Welcome to our forum.
I bought my hot tub at the beginning of Sept and have been testing the water at the dealer weekly and adding chemicals and bromine every week. Just wondering if there will be a point where I do not have to add every week other then bromine and if I should drain the tub before the winter and refill? Also there are vents on the side of the tub to let excess heat out and to close when it is cold to keep heat in. When is the best temp or time to close of the air vents?
I also am thinking about draining my tub since I am getting a lot of foam when the air is turned on. I saw at my dealer you can buy a defoamer but was told it does not last too long. Also I bought a deep clean solution to clean my filter however I still needed to clean between each pleat before and after so I told this to the manufacturer and they said not to waste my money as it wears down the fibres on the filter. Seems to me that there are a lot of products out there that the dealers will sell you that are a waste of time.
Typically people will drain and refill their tubs every three to four months. If you can time it so you are not doing this in the middle of winter that is always best.
But you can only clean a filter so many times and they do loose some filtering ability and start to restrict flow. The best way is to have 2-3/sets of filters and rotate so they get a good soaking in cleaner.

We've had our tub filled for 2 1/2 weeks and haven't cleaned any filters yet.
