Can I raise the alkalinity in my hot tub?

"I actually don't know where to start. Kris came out to give us a quote on a new pool liner. Within the hour he was there he replaced our pool motor that was damaged by recent heavy rain, fixed a leak from the pool line to filter, fixed our drooping liner from the rim in several places and said we still had several years before replacing our liner. What salesman does that? When he left, my husband said did this just happen? We wanted Kris to move in and fixed everything in our house. Needless to say, we were blown away by his professionalism and experience to fix all issues. We highly recommend Kris and will definitely go to him if anything else arises."
