Q: Do you need antifreeze to winterize a hot tub?

• <div><p>When your hot tub is completely dry, there is typically no need to introduce antifreeze into the plumbing. However, if you desire an extra layer of protection against potential freeze damage, you can consider adding some RV antifreeze to your hot tub lines. Just ensure that you use RV antifreeze specifically, as automotive antifreeze is highly toxic and should be avoided.</p></div>

Q: How do I prevent problems with my hot tub?

• <div><p>Properly maintaining your hot tub will <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/your-hot-tub-what-could-go-wrong.htm">prevent serious issues</a> 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.</p><p>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. </p></div>

Q: What are the cons of owning a hot tub?

• <div><p>Though a hot tub has many benefits, there are a few cons. Mainly, hot tubs require a lot of maintenance. You&rsquo;ll need to deep clean yours quarterly, test the pH at least once or twice a week, and add sanitizing chemicals once a week. They also have relatively high ongoing costs since you&rsquo;ll need to pay for electricity and repairs. </p></div>

Q: What should you not put in a jetted tub?

• <div><p>Using bubble bath, bath oils, bath salts, or moisturizing products that contain butters or oils can damage your jetted tub. Because of the water pump and jet mechanism, you need to be more selective with products for a jetted tub than you would for a traditional bathtub in order to keep it functioning properly and avoid expensive repairs. These products also leave residue that can feed mildew and mold, so it&rsquo;s best to avoid them.</p></div>

Q: Is it less expensive to leave a hot tub on all the time?

• <div><p>It&rsquo;s less expensive to leave your hot tub on all the time, though you&rsquo;ll want to keep it at a reduced temperature. How much you use the hot tub is also a factor. You&rsquo;ll want to keep it at a constant temperature between 80 and 95 degrees Fahrenheit for weekly or daily use, then bump it up right before you get in. If you don&rsquo;t plan to use your hot tub that often, you can turn it off as long as there&rsquo;s no risk of freezing. </p></div>

Very happy with the service. Dan, the pumper, was extremely conscientious and thoroughly pumped out all of the waste contents in the tank. He had his hands full because the last pumper, from 10 years ago, left some solid waste and was not so diligent. I highly recommend Fred Cook Septic.
