Q: Where should you drain a hot tub?

• <div><p>Where you drain a hot tub largely depends on local regulations, but you must not drain chemically treated water where it can damage the environment. Direct the water toward a sanitary sewer drain that will take it to a treatment facility. If your lawn has a dedicated drainage area that&rsquo;s free from plants and foundations, you can likely drain it there. Avoid storm drains, as the hot tub water will enter waterways and could hurt aquatic life. Likewise, do not pour it out directly on any public land or where it can get into your neighbors&rsquo; property. </p></div>

Q: What happens if you don’t prepare a hot tub for winter?

• <div><p>If water is left inside the hot tub pump over a cold winter, it could freeze and severely damage the pump, water lines, and jets. That can cause leaks, which require very expensive repairs. Freezing or leftover water can stain and damage the hot tub shell, which leads to replacement. Even in mild climates, leaving sitting water in the tub or pipes for a long period of unuse is a bad idea, since disinfecting chemicals fade and the water can develop bacteria, algae, and other big headaches when it&rsquo;s time to use the tub again.</p></div>

Q: Can a crack in a hot tub be repaired?

• <div><p>Most hot tub cracks can be repaired unless they have gone beneath the acrylic. If so, you may need a professional to determine if the crack is repairable or if you should consider hot tub replacement instead.</p></div>

Q: Can I use vinegar to clean hot tub filters?

• <div><p>Vinegar can be used as an all-purpose cleaner for many things, including hot tub filters. Soaking hot tub filters in vinegar and water for up to 24 hours can remove dirt and oil, and as a bonus, it won&rsquo;t cause the water to foam after you reinstall it if there&rsquo;s vinegar left on it. But make sure you still rinse it to remove any debris, dirt, or grime stuck on it.</p></div>

Q: What is the best thing for cleaning a hot tub?

• <div><p>The best thing with which to clean a hot tub is whatever the manufacturer recommends; in most cases, this is a gentle surface cleaner and a soft cloth. Recommended hot tub cleaners can include specially formulated cleaning agents, mild dish soap, baking soda, vinegar, or diluted bleach. For your hot tub exterior, choose wood or vinyl cleaner (depending on the casing material).</p><p>You should never use household cleaning products, harsh chemicals such as undiluted bleach or acids, or abrasive cleansers or cloths, as these can scratch or etch your hot tub&rsquo;s coating or shell and cause permanent damage.</p></div>

I didn't like or trust the company I used to clean the pool during the season so I called Aquarius to see if they could only close the pool down for the winter. I spoke to Eric and he was very helpful. He closed the pool and I plan on hiring him for next season.

"Never work with this company. We hired Aaron and team to paint our main room and remodel 2 1/2 bathrooms. It took them 5 1/2 months and resulted in us loosing rental income (because they were not done on time). They were done in May and our contract said they would be done in Jan/Feb. The owner was combative, belligerent and never available. We have texts from him that just make my blood boil because the way he talked to us was so inappropriate. The quality of work was horrible. They installed mis-matched tile (and didn't think we would notice), the vanity drawers are uneven and cheap, there were unpatched holes in the ceiling, they left bags over smoke detectors, and every bathroom fixture was falling off the wall because they forgot to install set screws. He treated our house like it was a dumpster. We are so disappointed with the finished product. We hope no one has to endure what we did working with Corolla PPP and Aaron."
