still operational, however, the water circulates, and this continuous movement helps prevent freezing, even in very cold conditions. This circulation, along with the insulation provided by the foam, helps maintain the water temperature and prevent it from freezing during extended cold periods. Still, if you’re not planning to run it regularly, be sure to winterize the hot tub properly to prevent damage from freezing.

Yes. If you test the water and the alkalinity is too low, you can raise it by adding an alkalinity increaser, which likely came with your hot tub’s chemical kit. In a pinch, you can use baking soda to raise the hot tub’s alkalinity. Raising the alkalinity will prevent the hot tub water from becoming too acidic.
