Q: Can professionals diagnose and repair pool equipment issues?

• <div><p>Yes, they provide full-service inspections, identifying and resolving any potential equipment problems.</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: 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>

Q: Can you repair a hot tub yourself?

• <div><p>Whether you can repair a hot tub depends on the severity of the problem and the location. With the right tools and knowledge, you can fix problems like small leaks or switching out a dirty filter. However, electrical and plumbing issues require a licensed professional due to the inherent risk, particularly when mixing water with electricity.</p></div>
