Welcome to our forum.
Good Morning Everyone,Just wanted to let y'all know that I got the call and my Grandee will be delivered tomorrow!!!! :-) I'm so excited! Now I just hope I don't mess the water up or do something wrong....I have this fear that I will screw something up...LOLI'll keep ya posted on things went... :-)Have no fear, you will mess things up! For the most part that is how I learned. When our child was born I found that any human who ever had a child was an expert and could tell you exactly how it was going to be. Its not as bad with hot tubs, but sometimes seeing a problem is the best way to learn. I think the most common rookie mistake is to over use chemicals trying to get perfect readings. I feel there is a range of acceptable readings for every thing and just try to get everything in range is good enough. I try to use that using minimal chemicals.
Well, as both a Vista owner (same size as your Grandee) and a father of some of the best kids on the planet, I wish you all the best. Welcome to Spatopia.W is correct - I see many of our customers over-attending the tub during the first several weeks. As a result, I have taken to recommending a water change at the end of the first month. Even our customers who have clean-looking water mention that it helps with feel, bubbles, foam, or some aspect. BTW what sanitization system will you be using?
Congrats on the new spa. You are going to love it.Jonathan
Thank you....I'm amazed how excited I am about this whole thing......I'm guessing since they aren't delivering until tomorrow afternoon, I won't be using it until Sunday? How long does it take for the water to reach a certain temp? We have a cold front coming through and it's supposed to get down to 35 tonight and tomorrow night....I can see my tub steaming now....
Heat-wise it took ours about 3 hours to reach 102, but we had our delivered in the summer. Without question, though, it will reach temp overnight. Fill er up, drop in the chemicals, let it heat overnight, sleep in your bathing suit and hop in in the morning.(Assuming of course electrical is also being done today. If electrical is not being done today I wouldn't jump in tomorrow. Grandee is a fantastic tub, you will love it!-Ed
Way to go, peachie! May the goddess of Spatopia bless you with crystal water.......and the goddess endorses dichlor as your primary sanitizer......
Don't forget to put your bathing suits in the washing machine and do a double rinse on them without soap. Our first day in the tub with the kids was a bit foamy!Jonathan
Congrats Georgia, I think you find owning a Grandee.... well... just Peachy.sorry. Noone else said it. Someone had to.
