"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."

"I contacted H2O So Clean Pool and Spa Services in October as my pool heater did not seem to be working. Daniel came out and was kind enough to show me that there was no issue with my heater. He also showed me how to use it. I greatly appreciated Daniel's honesty, as if he had told me it needed parts or to be replaced, I would not have known any Several months later when I decided to upgrade my old heater, pump, and filter I contacted H2O So Clean Pool and Spa Services again. Daniel responded quickly with a quote for these items that was very competitive. He provided a detailed summary of my options and answered all of my questions promptly. I requested that Daniel come out to inspect everything and discuss any additional charges that might be necessary. Daniel came out and looked over everything and identified a couple additional items that might need to be addressed. I ultimately selected H2O So Clean Pool and Spa Services to do the work as their pricing and service was excellent. I wound up needing one more minor item replaced, and avoided a more major one as Daniel was able to make everything work without it. He even took care of a few smaller items for me - remounting my time clock, re-securing my electrical connections, and replacing some electrical connectors that had broken - as a courtesy. When he was all done he vacuumed up after himself, labeled everything with stickers, explained how the system operated to me, and made some videos for me for reference. I was very pleased with the work and will use Daniel and H2O So Clean Pool and Spa Services when I am able to upgrade to full automation for the pool and spa and any future needs."

Pool and Spa Servicing FAQs, answered by experts

A hot tub cover's lifespan is typically between three and seven years, with an average of five to seven years for a well-maintained one. The quality of the cover is a major factor; lower-quality polyester or vinyl soft covers can tear easily with regular use.

To extend the life of your cover, proper maintenance is key. This includes:

  • Keeping the cover clean, dry, and out of the sun. Use a soft cloth and mild dish soap for cleaning.

  • Applying a vinyl protectant spray.

  • Cleaning the underside with a chlorine spray.

  • Using a cover lift to prevent damage from rough handling.

  • Protecting it from harsh weather.

  • Keeping children and pets off the cover.

Investing in a high-quality cover and checking for a warranty at the time of purchase can also contribute to its longevity.

You can drain a hot tub very quickly by using a submersible pump rather than the hose-sized drain at the bottom exterior of the tub. A pump can move up to 30 gallons per minute, draining your hot tub in no time. Using the regular drain can take up to two hours.

Most hot tubs will experience leaks due to wear and tear in the plumbing or the shell itself. The second most common issue is a heater malfunction due to the ongoing heat stress on moving parts. Finally, clogs happen in hot tub jets, especially when it’s time to change the filter.

It’s easy to keep your hot tub clean and safe for all to enjoy by following a few simple tips:

  • Make sure anyone who uses the hot tub rinses themselves and their swimsuits off, perhaps in an outdoor shower near the hot tub. 

  • Don’t add anything to your hot tub’s water. Bath oils and bubble bath liquids might seem like a fun addition to your hot tub experience, but these substances will turn the water in your tub foamy and its surfaces hard to clean. 

  • Restrict eating in the tub to light snacks that you can easily clean out if there’s any spillage. Crumbs from crackers and chips can be difficult to pick up. 

  • Make it a no-pet zone. Pet fur and dander can pose a cleaning issue, but it’s also not a great idea for your pet’s health and safety. 

Where you drain a hot tub largely depends on local regulations, but you must not drain chemically treated water where it can damage the environment. Direct the water toward a sanitary sewer drain that will take it to a treatment facility. If your lawn has a dedicated drainage area that’s free from plants and foundations, you can likely drain it there. Avoid storm drains, as the hot tub water will enter waterways and could hurt aquatic life. Likewise, do not pour it out directly on any public land or where it can get into your neighbors’ property.
