Q: Is it less expensive to leave a hot tub on all the time?

• <div><p>It&rsquo;s less expensive to leave your hot tub on all the time, though you&rsquo;ll want to keep it at a reduced temperature. How much you use the hot tub is also a factor. You&rsquo;ll want to keep it at a constant temperature between 80 and 95 degrees Fahrenheit for weekly or daily use, then bump it up right before you get in. If you don&rsquo;t plan to use your hot tub that often, you can turn it off as long as there&rsquo;s no risk of freezing. </p></div>

Q: Should I shock my hot tub every day?

• <div><p>Shocking your hot tub means adding extra chemicals to the water. Most spa experts recommend doing this once a week for proper hot tub maintenance, but you can do it more if needed. Shocking has multiple benefits, including preventing the water from becoming murky and it&rsquo;s essential in removing harmful bacteria from the water.</p></div>

Q: How many years does an outdoor hot tub last?

• <div><p>Most outdoor hot tubs last between five and 20 years, excluding inflatable tubs, which last five to seven years. High-quality, maintained tubs can last decades, while low-quality, poorly maintained tubs may not hit five years. A good warranty, professional installation, quality materials, and proper maintenance will help a tub last longer. </p></div>

Q: Can professionals diagnose and repair pool equipment issues?
