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: What should you not put in a jetted tub?

• <div><p>Using bubble bath, bath oils, bath salts, or moisturizing products that contain butters or oils can damage your jetted tub. Because of the water pump and jet mechanism, you need to be more selective with products for a jetted tub than you would for a traditional bathtub in order to keep it functioning properly and avoid expensive repairs. These products also leave residue that can feed mildew and mold, so it&rsquo;s best to avoid them.</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>

Q: How long should a heater last in a hot tub?

• <div><p>Hot tub heaters typically last seven to 10 years, though some might only last five years if not properly maintained. You can maximize your hot tub heater&rsquo;s lifespan by ensuring the water&rsquo;s pH level is properly balanced. </p></div>
