Q: Can a crack in a hot tub be repaired?

• <div><p>Most hot tub cracks can be repaired unless they have gone beneath the acrylic. If so, you may need a professional to determine if the crack is repairable or if you should consider hot tub replacement instead.</p></div>

Q: At what temperature will hot tub pipes freeze?

• <div><p>For a fully-foamed hot tub, freezing typically occurs when the temperature drops below 28 degrees Fahrenheit<b> </b>and remains at or below this level continuously for a minimum of 36 hours. If your hot tub and pumps are still operational, however, the water circulates, and this continuous movement helps prevent freezing, even in very cold conditions. This circulation, along with the insulation provided by the foam, helps maintain the water temperature and prevent it from freezing during extended cold periods. Still, if you&rsquo;re not planning to run it regularly, be sure to winterize the hot tub properly to prevent damage from freezing.</p></div>

Q: Does a hot tub use a lot of electricity?

• <div><p>Unfortunately, a hot tub does use a relatively large amount of electricity. In fact, much of the money you spend on your hot tub will go toward electricity costs to keep the water heated. A typical hot tub will use anywhere from 1,500 to 6,000 watts of electricity per month.</p></div>

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>

It’s easy to keep your hot tub clean and safe for all to enjoy by following a few simple tips:

Make sure anyone who uses the hot tub rinses themselves and their swimsuits off, perhaps in an outdoor shower near the hot tub.
Don’t add anything to your hot tub’s water. Bath oils and bubble bath liquids might seem like a fun addition to your hot tub experience, but these substances will turn the water in your tub foamy and its surfaces hard to clean.
