How much More to Pay Cleaner for Hot Tub Maintenance?

How much More to Pay Cleaner for Hot Tub Maintenance?

My cleaner says her fee will go up 50 dollars when I add a hot tub for its maintenance. 

This seems far too high considering the upkeep is not that extensive. 

What amount would be reasonable? 

Thanks!

Unfortunately that’s all dependent on your specific market and the type of hot tub you have and if the cleaner will be financing the chemicals. If it helps, we pay $88 for a pool and spa technician to come out and service our properties with hot tubs.

    What does that $50 include? Check the filters to make sure they don’t need to be replaced and/or have a bunch of long hair stuck on them and need to be washed? Check ph levels and rebalance with appropriate chemicals as needed (this on its own may require a licensed tech)? Fish out junk and gunk if any? Refill the water back to its appropriate level? Wipe down and disinfect the surfaces including the lid/cover? $50 for all that sounds reasonable.
