I love this forum and have learned alot as I consider things for a spa. I'm wondering what a realistic time line is for maintenance costs after my warrantee expires. I keep reading that the heater goes first etc.
My questions is if I maintain my spa well, chemical balancing etc. (including proper winterization) how long should my heater, pumps, pipes, etc. last. And approximately what am I looking at in replacement/service costs.
I don't mind monthly costs to maintain, but I also don't want a money pit in 5 years.
What do all you experts think?
Thanks
