Business is for the dogs The Daily News Online

BATAVIA — This is what Batavia’s newest daycare center looks like:

It’s housed in an old factory, with concrete walls and concrete floors.

Two rooms are separated by four-feet tall wood partitions. A small bed is in each room, along with one full-size sofa, two loveseats and a lounge chair tucked in the corner of the smaller room.

The center also has a full-sized porcelain tub that is built into a wall and sits about three feet off the ground, perfect for an adult to stand and easily give baths.

Best of all, there are no cages.

If that’s not enticing enough, owner Jennifer Goss also offers this:

“We’ll tire them out so when you get home from a long day at work you won’t have to take them for a walk,” she said. “You can just relax and snuggle with them.”

Goss’s business is believed to be a first for Batavia: A daycare center strictly for dogs.

She officially opened Dog Crazy Daycare Center and Spa Monday.

How to remove a spa tub in a backyard shed?

I am close to purchasing a house - the backyard contains a large wooden shed with a built-in spa tub. I am wondering who can remove the tub. How much would it cost for them to take it away - or will I be able to get some money for the spa tub? Thanks.


Simple, post sign.

"Free Spa Tub"
"you'll need to come remove it"

What is the difference between a whirlpool and air spa tub?

We know what the difference is in HOW they work but not in why. We are researching tubs for a bathroom remodel, but no one seems to know why you would choose a whirlpool (swirls the water around) or an air spa (blows air into full tub). Anyone know what the heck the difference is?


Air tub has less impact on a single spot than a whirlpool tub. I've have both. Air tub is more relaxing overall, about 80 small holes where air comes out. Kind of like being in a glass of champagne. ;-]


The difference is in the sensation, how it feels.

Most spa units will actually do both. I'd recommend that you goto a spa dealership, and ask for a demonstration. (some dealers have a unit they will let customers try out, if nothing else, you could stick your arm in and feel the difference).

Happy shopping

How you save your plastic spa tub once it got a cleft? Can it be fixed?

we got a plastic spa tub but never use it. Guess what? One day when I cleaned that room and it cracked with a cleft about 10 inches long. Geez.. what a waste and it turned out be to a crap... Can anyone know how to fix it and what kind of fillament we can fill the cleft up without leeking when the spa tub is filled with water...


Try the Epoxy Putty by KBS Coatings. It's great stuff. I gave you the link below to read about it.


There are professional tub re finishers listed in the phone book, i"d try that first. I don't think there is anything a DIY could do to repair this and have it look good.

What are the things to look for when buying a spa/hot tub?

I have asked this question twice without getting a good answer so far-I am considering buying a spa/hot tub. I do not want to spend too much money to buy one.
There are so many different styles of spa/hot tubs. What are things that I am looking for in a quality spa/hot tub? I am concern about spending a lot of money for one that may lead to major repairs in near future.
Also-can someone explain to me what to look for in spa/hot tub to avoid dry rot and not to have the pumps & motor go bad.
How much horsepower is good to have to be considered a good buy?
Any advise would be greatly appreciated....


Okay, here we go. Go to a spa dealer or manufacturer and ask to sit in an EMPTY tub. One size does NOT fit all. If you are 5 ft. 6 you need a different tub than if you are 6 ft. 5. Try a number of them until you find one that feels right. You will be more buoyant when it's full of water, but you don't want to have to hold on to keep from floating away. Next, discuss with the dealer exactly which parts you want massaged most. Upper back, lower back, neck, shoulders, calves, feet, etc. There are a gazillion different types of jets (and jet clusters) each of which is designed to massage certain areas. (Remember, a spa is MORE than a soak in hot water. If that's what you want just fill the bath tub and soak away!) A spa is more like a marriage counselor with bubbles.
Next, try to avoid the temptation to over buy. Seems everybody wants a huge spa. Truth is, you will generally be in it either alone or with one other person. Why pay for way more spa than you actually need? My first one was a big one. Several spas later I have a tiny one that seats 4 people tops. Usually I am in it alone, or with my bride. Now about horsepower. The dealer can direct you best. Depends on the type and number of jets used. Soaking in a spa should be relaxing. You shouldn't get bruised from sitting in front of a too powerful jet. Flow rates are very important when properly sizing a spa pump (or pumps.)A good dealer will know best. If he doesn't, then walk away and find one that does. All of them are going to tell you their brand is best. Few will actually try to "customize" a tub just for you. That's the one you want to use. Different sizes, seating arrangements, jets, and then colors. Then the equipment. All of these factors make a spa a pleasure, or a disappointment.
Hope this helps.


Go to consumer reports. www.consumerreports.com


First thing first, go to a hot tub and spa show at the local convention center (you can find these online) then make sure you are getting the correct size for your needs, a 5-6 person tub is good for couples or just as an status piece, should only cost $3300 brand new. If you are looking to have big parties you nedd 6-8 person. You should make sure the tub includes all accessories. You will probaly have to hire an electrician to hook it up. Keep it simple unless you planning to use it all of the time and large groups of people, you can find deals on ebay but be careful.

What does your hot tub/spa sit on?

I just bought a slightly used hot tub. I'm now trying to figure out how to get it all set up. I do not have a patio or a deck to set it on.
I would also rather not have to pour a concrete pad either. Any suggestions on something I could do myself with out it costing me a arm and a leg?
Also, if you have an outside spa do you have it in a screen room or just out under the stars?
Thanks for any advice.


If you are looking for the cheap way out you can basically prepare a paver block pad to support it. I don't guarantee that the blocks will not crack under the weight because I have no idea how big your tub is, but have had success with helping a couple of friends do this previously.

It is important to get the ground VERY close to level with a hard metal rake and compact soft spots. In order to eliminate any voids in the dirt spread a good even layer of sand on top of the ground before placing the paver blocks down.

If you dig out the top layer of grass and loose dirt beforehand so that the paver blocks basically come out even with the ground it will help keep them from shifting and cracking as well because they are trapped in place by the surrounding dirt.

I highly suggest using a four foot level to check the level of the blocks as you put them in. A FLAT surface is not the same as a LEVEL surface and you definitely will notice the water sitting funny in the tub if it is extremely out of level.


I also have a used spa. I have mine setting on a 2X6 wooden deck type platform....but just before I placed the hot tub on it...I bought some sheets of 'foam board' with foil on both sides. It helps keep it warm in winter time. I also put the foam board on the inside of the side support walls.

Oh yes...I also sprayed both sides of boards on deck with Thompson's water sealer.

I build a gazebo type roof over mine to help keep the harsh weather elements off the spa cover. It's 2 yrs old and looks brand new since it's protected. Plus..the tree leaves don't fall into spa when I have the cover off. I put some strings of Christmas lights around the edge of roof...they are on a dimmer switch so I can have a low lit spa for that special time.


Ours is on a concrete slab, that's how we intended it to be.

It also sits under our porch roof. After the first winter I walled in that section of porch with a combination of corrugated metal and translucent corrugated plastic panels to let light in during the day. Coming out of the hot tub once or twice when it is cold out is kind of fun, but it gets old and cold after a few months. Also, I could keep the tub going longer with less cost in the winter.


Try building a mini-deck. go to your DIY store and by the cement blocks that accept boards on top and place them at the major junctions and corners. follow the ground leveling instructions and insulating instuctions from the other answers.

Is there a non-toxic way to maintain an outdoor covered spa tub without toxic chemicals ?

Just moved , spa is 1 year old and looks new. Afraid of chemicals.


check out a salt system like in pools


The chemical is chlorine for the most part, the same that is in your drinking water. So you shouldn't worry about it. They do have an electric anti fungal pump that you can use, but I think they are expensive. Check with your local swimming pool supply house.


you could try a system like one of these and use hydrogen peroxide to shock occasionally: http://www.swimming-pool-information.com/chlorine-free-pool-systems.html

Where do I drain my spa/hot tub water to?

I need to drain my spa/hot tub for the first time ever, but I don't know where the drained water needs to go. The street seems best, but I can't see a sewer gutter grate anywhere (I'm sure it exists but not sure how far from our house). Grass is a no-no. Not sure about just using the bathtub (would it hurt the plumbing, all those chemicals?). Any ideas? Looking for responses from people who have done it before, not guesses please. I already called the store where I bought the tub and they said grass would be just fine, so that's apparently not a good source of info. =\


it would be best to send it down the drain. a floor drain would work better than the tub, because they generally have 3 or 4 inch drain pipes rather than 1.5 or 2 inch from a tub. and no, the chemicals in a spa or hot tub are not near corrosive enough to hurt modern plumbing. toilet bowl cleaner and clog remover are substantially more corrosive. I would not recommend draining it in the grass unless you have a french drain in your yard, otherwise you are headed strait for a swamp in your yard. the water will take a long time to seep into the yard unless you are situated on a hill that will help to spread the surface area with out making a pond. if you do have a french drain, then it will most likely end up in the same place as if you were to discharge it on the road. roads are built to avoid pooling so if there is a curb, the water will just travel down hill until it reaches a storm sewer.


try ask.com or google ur question it will be helpful


You can drain it in the grass, it will not hurt. Do not put it down the street sewer because of the chemicals. You can also drain it down a drain pipe you might have in your house.


Jeepers, you are bathing in that chemical....how harsh can it be? NOT The lawn is fine.


I always let mine sit a couple of days in the bright sun to evaporate off most of the chlorine. I would do a test to make sure no detectable chlorine remained.

After I was sure the chlorine was gone I would pump it on the grass.

If you are really worried about the lawn then you can put it down a toilet or shower drain. Some cities might have some law about draining it down the gutter so check with your city first.


Water the friggin' grass already!

Hot tub/spa: the various nozzles and hydro-jets keep coming off during use, where can I learn how to repair?

these? This is a PDC spa that is only 2 1/2 years old. I manage to "reconnect" the pieces only to have them flying about with the next use. When they are reconnected, not all of them have adequate output now. I can't afford $70/visit for a different 2 or 3 apart and flying about for the repair person. (No warranty because I bought the house with the hot tub in place.) Help, it's a $7000 hot tub that just doesn't work well.
ScubaBob, I would have emailed you if you had provided a way to contact you through Yahoo answers. The company that installed the pool is in trouble with the state attorney general (not from me although I have no difficulty in understanding how and why this situation has happened.) The only other authorized repair place is very difficult to deal with since they did not install the pool and I don't think their repair person is that good. Any place to view these tools online?


Most spa jets require a special tool to get them properly seated, I'm afraid. You can take an example of your jet ( there are many types) into your local spa and pool shop and ask them for the right tool. It can cost from 10 bucks to 50 bucks, depending on the make of jet.
It's not uncommon for some of these jets, particularly the rotary kind, to eventually work themselves out, even if you did manage to T tape them. I tend to shy away from T taping, as you may inadvertantly cover up the air injection holes, making that jet only spit water and no air.
The reason the jets aren't all functioning as they ought to at the moment, is that with even just one jet missing, that particular return outlet is the easiest route for the water to go. It'll steal flow from the others.

Edit: In answer to your additional details. Many jets on commercially made tubs, come from a source such as Hayward or Jacuzzi, to name just two. Rarely are these jet fittings made by the actual tub manufacturer. The only one that comes to mind, being HotSprings for example. Unless you can ID the manufacturer of the fitting, it would be difficult to find an online resource to get a tool. Your best, cheap bet is still to take it into a spa shop and have them ID it and go from there.
Sorry about my Email not being posted, but I was cyber stalked by a nut case in the Canada travel section of this site and have no desire to have it happen again. Sorry, he ruined it for me as well.

Cleaning spa tub jets?

How do you clean the spa tub jets? Ours are getting moldy, mildewy or something and I can't get it cleaned out. Any suggestions?
I just need to clean the jets and this is not a spa with water left in it all the time. This is our bathtub with jets. The jets (where the water sprays from) is what is moldy. Any help cleaning that would be very helpful! Thanks.


I have had that problem with ours also - I tried several things, but what works best for me is Lysol Mildew Remover with bleach. You spray it on and let it sit. It is very hard to clean the jets, because they are small and I haven't found anything that gets in there effectively to scrub with. But I have found that repeated applications of Lysol will get rid of the mold with no scrubbing. I would recommend spraying them about once a week to prevent any further mildew buildup. It doesn't smell that great, but if you spray it weekly you won't need to use a whole lot.

How do you lower the PH in a spa tub?

I have been told to use baking soda to lower it. Some people say baking soda will raise it. What should I do?


They have a chemical for this.Take a sample of water to the pool place and they will sell you what you need.
