Grandee Delivery Tomorrow - Start up question
« on: June 14, 2006, 10:09:55 am »
My Grandee is being delivered first thing tomorrow.  I'm really looking forward to it.

I'm planing on using the Nature2 system with it.  I noticed that Robert's Hot Tubs & Spas (http://www.rhtubs.com/store/nature2.htm) has the N2 cartridge for quite a bit less than my local dealer.

The only difference I see is the cartridge on the website is yellow and the one my dealer sells is gray.

Are they the same?  Will it work in my Grandee?

Thanks!

Eddie

Thanks, I'm sure I will enjoy it!

Does anyone have any experience with Robert's Hot tubs & Spas?

I guess I'm asking if it's a reputable place to deal with.

Cheers,

Eddie

The fella in charge of that outfit is somewhat beady-eyed and bow-legged, and I've been told he is a bit of a dandy, but otherwise reputable.

I'm a year older today and my brain just stepped down a notch, but Its Dr. Spa isn't it?  I think we have had several spadoctors on here in recent years.

The contents are the same, but the cartridge is different.  You can make it work.  The Hot Spring version is designed to fit, while the yellow one is universal.  If not installed proerly, it can end up sucked into the plumbing.  That is rare, but I have seen it happen and then you have a non-warranty service call to remove it.

Any clue on how to make it fit in my grandee.  I just purchased 3 of them ;-)

Carefully follow instructions that come in the box.  Make sure you replace every 4 months.  How much did you pay for them?

I paid $20.99 for each.  The local dealer wants $25.99 or something like that.  I bought them at www.rhtubs.com.

The N2 cartridges for HotSpring have a shoulder which allows them to be dropped into the filter holder and stay put. The yellow ones do not have this, so they drop deep into the filter pipe and can block the flow. You have can put the extension rods on them and turn them upside down, but then you have to fish them out four months later.

The stuff inside is the same, and Roberts Hot Tub is a great place to buy stuff.
