Q: How often should you change the water?

• <div><p>Your hot tub manufacturer may have a recommended frequency for how often you should change the water, but most experts advise draining, cleaning, and refilling every three to four months, or seasonally. If you use it frequently, if a lot of people use the hot tub, if your dog goes in the hot tub, or if you do not clean and maintain it between water changes, you should consider changing the water even more often. You should refill it if the water becomes foamy, filmy, discolored, or smells different than usual.</p></div>

Q: How long does water feature installation take?

• <div><p>Most installations take 3-7 days, depending on design complexity and plumbing requirements.</p></div>

Q: Can you make a fountain without a pump?

• <div><p>Yes, it is possible to make a fountain without a pump, though it may seem less intuitive and will require a bit more effort to use. In lieu of an electric pump, there are a few options including hand-cranked pumps or sprinkler systems that can work to provide water for a fountain.</p></div>
