J-365 start-up "kit"

[tansu]

Ordered J-365 with ozonator, given "Spa time spa kit" (brominating). I think I want something (like Nature 2 ?) to put in intake filter and use dichlor. I have read a lot of post but still confused about best, least and simplest treatment. Just me and spouse as users. Please advise.

If your dealer is willing to educate you about the benefits of bromine and offer free water testing, you should be fine. Learning how to properly look after your water and have an educated dealer that is willing to take the time to show you properly is 99% of it.

The rest is just alternate options that require similar educating. There's no magic bullet here. Like your car, you still need to perform regular maintenance regardless of the type of fuel or oil you use.

Sorry steve, but I would not rely on a single dealer for information. I do my own research and determine which course to take. I would never trust a single auto mechanic either - I do ALL my own work- after doing my homework. I posted this question because sometimes you can get some very valuable information from others.

[Steve]

Then I doubt you'll take just my word on it either?  

You relied on your dealer for quality information on your spa so I personally don't see the difference? You trusted them enough to spend thousands of dollars but not enough to offer help on water care?

Oh well...Whada I know...

Steve,

And you thought I was bad!

tansu,

Buy a Taylor Test kit and figure it out yourself!

Just to let you know - you're NOT relying on A SINGLE DEALER, you come to this site and you have a lot of dealers to help you. But you might need guidance and these people can't make it to you. So where are you going to go? Certainly not to a dealer you didn't buy from.

BTW, I'm cynical and don't trust people, but you really got me beat!

Why not just use what your dealer gave you, at least until it's depleted, or till your first water change, then decide if you want to switch?

I don't get this "I don't trust my dealer" thing, either.
You laid out a huge wad of dough to get your spa, but somehow he's too inept to trust for ongoing support?
Sumpin' just don't add up here.

I believe I was not understood. I know from 8 months of reading this site's post that most replys are from dealers. I wanted information from many dealers - not just the one I bought from. "A SINGLE DEALER" meant one source, not all dealers. Ya'll are really very sensitive.

I believe I was not understood. Ya'll are really very sensitive.

I think I understood you just fine. Though I don't rely understand you.

Sensitive? Sensitive? Well if you had to look after kids, do all the shopping, pick up the kids from school, take them to hockey, soccer, swimming lessons, etc while you just sat around wondering about how to best look after your water in your precious hot tub the easiest way possible so you can spend the rest of the time watching baseball and football on your big fancy chair with your surround sound, you wouldn't even go there... Don't you be calling ME sensitive Mr. Lazya$$ until you've accomplished all of this in 1 week when I can do it all in 1 day!!!

WOW...that was therapeutic....
