No problems at all. The job actually cost less than their initial estimate. They were on time the first time. The second trip they were delayed, but called in plenty of time to inform me. I had to go to work so they came back the next morning as promised.

They replaced our pool pump one afternoon last summer. It was done by the time I got home that evening. I wanted the old pump, and they left it in the back yard as per my request. I think they gave me a bag of shock. They are nice guys. They are very busy, so it may be hard to get them out...

They were scheduled to come out, but we received a call stating that something came up and that they would need to come out the next day. Not a huge deal. They came out and spoke with my husband about everything that we wanted and needed done. He seemed concerned about the unknowns of the job...

They never were able to find and correct the problems which were a result of the original install. Instead they continued to dump salt and chemicals in the pool (and bill us for said chemicals) knowing it would do no good since we had to add water daily....a better alternative would have been to...

Pool and Spa Servicing questions, answered by experts

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’t feel overheated.

Yes, hot tubs are meant to be kept on permanently. It takes more energy to ramp up a hot tub when you turn it on, so leaving it on all the time is more efficient for your hot tub. You can turn the temperature down if you know you won’t be using it for an extended period of time to save on energy costs.

You should drain your hot tub 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.

Properly maintaining your hot tub will prevent serious issues from occurring down the road. You should replace the filter once a year, regularly look for and repair small cracks in the shell, and test the water quality every few months. You can do this yourself for less than $100 per year.

You can also hire a hot tub service to service your hot tub annually to identify problems early, which could save you money in the long run. They cost about $100 to $200 per call.

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.
