Welcome to our forum.
So now I'm completely confused & here are my questions:1. What is the appropriate way to care for a hot tub? Does it vary by manufacturer & that's why we have 3 different explanations?2. I know that you want to stick with a company that has been around for a while. But how do you know who has been around for a while and how do you know it's reputation for repairs and customer service? I had difficulty in finding any reviews on these.3. What do you think of having the 5 HP and then a 2/3 HP one? Is that just silly and go with the 5HP?4. Between Artesian and Sunrise, is there a clear winner between the two?Completely confused.
Thanks all! I appreciate the feedback. Someone mentioned a water chemistry forum. Can you advise which one for a newbie? And yes, they recommended bromine, except for the 3rd guy who said it didn't need anything. Second place said no need to test water and first place is in line with what you seem to be saying: PH TestBromineShockBut the Bromine--that was one side of the chemical holder & there was a different chemical on the other side. They both floated together in the water. Any ideas what the other one was?
