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 last?

• <div><p>Depending on the material and level of upkeep, hot tubs can last anywhere from five to 20 years. Having a professional service your hot tub once a year and addressing issues immediately will help prolong the life of your hot tub. </p></div>

Q: How long can a hot tub sit unused?

• <div><p>If your hot tub is well-maintained, covered tightly, and the water is balanced and sanitized correctly, it can remain unused for up to two weeks without significant issues. Beyond this period, the water quality may start to deteriorate, potentially leading to the growth of algae and bacteria. However, it's crucial to note that this timeline can change due to factors like water temperature, sanitation levels, and the quality of your hot tub cover. Regular maintenance and water testing are essential to ensure the water remains safe and clean during periods of inactivity.</p></div>

Q: What temp should I leave my hot tub on when not in use?

• <div><p>The general rule of thumb is to lower it by about five degrees when you know you&rsquo;re not using your hot tub for an extended period of time. With only a slight decrease in temperature, it will be easier to increase it to a desirable level when you&rsquo;re ready to get back in the water instead of starting from scratch.</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>

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...

Overall, I was happy with everything in the beginning. However, I could never get ahold of the manager in Gaylord whom sold us everything, because he was always out in the field. When they went over on the estimate I couldn't reach anyone to ask what was going on. Someone would call back a few...
