"This place has terrible customer service and doesn't care about small pool purchases (they only prioritize big projects). As of May 14, 2020, I paid (down payment) for a 16' pool from Russo's Pools. I was told my pool would be installed in July 2020. The installer was to go out to look at the site within 1 week. They never did. I called and got no one, only leaving a message or the phone just ringing. This was all last summer 2020 with no communication. I contacted Russo's pool in March 2021 and was told they didn't have my pool nor had any idea what happened. They have given me the run-around since. I was told the installer would call me, and week after week, they did not. Not until I asked to speak to the owner that the installer called me, stating he had JUST gotten my number. The owner discussed them obtaining and installing an 18' pool to make things right. Anthony Russo is now stating he never said that; he says he only said he would look into it. All discussions about pool and site were about 18'. Even the assistant I have been talking to this week has been checking deliveries for the 18' pool and working on getting one. Anthony Russo says he can't do that, and I am here 334 days later and NO pool."

"I hired this contractor for a bathtub repair, and while the initial work seemed okay, the results didn’t last. Within a couple of months, the paint started chipping. I contacted AP Refinishing and scheduled a time for a follow-up repair, but the contractor never showed up and has since ignored all my calls. Completely unprofessional and a waste of money. I strongly recommend looking elsewhere—save yourself the frustration."

Various pool types can support hot tub additions, though installation methods will differ. Concrete pools provide the most flexibility for integrated designs, while vinyl and fiberglass pools may require specific approaches to maintain their structural integrity. Aboveground hot tubs offer versatile solutions for any pool type, as they don't require integration with existing pool systems. Consulting a pro is essential to determine the most appropriate installation method for your specific situation.
The value of premium features depends entirely on your preferences. High-end jet systems, advanced control panels, and enhanced insulation can improve your experience and potentially reduce operating costs through better energy efficiency. However, these upgrades substantially increase your initial investment. Consider how frequently you'll use your hot tub and which features will genuinely enhance your experience before committing to luxury options.
A hot tub addition increases monthly electricity costs by $20 to $50. Factors affecting this include your climate, usage frequency, temperature settings, and insulation quality. Consistently using an insulated cover, maintaining lower temperatures when the hot tub is not in use, and selecting energy-efficient models can help minimize ongoing expenses. Regular maintenance also ensures systems operate at peak efficiency, preventing unnecessary energy consumption.
While these terms are often used interchangeably, they traditionally refer to different installations. A hot tub describes a self-contained unit with its own heating and filtration systems, while a spa refers to an in-ground feature integrated with a pool's circulation system. Spas share water treatment systems with the connected pool and are constructed from matching materials. This distinction helps explain why in-ground spas cost more to install but may be more economical to operate when combined with pool systems.
