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.

Q: How many years does an outdoor hot tub last?

• <div><p>Most outdoor hot tubs last between five and 20 years, excluding inflatable tubs, which last five to seven years.

Q: Can you transport a hot tub on its side?

• <div><p>It&rsquo;s possible to move a hot tub on its side or base as long as it fits snugly in the moving truck, with plenty of padding around it. This moving method requires specialized equipment and careful planning, like <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-use-moving-straps.htm">moving straps</a>, dollies, and moving blankets.</p></div>

Q: Is it less expensive to leave a hot tub on all the time?

• <div><p>It&rsquo;s less expensive to leave your hot tub on all the time, though you&rsquo;ll want to keep it at a reduced temperature. How much you use the hot tub is also a factor. You&rsquo;ll want to keep it at a constant temperature between 80 and 95 degrees Fahrenheit for weekly or daily use, then bump it up right before you get in.

Heavenly Heat Infrared Saunas are made for the chemically sensitive. That means that our infrared saunas create an ideal, safe, and effective detoxification environment for anyone seeking to eliminate toxic substances from their body.

"I purchased a Heavenly Heat Sauna a few weeks ago . What I liked is you don?t smell any glues . I also liked its easy ( two man ) assembly. What I don?t like , in order to avoid using glues, they use pins or very thin nails. Some pins were missing and some were not beneath the surface. For the rough edges you?re provided with a small piece of sandpaper . Bot at a cost of over 5k you don?t expect to do sanding. My biggest complaint is that it takes almost an hour to get the sauna to 150 degrees. Definitely not worth the price. "

Pool and Spa Servicing questions, answered by experts

No, you cannot clean your hot tub filters in the dishwasher. While it may seem like a good idea, the dishwasher soap isn’t gentle enough for hot tub filters and can damage them. Gentle cleaning is better when cleaning the hot tub filters and keeping them intact.

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.
