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: 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: 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 are the most common problems with hot tubs?

• <div><p>Most hot tubs will experience leaks due to wear and tear in the plumbing or the shell itself. The second most common issue is a heater malfunction due to the ongoing heat stress on moving parts. Finally, clogs happen in hot tub jets, especially when it&rsquo;s time to change the filter. </p></div>

Q: How long does a hot tub motor last?

• <div><p>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.</p></div>

We found an old pool slide that was in decent shape but was somewhat uncared for over the past two years. Level One helped us price it (fairly for both parties) and then walked us through getting the best flanges and gear to set it up for our deck. Then they gave us ideas to run the water line...

Where to start? Well, I was hung up on by the secretary for "Bob." That is, she answered the phone, and hung up immediately without saying anything. So I called back, and was told she didn't want to talk to me. Why, you ask? Simple. I was inquiring about why I was told my pool would be open by...
