How this tool works
- The base is this site's posted "Drain, clean and refill" range: a green or cloudy hot tub is normally drained, cleaned and refilled rather than shocked back.
- If the pump is not circulating or the heater is not heating, the matching repair range from the same price list is added as its own line.
- Not sure what is wrong? The diagnostic visit range is shown instead of guessing at parts.
- Every dollar figure is read from this site's own price table at build time. The contractor quotes your actual tub.

Quick answers
Can I just shock a green hot tub?
A hot tub holds only a few hundred gallons, so most pros drain it, clean the shell and filter, and refill rather than chase algae with chemicals. The estimate uses this site's drain, clean and refill range for that reason.
Why is my hot tub green?
Usually low sanitizer, a dirty filter or poor circulation. If the pump is not moving water, the green comes back after a refill, which is why the estimator asks about equipment.
