How often should you drain a hot tub?

• <div><p>You should <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-to-drain-hot-tub.htm">drain your hot tub</a> three to four times a year to give it a thorough cleaning. This should take about an hour, but it depends on the size of your tub. </p></div>

How do you refill a hot tub after winter?

• <div><p>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. </p><p>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.</p></div>

Q: Is green hot tub water safe?

• <div><p>Algae-related green hot tub water is generally safe to use, as algae aren't usually harmful to your health. However, if the conditions in the hot tub are hospitable to algae growth, they may also be hospitable to the growth of other types of microorganisms, including <i>Pseudomonas aeruginosa</i>, bacteria that can cause <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/preventing-hot-tub-health-hazards.htm">hot tub rash</a>, or <i>Legionella</i> bacteria, which can cause respiratory illness.</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: What temperature do you keep a hot tub at when not in use?

• <div><p>You should keep your hot tub at a constant soaking temperature of around 100 degrees Fahrenheit when the hot tub is not in use. However, you can lower that by a couple of degrees during the summer, so you don&rsquo;t feel overheated.</p></div>

The service is very pricey and of poor connect speed. At $90 for 20 GB to be shared between 2 phones and our entire household internet devices, overage is a constant problem. I would probably choose satellite service instead next time.
