"My husband and I put in an inground pool this Summer. We were so excited but much to our surprise the plumbing wasnâ t working like we had hoped. After several failed attempts to try and get someone to help us we got ahold of Aqua Shoppe Pool and Spa! Nick was quick to respond and so helpful in fixing our plumbing issues with our pool. We will definitely be using his services again."
"I absolutely love these guys! The serviceman was super knowledgeable. It’s hard finding someone to work on spas and I’m so glad I got the best in the business"
"They did a very professional assessment and inspection of a hot tub at a newly purchased home for me. Very professional report resulted in my hiring them to completely renew and service the tub."
"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!"
"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
Though a hot tub has many benefits, there are a few cons. Mainly, hot tubs require a lot of maintenance. You’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’ll need to pay for electricity and repairs.
Keep your exterior electrical receptacles covered and dry, especially around your hot tub and pool during periods of use.
Make sure you have a GFCI (ground fault circuit interrupter) properly installed to ensure no one gets accidentally shocked or injured by electrocution.
Don’t use the hot tub or your pool during a thunderstorm.
Before using the hot tub, have a certified electrician thoroughly inspect your hot tub and its wiring to make sure you’re in full compliance with all applicable local building codes.
You should put chlorine in your hot tub on a regular basis. To keep bacteria away, keep the chlorine level in your hot tub at between 3-5 mg/l, which may mean you need to add chlorine daily or at least every two to three days. Don’t add chlorine to your hot tub water more than once per day.
How often you change the water in your swim spa depends on how often you use it. Most manufacturers recommend changing the water every three to six months. If you use your swim spa throughout the seasons, it’s a good idea to set up a quarterly deep cleaning schedule. The ideal instructions should be in the owner’s manual.
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.
