Title: Spa just arrived!
Post by: Tropicaltam on August 09, 2007, 04:42:35 pm
Just had my new spa delivered yesterday (Dimension One Wayfarer).  I had to work all day, so I didn't get to see it unfold, so my boyfriend sent me pictures of the action to my camera phone.  Today the electrician is here to hook everything up....he just gave me the green light to fill the tub!! :)  It is so exciting just watching it fill, like something coming to life!  This is my first tub, so I think it's all pretty cool!  I am so incredibly excited, my boyfriend thinks I am plain crazy!  (Have a feeling he'll be hooked on the tub in no time!)

So, any last minute advice for a newbie?  Anyone care to share their "first time" hot tub story?   :D

Thanks again for all the great info/advice!!

Tam

Dont watch the temp reading while its heating up cause it will drive you nuts.

Way to go Tam and I hope you enjoy it for many years!

Keep in mind that you may only get a month or so out of your first fill due to the learning curve of watercare. The key is to maintain your sanitizer levels and add a bit after each use.

Oh and secondly (now that you have it)... a spa isn't great for the sexlife as we all tend to be real relaxed afterwards and just wanna sleep. Sorry we didn't tell ya that before! ;D

Cheers,

Steve

Which lends itself to a whole other set of watercare issues! I'm not going there...  ;)
