"I used to perform most of my own pool maintenance including chemicals, filter cleaning and fixing equipment such as pool sweepers so I understand what goes into a pool service. Unfortunately with an ailing back and some long work hours, I hired Luis to take over my DE filter cleaning. That was 8 years ago and since he has replaced 2 different pool pumps and installed a new DE filter. I cannot be happier with the service that he provides. Luis is a hard working, honest individual but most importantly he has expert knowledge and deep experience with pool maintenance and repairs. I highly recommend R1 Pools as your next pool company."

"Jose Is amazing! I had a previous pool cleaning service company handle my pool and they were no where near as good as Jose. Jose was able to find the leak in my pool when others couldnt. Highly recommended Jose! He makes the pool water crystal clear and clean! Amazing work!"

"I have used Donald Baker Spa Repair & Service twice now (different issues) and remain very impressed with the service. Sam is very responsive and knowledgeable. He calls the day before to confirm the appointment and arrives during the scheduled time. It was raining lightly during the most recent visit but he continued with the appointment cheerfully. He quickly diagnoses the problem and completes expert repairs. He always explains and shows you the issue at hand. He has a deep knowledge of the different spa models reaching back many years and he is always professional and courteous. I will be calling him for all future repairs/services needed and highly recommend his services."

"I called them to the startup for my new pool. Came out amazing. I have used several pool service companies before, never met someone so knowledgeable in chemistry. Opened my eyes to certain issues I had before that I had no idea what were causing them. Joseph is great, a chemistry genius"

"We are very happy with our decision to hire Vik’s Pool Service. The person doing our pool is the best. He’a very diligent and very professional. Our pool has never looked so clean. With our former pool guy, we were led to believe the problem was our pool. It turned out all we have to do is hire a new pool guy. We’re happy to have found Vik’s."

Pool and Spa Servicing questions, 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.

To refill a hot tub after winter, start by opening up the tub and giving it a quick cleaning. If you use antifreeze, drain out the water then grab a hose and thoroughly clean the tub shell out, spraying water into each jet of the tub. 

Reconnect the hot tub and turn the power back on. When it’s time to fill the tub again, insert the hose into the filter well (if available). Avoid trapping too much air in the water lines, which can cause the pump to lock up when it starts again. Add the necessary chemicals and start the heating process. It will take some time—most of a full day—for the water to heat up again.

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.

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.

When your hot tub is completely dry, there is typically no need to introduce antifreeze into the plumbing. However, if you desire an extra layer of protection against potential freeze damage, you can consider adding some RV antifreeze to your hot tub lines. Just ensure that you use RV antifreeze specifically, as automotive antifreeze is highly toxic and should be avoided.
