    Tuscaloosa Hot Tub Maintenance: Frequently Asked Questions

    How high does a pool fence need to be in Tuscaloosa?

    Tuscaloosa adopted the 2021 International Swimming Pool and Spa Code (City Code Sec. 6-118). Sec. 6-119 amends Section 305.2.1 so barriers must be 72 inches above grade to meet zoning within the corporate limits. That is taller than the ISPSC base text of 48 inches. The city's permit page says pools over 2 ft deep need a permit, so confirm the details with the City before building.

    Do Tuscaloosa pools and hot tubs need freeze protection?

    Yes, occasionally. NOAA 1991 to 2020 normals at Tuscaloosa Regional Airport put the median last spring freeze on March 16 and the median first fall freeze on November 12, with about 48 nights a year at or below 32F. Hot tubs, fountains and exposed equipment lines should be protected on those freezing nights.

    Does Tuscaloosa tap water already contain chlorine?

    Yes. Tuscaloosa Water uses chlorine and chlorine dioxide as disinfectants, with chlorine up to 2.4 mg/L in the distribution system according to its 2026 annual report covering 2025 monitoring. Fresh fill water in a pool or hot tub still needs testing and balancing before use.

    Can you service a hot tub that has been left unused?

    Yes. A tub that has been standing usually needs the water drained, the shell and jets cleaned, the filters cleaned or replaced and the system checked before it is refilled and rebalanced. It is worth having the equipment inspected at the same time, because pumps and heaters are where problems from a long idle period tend to show up first.

    Do you check the jets and equipment as well as the water?

    Yes. A service includes checking jet performance, pumps and the heater, because a sticking heater or a failing pump is far easier to deal with when it is caught early.

    Jason, Alex and Patrick went way beyond reasonable expectations to locate an intermittent leak in our pool. Always friendly polite and informative, tons of high tech equipment, really glad I hired them for this. Don't hesitate to call them for any pool issues you might have!

    Dave Trimmer ★★★★★

    I have struggled for years with mustard algae in my pool… I am kicking myself for not calling Puddle Pools years ago. I can’t say enough about the customer service that I have received. Jason and his team go above and beyond at every opportunity. If you are looking for hassle, free pool service, Crystal, Clearwater, and a great overall customer service experience you found the right company.

    Zach Teneyck ★★★★★

    If you are looking for a professional pool service that is knowledgeable, reliable, and amazing to deal with look no further than Jason and his team at puddle! They show up and get the job done! We have full confidence in their team! I couldn’t recommend looking at any other pool company!

    TRob205 ★★★★★

    As a DIYer and first time pool owner I was concerned with making the right decision for pool services. I didnt want a company that saw me and my home as just another customer or worse, just a dollar sign. From my first interaction and service with Jason and his team I knew I made the right choice. They took their time with my pool and made sure I had visibility into the state of my pool, any observed issues and what I could do to keep it running. After several weeks I noticed I was losing a large amount of water in pool and could not find the cause. When I notified Puddle about my issue and asked them to not clean until I found the issue, that wasn't good enough for them. I talked with them about what I was doing to find the leak and instead of seeing me as an opportunity to sell something they talked with me about where I should focus my search. Ultimately, I never found the leak on my own. I asked Puddle to help and they jumped right in, literally, to quickly pinpoint the issue and get it resolved. If you're in the market for pool services and are on the fence, this is the place for you.

    Matthew Hatcher ★★★★★

    Absolutely recommend this company. From getting my green pool to clean and now weekly cleanings they have been amazing. I get a text when they finish each week with what they have done. I couldn' be happier with the decision to use Puddle. Jason and his team are amazing and very professional

    Mark Duncan ★★★★★

    Wow. Jason and his team are the best around for all your pool needs. We have had multiple people work on the pool over the years and no one has taken care of it like Puddle. We were constantly losing water and brought it up to our old pool guys and they blew us off. We saw a sign for Puddle and they had the pool in top shape and the leak detected and fixed immediately. They are the best around and extremely affordable!

    When we first switched over to Puddle, we were just hoping for better than our last pool service company, but Jason and his team have been accommodating and kind and have proven that they take pride in their work! They take their time to make sure everything gets checked, cleaned, brushed, etc and keep us updated after each service with exactly what was done. We are very happy customers!

    Diane Pigg ★★★★★

    I am so impressed with the service quality, friendliness, value, and promptness that I received from Jason and Casey at Puddle pool service. By far, they have been my best pool service experience- and I have tried several local companies.

    Jennifer Skinner ★★★★★

    I recently purchased a home with a pool. Closing it for the first time has been a challenge. I initially worked with a different pool company and they basically told me my pool could not be closed and I had to run the pumps during freezing weather (after charging me to close it). Casey from Puddle came out and took the time to research the challenging features in my pool and helped me to get it closed. They offered superior customer support at reasonable prices. Based on my experience this year I can definitely say not all pool companies are created equal and I would highly recommend Puddle Pools above others in the Tuscaloosa area.

    Casey Giddens ★★★★★

    Great owner, and a technician with 15 years of experience. Glad Puddle came to Birmingham and Central Alabama!

    Jared Smith ★★★★★
