"On May 17th we had Northern Comfort come to service our pool heater. We were quoted $99 to come out and $99 for diagnosis. The tech arrived and could not figure out the issue. He called Pentair tech support several times and still was unable to figure out the issue but raised the gas pressure even though that had never been an issue and nothing had changed since installation. In the end he spoke to a Pentair salesman that their company was familiar with who suggested turning a gas valve screw. It appeared to work and heater finally stayed lit. It was only after this I was told the bill was over $600. When asked what the additional $400 was for, i was told it was for "advanced" diagnostics. I guess the phone calls to Pentair? I was then told the initial diagnostic fee only covered 30 mins, and the additional time was $200 an hr. I was NOT told this before the appt and at no time did the tech tell me there was going to be an additional charge if he kept trying to figure out what was wrong. I ask to speak with the owner and was given a women on the phone who was very rude and told me never to contact the company again. I refused to pay the "advanced diagnostic " fee. Less then 24hrs later the pool heater overheated and shorted out the Stack Flue Sensor and stopped working. I have emailed the company several times and they have not responded. It now appears that their "fix" may have caused additional damage to the heater. I have been in contact with Pentair and they agree. I requested at a minimum a refund or that they return and fix the heater correctly. No response. Its very disappointing as they were recommended by a friend."

"We had the absolute best experience with Jeremy and his team and highly recommend their service. We wanted our inground pool opened in early May this year, along with a heater installation. TBTS stayed in touch with us throughout the entire process and kept to the particular date that we were looking to have the project completed. This was a new heater install, and it required a new connection to the gas mater. Brett, a contractor that works closely with TBTS, handled the connection to the meter and ran the gas line from one side of the house (meter to basement to garage to heater) to the other to reach the heater. He went over potential dangers to be aware of and demonstrated operation of the unit. The entire project was completed well before our deadline - our son's 7th birthday party. All of the guests, adults and kids, had so much fun. The pool was heated to well over 90° F. It was a warmer day in May but everyone appreciated the temperature of the pool. We're looking forward to many more years of extended swimming seasons thanks to Touched by the Sun Pools - thank you Jeremy, Brett, and Kyle!!"

"The blue bathroom is the remodel Bob did for us a year ago. He installed an up flush, macerator toilet that started to leak. It could not be repaired… too old to get parts. Interesting we only had it about a yr. It had to be replaced by a normal toilet which then involved changing plumbing. A very costly error."

Pool and Spa Servicing questions, answered by experts

In most cases, it is safe to clean a hot tub with vinegar. You will want to verify that your hot tub manufacturer lists vinegar as a safe cleaning product; however, given that vinegar is chemical-free, cleans, deodorizes, and is safe for people and pets, it is usually a good option. You can use vinegar to clean the hot tub shell, interior and exterior spa surfaces, hot tub jets, hot tub filter, and other parts. It is considered a strong, safe, and natural cleanser that can kill bacteria, remove mold and mildew spores, erase water spots, and remove hard water stains.

Depending on the material and level of upkeep, hot tubs can last anywhere from five to 20 years. Having a professional service your hot tub once a year and addressing issues immediately will help prolong the life of your hot tub.

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. 

Most hot tubs use between 1,500 watts and 6,000 watts of electricity, depending on the voltage of your heater. 120-volt heaters tip toward the low end, and 240-volt heaters tip toward the high end. Expect your pump to add another 1,500 watts. Newer, energy-efficient models use less electricity, while older models use more.

Shocking your hot tub means adding extra chemicals to the water. Most spa experts recommend doing this once a week for proper hot tub maintenance, but you can do it more if needed. Shocking has multiple benefits, including preventing the water from becoming murky and it’s essential in removing harmful bacteria from the water.
