Welcome to our forum.
Good evening, We appreciated the advice when searching for a hot tub, so now that our Sundance Cameo has arrived, been hooked up, and is sitting at a beautiful 101F (oddly, it is warm here for November, but that 101F will feel even better as we get into winter). Anyway, we have a few concerns, and hoping there might be a simple solution to some of them... 1) We had a 240V/60A breaker put in with the thought process being that it would be nice to have the heater work in conjunction with the jets in the deep winter months. However, it appears that after I turn on the 2 sets of jets, the heater turns off (at least the icon does)...is there another setting I need to fix? Did the electrician not set it up properly? 2) The remote control doesn't seem to do a darn thing (and we even swapped out the 3V battery)...again, am I being an idiot, or is it likely that we have a faulty remote? 3) The radio reception sucks...and by that I mean I'm not able to pull in a single AM station (which would be nice for listening to sports) and most of the 'local' FM stations are very static filled or impossible to hear. We put in a CD, and that sounded fine. For the record, I can place a $8 alarm clock radio nearby and it can get a reception just fine. Would this most likely be a) a fault with the stereo (don't think it is this) b) wiring too close to something, c) too hard to tell or d) the radio reception on these typically sucks and we better get used to CDs or the MP3 connection 4) Upon the initial fill, the Ph level appeared to be off the charts...I did a few iterations of adding a Ph Down solution (liquid) and eventually used up the entire 16 ounce bottle to get it to what appears to be below 8.2 at least. I added a bit more powder tonight (had to go buy some from the local Menards) and am hoping it is even a bit lower tomorrow. Any recommendations on what I can do in the future when I fill the tub other than just throwing a bunch of acid in there? FYI, for those who offered advice in the past, we went with the Twilight (dark blue) shell with the Coastal (grey) exterior - looks phenomenal with the lights at night! I guess while I'm posting - does anyone have advice on the most-readable test strips on the market...the sample pack we received is almost impossible for me to tell between a normal Ph and a high Ph (and the alkalinity is also hard to read) Are the electronic ones worth the money? Sorry if some of my questions have easy answers...just a newbie at all of this. Much thanks to all!

It should be noted, the AquaChek TruTest Digital Test Strip Reader uses it's own "special" test strips.
