"Tyler from Central Ohio Pool and Spa is great! Nothing but good things to say about his work, and I will definitely be hiring him again for anything I need done to my pool or any of the equipment."
"Mike got us out of a jam - we needed an emergency repair just before a holiday and the spa dealer had a two week lead time. He called me back promptly, showed up on time, completed the repair, gave me an explanation and recommended a maintenance plan to prevent another failure. Well done."
"Eric did a TREMENDOUS job with closing my pool. As a first time pool-owner, Eric took time to explain details and his process to me. I will be hiring him when it's time to re-open the pool next year! I HIGHLY recommend Eric for your next pool project of any kind!"
"First time owning a hot tub... The owner gave us a one-page document with everything we needed to know! The repair was pretty expensive compared to other sites but I guess we paid for the labor to have it done that day."
"It was great, the pool technician was very helpful and kept us updated on what repairs were needed. He followed up after his visit to ensure we knew the next steps. 10/10 would have this technician again."
Pool and Spa Servicing questions, answered by experts
A hot tub cover's lifespan is typically between three and seven years, with an average of five to seven years for a well-maintained one. The quality of the cover is a major factor; lower-quality polyester or vinyl soft covers can tear easily with regular use.
To extend the life of your cover, proper maintenance is key. This includes:
Keeping the cover clean, dry, and out of the sun. Use a soft cloth and mild dish soap for cleaning.
Applying a vinyl protectant spray.
Cleaning the underside with a chlorine spray.
Using a cover lift to prevent damage from rough handling.
Protecting it from harsh weather.
Keeping children and pets off the cover.
Investing in a high-quality cover and checking for a warranty at the time of purchase can also contribute to its longevity.
Most hot tub motors can last between five and 10 years; however, hot tub motors can burn out sooner if the hot tub water is not maintained or if the motors themselves are not maintained or protected from the elements. Since hot tub motors (also referred to as spa pumps) power the jets and circulate the water, they are important for the functioning of your spa. Buying a quality motor, keeping the hot tub filter clean, and keeping the wet end of the motor wet and the dry end dry can help them last longer.
Most hot tubs will experience leaks due to wear and tear in the plumbing or the shell itself. The second most common issue is a heater malfunction due to the ongoing heat stress on moving parts. Finally, clogs happen in hot tub jets, especially when it’s time to change the filter.
If you want to have a chemical-free spa, or if you are wondering how to keep your hot tub clean naturally, there are several options. Some individuals choose to run their hot tub without treatment at all and simply clean it more often (although you risk bacteria, fungi, and algae growth if you take this route); others use natural products like vinegar or Borax. Ozone, ultraviolet light, and electrolysis systems are also eco-friendly ways to have a clean hot tub without chemicals. Saltwater hot tubs are popular with people who are sensitive to chlorine, bromine, and other traditional hot tub chemicals.
Yes, hot tubs can use a significant amount of electricity, primarily to keep the water heated. A typical hot tub uses between 1,500 and 6,000 watts, and the pump can add another 1,500 watts. This usage can result in a monthly cost of around $20 to $30. The exact amount of electricity consumed depends on several factors, including the hot tub's age, size, heater voltage (120V vs. 240V), usage habits, and thermostat setting. Newer, energy-efficient models generally use less power than older ones. To reduce electricity costs, consider investing in an energy-efficient model, using a quality insulated cover with a thermal blanket, and keeping the filters clean.
