My hot tub noise was measuring 87 on my decibel meter. Watch as I walk you through a series of DIY fixes, and then see how many decibels it reads AFTERWARDS.

I noticed you filmed this in 2020. Have you had any issues with your soundproofing since? I have the same spa and looking to quiet it down. Thank you.

This was very well explained. Thanks so much!

Thank you for your brilliant video. You gave me some good ideas. Thx

@GarrickStaples 3 года назад

Are you worried about heat building up and shortening the life of components. I think I would have started with adding some dampening to the panel.

@drdrew3 Год назад

Spa pumps are WATER COOLED. And spa cabinets have no forced air ventilation to speak of. Those louvres on the cabinet don’t allow significant air movement and are yet another source of noise.

@andreic4903 Год назад

Just curious -- why are you using the MAX value as a baseline? Your AVG actually stays unchanged after the insulation is added.

Great video Jeff 🙂

@HotTubOwnerHQ 3 года назад

Thanks 👍

@drdrew3 Год назад

Decibels are measured on a logarithmic scale so even relatively small changes on the meter are orders of magnitude quieter to the ear. Unfortunately this also means the distance that you measure from when comparison can really throw off the result if not EXACTLY the same

Thanks for commenting! I answered your question in a new video I just shot, so look for that video to come out the week of 10/24/22! Thanks for being here! - Jeff

Can you give us an update since it has been over two years? Thank you.

If my Jacuzzi was that loud, then there is something wrong. Why just cover it up? Isn't there an issue with a pump or blower or something?

@drdrew3 Год назад

Even a PROPERLY running pump can be objectionably loud when you are trying to relax or have a conversation. Spa manufacturers give minimal attention to noise or vibration dampening so it’s up the homeowner to sound insulate their spa. And even a PROPERLY running spa will have loose screws right from from the factory or vibrate out over time. It goes without saying the a noisy broken motor should be serviced before taking these other steps.

@@drdrew3: wrong ..if your tub is that loud you bought the wrong one and should never insulate the service door area

@josephgraham1065 2 года назад

Curious if you have had any overheating issues since doing this

@drdrew3 Год назад

Overheating not a problem because spa pump motors are 90% WATER COOLED. In fact some spas depend on that to heat the water quicker to temp. Nothing done in this video would hinder air flow because it’s minimal to begin with and their are ventilation louvres elsewhere on the cabinet

@3483maverick 2 года назад

Don't block your pumps, they need to be ventilated.

@adamperryvideo 2 года назад

I don't know. They rely on air cooling? It's a closed air area anyway there. My bet is on water cooling from the water moving through it. So IMHO OK to add a whole bunch of non-flammable dampening, like fiberglass insulation.

Hi, do you clean the inner part of your hot tub cover? My hot tub is a few months old and the cover is giving the water a musty smell. Im not sure what I could clean it with. Thank you

@HotTubOwnerHQ 3 года назад

Hi Brian Honestly I don't do much but you could mix a small amount of bleach with water in a spray bottle and unzip the cover and spray the foam and/or the underside of the cover. But I am surprised it would be doing that so soon after you got it. If you think somehow it got waterlogged, you might leave it off for a day, off the hot tub and unzipped so it can dry out.

@brianczarny3272 3 года назад

@@HotTubOwnerHQ OK thank you. I tried water and vinegar mix. It seemed ok for awhile and got that musty smell again. I'll use bleach this time.
