Q: Are hot tubs expensive to maintain?

• <div><p>Most newer hot tubs are not expensive to maintain. Hot tub maintenance costs about <b>$500 to $1,000</b> per year. You can DIY, but a pro can clean and treat your hot tub with chemicals and save you time. The biggest hot tub expenses are heating and repairs, but you can preserve your investment with regular maintenance.</p></div>

Q: What happens if I don’t clean my hot tub filters?

• <div><p>If you don&rsquo;t clean your hot tub filters, they&rsquo;ll build up dirt and grime, preventing them from filtering out contaminants like dirt and bacteria. The dirty water will then circulate through the filter and back into the hot tub, leading to dirty water, a damaged pump and jets, and low heat. This can lead to higher <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-much-does-hot-tub-cost.htm">hot tub costs</a> because you may have to pay for repairs.</p></div>

Q: How long can a hot tub sit unused?

• <div><p>If your hot tub is well-maintained, covered tightly, and the water is balanced and sanitized correctly, it can remain unused for up to two weeks without significant issues. Beyond this period, the water quality may start to deteriorate, potentially leading to the growth of algae and bacteria. However, it's crucial to note that this timeline can change due to factors like water temperature, sanitation levels, and the quality of your hot tub cover. Regular maintenance and water testing are essential to ensure the water remains safe and clean during periods of inactivity.</p></div>

Q: What temperature do you keep a hot tub at when not in use?

• <div><p>You should keep your hot tub at a constant soaking temperature of around 100 degrees Fahrenheit when the hot tub is not in use. However, you can lower that by a couple of degrees during the summer, so you don&rsquo;t feel overheated.</p></div>

I didn't know this guy, and he took time to understand what I needed. He didn't oversell me on something I didn't need. He went out of his way to make it happen. I paid him for what he said he was going to do. He delivered and so did I. I'd recommend Gerald and his company. You get what you pay...
