Welcome to our forum.
it has a minor warp on the top panel of the tub but something you have to look really hard to actually see.
Warp on top panel? Since I can't be totaly sure what that means I'd say make sure that warpage is not going to affect the cover fit. If I was thought the cover fit might be compromised I'd skip it but i can't tell from your description.
and as of right now my new Jacuzzi JLX-L is sitting in my backyard at a toasty 102deg F. This tub is truly amazing. I find myself hopping from one seat to the next for different massages. The two powerful jets in the footwell are my personal favs. My one complaint... The jets, when on the high setting, sometimes spin themselves closed on their own. Not cool....Plus... Whats the difference between pH and alkalinity... I am a high school chemistry teacher and that doesnt seem to make much sense. An alkaline solution is one with a high pH...

I am a high school chemistry teacher and that doesnt seem to make much sense. An alkaline solution is one with a high pH...I wondered the same thing about pH and total alkalinity. My understanding of total alkalinity (in hot tub land) is that it is a measure of the buffering capacity of your water. You need to keep the TA high enough to prevent big swings in pH but not so high that the pH climbs on its own. TA increaser is basically sodium bicarbonate. A person called "chemgeek" might come along and give you a better answer than what I did though. Good luck.
