Welcome to our forum.
Now - even though our tubs are listed through ETL - we still build and test to that same UL standard, which has been updated over the years for better safety.
If left unattended for a 24 hour period, do the HotSprings therapy pumps come on automatically for a period of time or does just the 24 circ pump run by itself for the entire period?

Chas, since there are very few of us Master Spas supporters on this board, I just wanted to state, without creating any controversy or making any insinuations regarding your post, that Master Spas are UL listed.Also, please help me understand HotSprings' filtration:Thanks, man....
Normally, just a 24 hour circulation pump is only going to draw X amount of water through the filters per day. Often, just moving X amount of water per day is not enough and many tubs also kick on the jets for a while (30-40 minutes 3-4 times a day is not unheard of, right?). This makes more water go through the filters, yielding better filtration.Hot springs have 5 filters instead of 1 or 2, and the new tri-x filters that hot spring uses have much more square footage than many other tubs (at least this was true when I poked around on this several months ago). So, drawing the water through those 5 deep filters X times per day does yield adequate filtration.
Do Hot spring spas have excelent filtration??? YES Do most of the top manufacturers have excelent filtration??? YES Seriously, show me a spa made by a top manufacturer that DOESN'T have adequate filtration??? Pretty tough isn't it???Jason,Store Manager for a D-1 & Caldera Dealer
The only question I might raise is this: There is water that can remain uncirculated in the HotSprings' therapy pumps' plumbing unless human intervention takes place. Over a period of days without human intervention, would this have the ability to compromise water sanitation? Could this cause a buildup of bacteria in the therapy pumps' plumbing?
Cool! But what about that water feature line - was my service tech. "slightly left of well informed" & am I wasting my time leaving it on "trickle" all the time?
