I was so excited when my apartment came with a hot tub, i had grand plans of jumping in the hot tub on cold afternoons & taking a soak in the night.
I planned it meticulously, but one night I got a bottle of wine, my book & sound doc.
I had Louis Armstrong blaring strong, the wine poured & my iPad was fully charged. I then opened up the hot tub & was instantaneously disappointed, however the water was disgusting & totally cold. I did some tinkering around & realized that the hot tub just didn’t flat out run, what was wrong with it? I ended up calling an electrician since it plugs in & uses power. That was a smart transfer on my part. The electrical system on the hot tub was shot. It needed to be totally updated in order to make it work again. While I had the electrician doing hot tub electrical service, I got the actual hot tub professional cleaned. I even bought a current cover that actually fits the hot tub too. I did some research on standard hot tub care & how to make sure I don’t blow out the electric on it like the previous homeowner did, but after all that was said & done, I now have a fully functional hot tub with working electric. It took me around 3 weeks later to do my night soak with wine, music & a book. I have to say though, it was a way more satisfying experience. I also now know what it takes to respectfully maintain a hot tub.
