Hi all
we recently bought a house in Akron Ohio area and it came with a Jacuzzi 400 series spa. I think it's at least 6 years old. The realtor wasn't sure. I've never owned a spa, but so far so good. The seller left us some extra chemicals/supplies etc. I'm using a nature2, chlorine free chemical cartridge with a chlorine free shock and a PH buffer/increaser. The water quality seems to be consistent, clear and odor free. My wife and I are the only ones who use it.
Two questions.... we are leaving town for 12 days or so and don't have anyone to check on it. Is there anything I should do before leaving to make sure it's ok over this period? Add some chlorine?(which I'm not using)
Also, the spa gets a lot of mid/ late day sun which raises the water temp above where it's set, so I've noticed the circ pump and water fall shuts off until the temp drops again. Is this a problem? There are really no other options on the property due to privacy. Plus I'd have to pour a new pad for it to sit on etc if I wanted to move it.
I appreciate any info with this. Thanks
