"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"

Customers say: Quality work

"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

No. In fact, some owners prefer to “summerize” their hot tubs and use them primarily over winter to enjoy the contrast of cold and hot water. It’s possible to keep the tub filled and running year-round, and some pros may even recommend this method compared to the work and risks of a full winterization every year.

However, keeping the hot tub running will require additional resources. You’ll use more power and more chemicals to keep it in good shape. Weigh the pros and cons of your situation before making a decision.

Hot tub heaters typically last seven to 10 years, though some might only last five years if not properly maintained. You can maximize your hot tub heater’s lifespan by ensuring the water’s pH level is properly balanced.

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.

Hot tub maintenance can cost between $500 and $1,000 annually. These costs typically cover deep cleaning the tub, refilling it several times a year, and maintaining the water's chemical balance. While you can perform maintenance yourself, a professional can clean and treat your hot tub with chemicals to save you time. The biggest expenses are often heating and repairs, but regular maintenance can help you avoid more complicated and costly repairs and preserve your investment.

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.
