It's Finally Here!
« on: August 16, 2005, 07:02:01 pm »
Alright guys and girls my Optima got here today ;D. I hooked up the electric....filled it with water and turned it on (the deck I built is still standing :)). It was already at 84 degrees before I turned on the heater. Its been an hour and a half and its up to 90 degrees. I added the necessary chemicals and I am just waiting. How long do I have to wait before I can get in? Everything seems to be working so I am very happy. Thanks to everyone for this great resource...I am sure I'll be asking some dumb water maintenance questions. This is my first tub so I am still learning. Can I get in yet?

1) The dumbest questions are the ones not asked.

2) We're all still learning.

3) Let it get to temp and hop in.

Congrats.

No! No! No!

Getting into a hot tub is absolutely the worst thing you can do. It messes up the water chemistry, your electric bills shoot sky high....water gets everywhere.  What are you thinking? ;)

Seriously, As longs as the your chems arent totally screwed you should be able to jump in. Take a test  strip and ensure your Chlorine and PH and Alk are all in the zone.

Got in last night at 10:30....the water was 101, chemicals were good and it felt great. Like everyone else has probably said "Why did I wait so long to get one" . Wow.... tonight will be even better. Couple a cold ones, me, the stars and maybe I'll let the wife in  :o

Thanks
