By-pass Filtration

[East_TX_Spa]

OMG   Starting to sound like the wack job from CO.

No, no, no...I'm not belittling anyone else's methods.  Again, I'm GLAD ya'll do it the way you do.  I'm just pointing out the simple logic of having clean water entering the pump.  What's the misunderstanding?

I have taken time from my busy schedule to draw this diagram which makes it easy as pie to understand.



And that's that.

I see your daughter had the day off from school! I'm glad this thread had an infusion of humor, it was needed.

Presented in a simple form for some of the dealers' sake.

Poor attempt at humor here...

If a pump sucks water in to filter and is considered the best way of doing it, wouldn't we call it a "SUCK" instead of a "PUMP"?

Term,

Concerning your "diagram". I am curious.  What is the middle item that is in the exit pipe (to the right of the pump)?   If it's what I think it is, there is one very upset customer out there.

It ain't a Bobbit, if that's what you're thinking.  It was just some curly hair.  There's a Cheeto in there, too.

I see you didn't contest my response where I contested your response (I think that's right??) with filtration...
An oversight or considered somewhat accurate?

I'm sorry, I didn't realize you were serious.

I have no argument regarding the water quality.  I never have and never will.  I realize that the CLEAN water exiting a HotSpring pump mixes with the dirty water already in the spa the same as everyone else's DIRTY water exiting the pump mixes with the dirty water already in the spa.  When it's in the spa and there are people in the spa, it's DIRTY.

BUT, ours is CLEAN again before it enters the pump.  Cleansed of hair and dead skin.  The pump doesn't get hair and dead skin sucked into it.  I imagine that if most consumers understood that point better, HotSpring would sell even more spas than they already do.

I'm sure the water IN THE SPA (not the pump or heater or plumbing) of your Beachcomber was just as clean as anyone else.  No argument here.

You want to know why this argument has holes in it...

Hotsprings spa customers jut like every other spa customers will have water issues just like everyone else.

The problem with being such a "popular brand" is that there are many Hotsprings spas out there, in turn many on this forum own one. We all read posts from Hotsprings owners on here asking for help with cloudy water and stinky water., just like any other brand.

In some cases Hotsprings dealers may encourage a false sence of secrurity by exploiting the no bypass/multiple filter filtration, as a way to be lax on ones chemical routine.

Agreed, see the above post.

Not a problem for anyone but the competition.

I believe Terms elaborate diagram concerns contaminates detrimental to vital componentry:  Jet Pump wet ends, Heater Elements, valves, diverters, etc...  Not with water quality.  Water is water.  it all needs to be treated the same way.

LOL!!!!!

Hate to break it to you Term but there are some parts of the country where Hotsprings doesn't have the market share.

Thats good because if you guys got all of it, you'd be on here by yourself.

I loved the drawing (Term don't give up the day job)

If you or anyone can give me one once of proof that Hotsprings heaters, pumps, ozones, and other vital equipment have a lower failure rate due to no bypass filtration than please post it.

um....IS there any data on any products/brand failure rate?
