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: What happens if you don’t prepare a hot tub for winter?

• <div><p>If water is left inside the hot tub pump over a cold winter, it could freeze and severely damage the pump, water lines, and jets. That can cause leaks, which require very expensive repairs. Freezing or leftover water can stain and damage the hot tub shell, which leads to replacement. Even in mild climates, leaving sitting water in the tub or pipes for a long period of unuse is a bad idea, since disinfecting chemicals fade and the water can develop bacteria, algae, and other big headaches when it&rsquo;s time to use the tub again.</p></div>

Q: Can you use silicone to repair a hot tub?

• <div><p>Yes, you can use silicone or epoxy hot tub repair kits to repair cracks in a hot tub. Always read the manual to see what the manufacturer recommends before attempting to repair a hot tub.</p></div>

Q: Is green hot tub water safe?

• <div><p>Algae-related green hot tub water is generally safe to use, as algae aren't usually harmful to your health. However, if the conditions in the hot tub are hospitable to algae growth, they may also be hospitable to the growth of other types of microorganisms, including <i>Pseudomonas aeruginosa</i>, bacteria that can cause <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/preventing-hot-tub-health-hazards.htm">hot tub rash</a>, or <i>Legionella</i> bacteria, which can cause respiratory illness.</p></div>

Q: What temp should I leave my hot tub on when not in use?

• <div><p>The general rule of thumb is to lower it by about five degrees when you know you&rsquo;re not using your hot tub for an extended period of time. With only a slight decrease in temperature, it will be easier to increase it to a desirable level when you&rsquo;re ready to get back in the water instead of starting from scratch.</p></div>

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.

"Terrible! Wish I had gone with another company. Here is the issue with Heavenly Heat. If your sauna arrives damaged or and issue arrives -- they have zero technical support. Your repairs will be done by any "joe" that heavenly heat finds to do the repair in your area. They will have no experience with Sauna's and are given no instructions regarding the chemical free aspect of these sauna's. The worst part is the buyer, me, was treated as if I was the problem for wanting my sauna repaired correctly. I would have refused the delivery had I realized I was receiving a damaged sauna and would have to spend hours and days trying to get this resolved. The owner, Bob Morgan, is extremely responsive before he has your money but after, is a different story. When inquiring about the sauna he would respond generally within 10 minutes. After you purchase, and particularly if you have a problem with it, you are treated as if you're a nuisance. My sister bought a competitors sauna around the same time and the service she received from knowledgable representatives was a world of difference from my experience. My other issue was that there were shipping delays and Bob would never communicate them. I would have to pursue him to get information. I think they make a decent sauna but I would not recommend for reasons stated above."
