"Jorge and his assistant arrived on schedule, quickly evaluated everything that needed to be done this fall, and scheduled an appointment to open the pool in the spring and do any necessary maintenance. What a great experience to have efficient service without waiting for someone (who may or may not show up)."

"Fantastic job!
The pump on our above-ground pool had stopped working and the drain hose had become disconnected while I was traveling.  This resulted in the water draining out below the skimmer and no filtering.  By the time I returned, the pool was a mess of algae and there were essentially no chemicals in the water and mosquitoes were breeding!
Josh (the owner) responded promptly to my initial call, but already had a busy schedule.  He came out within a day or two and was able to fix the hoses and pump and gave a shock treatment to start working on the algae problem.  A week later he was able to return for a longer session, and cleaned up the algae on the bottom and got the chemicals in better balance.  He also left me enough chlorine and shock treatment so that I could continue to care for the pool.
We live in the East Mountains, quite far from his place of business in the South Valley.  I truly appreciated his getting out to help us as quickly and as well as he did. He was very pleasant and very professional.  I've already scheduled him to come out and install a better arrangement for the water treatment (replace the hoses with pipes), and he'll be winterizing the pool for us when the time comes.

Pool and Spa Servicing questions, answered by experts

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’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’ property. 

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.

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’s time to use the tub again.

A hot tub cover's lifespan is typically between three and seven years, with an average of five to seven years for a well-maintained one. The quality of the cover is a major factor; lower-quality polyester or vinyl soft covers can tear easily with regular use.

To extend the life of your cover, proper maintenance is key. This includes:

  • Keeping the cover clean, dry, and out of the sun. Use a soft cloth and mild dish soap for cleaning.

  • Applying a vinyl protectant spray.

  • Cleaning the underside with a chlorine spray.

  • Using a cover lift to prevent damage from rough handling.

  • Protecting it from harsh weather.

  • Keeping children and pets off the cover.

Investing in a high-quality cover and checking for a warranty at the time of purchase can also contribute to its longevity.

Yes, air baths are good for you. They promote relaxation, improve circulation, and can even hydrate your skin. Since they’re gentler than water jets and whirlpools, they are a good choice for a wide range of homes and users, from children to adults. You can maximize the benefits by using them regularly for stress relief and by pairing the bubble effects with calming music, low lighting or chronotherapy, aromatherapy, and other relaxation techniques.
