Can I clean my hot tub filters in the dishwasher?

• <div><p>No, you cannot clean your hot tub filters in the dishwasher. While it may seem like a good idea, the dishwasher soap isn’t gentle enough for hot tub filters and can damage them. Gentle cleaning is better when cleaning the hot tub filters and keeping them intact.</p></div>

Q: How long does a hot tub cover last?

• <div><p>The average life expectancy of a hot tub cover is between five and seven years. You can extend the life of yours by keeping it clean, using a soft cloth and mild dish soap; applying a vinyl protectant spray; using a cover lift to move and fold the cover carefully, rather than treating it roughly; protecting it from harsh weather; keeping kids and pets off the cover; and cleaning the underside of the cover with a chlorine spray. Investing in a quality cover will also help it last longer and look better.</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: Does everyone need to winterize their hot tub?

• <div><p>No. In fact, some owners prefer to &ldquo;summerize&rdquo; their hot tubs and use them primarily over winter to enjoy the contrast of cold and hot water. It&rsquo;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.</p><p>However, keeping the hot tub running will require additional resources. You&rsquo;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.</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>

I had water in my basement twice in 2 years, ACCA came and put a drain along the basement wall leading to my sump pit area. They also re routed 3 of my outside guttering downspouts to keep the water from pooling in my backyard. The guys were awesome. Worked for 2 days. I highly recommend them
