Q: How much does hot tub maintenance cost?

• <div><p><a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/hot-tub-maintenance-cost.htm">Hot tub maintenance can cost</a> between <b>$240 and $900</b> annually. These costs include deep cleaning the tub, refilling the tub several times a year, and keeping the water's chemical balance. Keeping up with regular maintenance and cleaning tasks can help to keep your costs down, as you'll avoid more complicated and expensive repairs.</p></div>

Q: What happens if you don’t prepare a hot tub for winter?

• <div><p>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&rsquo;s time to use the tub again.</p></div>

Q: Is a saltwater hot tub worth it?

• <div><p>Many people find saltwater tubs worth the upfront expense. They cost less to maintain than traditional hot tubs, so you can save in the long term. Maintenance is also easier, typically involving balancing the pH and cleaning the tub rather than adding chemicals. They&rsquo;re also gentler on sensitive skin, and you won&rsquo;t walk away with a strong chlorine odor.</p></div>

Q: How much electricity does a hot tub use?

• <div><p>Most hot tubs use between 1,500 watts and 6,000 watts of electricity, depending on the voltage of your heater. 120-volt heaters tip toward the low end, and 240-volt heaters tip toward the high end. Expect your pump to add another 1,500 watts. Newer, energy-efficient models use less electricity, while older models use more.</p></div>

Was called to fix water leak in main line of sprinkler system and all they did was change some sprinkler heads. Charged me a a thousand dollars to change a few sprinkler heads and never fixed the water leak. Will never recommend them to anyone or use their services again.
