Over the time you've visited the board, what's the best hot tub tips you've received?
One of my favorites is using a turkey baster to get the sand out of the bottom of the tub....works like a charm!

You can also use them for artificial insemination for infertile couples. When I was an amateur doctor in junior college, I offered this service. I also did hip replacements with bicycle parts for a nominal fee.
Best hot tub advice... wet test, go with a reputable company, get everything in writing, don't give in to high pressure sales tactics, do the research...nowledge is powur!

My 7 year old daughter uses the turkey baster as a pretend microphone and sings to whatever music we're listening to in the hot tub when we're done getting the sand out. I guess it has many uses! ;)

Yes, they are truly wonderful. I know some fat people that use them to suck sweat out of their harder to reach flesh folds. A good size turkey baster and a sponge greatly improves their social standing.

I will never think of a turkey baster quite the same after your posts, Term! ;D

It's best that you don't. I went to the Great State Fair of Texas last Thursday. I was amazed at all the fat folk riding around on their little scooters and rascals, all of them with their turkey basters at their sides. I'm sitting there thinkin' "If those chubalubs would try WALKING sometimes, they might not need those turkey basters and oxygen tanks." But what do I know? Not much of nuthin'.

In regards to the question concerning infertility, the understanding of basic human anatomy is a definite requisite, for example:
Many years ago, my wife (Ol' Meanness) had just finished a telephone conversation with her only Baby Sister. Baby Sister and her husband (Big Jim) had been trying to breed unsuccessfully for several years. They had been to real doctors, tried surgery, and had resorted to taking some type of hormone injection. All to no avail.
Ol' Meanness: "I feel so sorry for Baby Sister...Big Jim is having to give her two shots in her butt everyday."
Dr. Term: "Well, that's the whole danged problem...he's doing it in the wrong place."
I got the snot slapped out of me for being so blunt, but the good common sense I expoused evidently reached Big Jim because now they have two loverly childrens and I take full credit for their conception without being directly involved. Just study your anatomy books and the answers will present themselves without provocation.

I used to use a turkey baster to feed my seahorses.
But speaking of fat people and kitchen implements (and I've never used THAT particular phrase before!), has anyone seen those shows on mortally obese people, like "Half Ton Man"? The people so obese they can't even move? One of the most common questions they DON'T cover on the shows that most people want to know is "how do they go to the bathroom" (or, more directly, how do their loved ones clean up after them when they go). The answer? Barbecue tongs.
Specifically, long handled barbecue tongs. I've NEVER looked at barbecue tongs the same way since.

Back on subject ... Use a pool skimmer to skim out the foam.

As a newbie here, I thought I was going to get scads of technical information from this forum. I didn't realize that I was going to laugh so much. I am a nurse, so all the turkey baster trivia makes sense to me.

Someone here had mentioned that when I was having a foam issue after a month of use. The dealer also said that was the best thing to do. But I have to tell you that you need an awful lot of patience to do that. Seemed like the more I scooped the more foam that was created.
I gave up and followed the best tip I received - newbies should drain their tub after a month and start fresh. I did and am close to 3 months in to my second fill with no problems. 8-)
-
I thought that putting anti-foam in a spray bottle what a great idea. Just a couple of spritz and the foam is gone.

I told Holly she's got to kick the cigarette habit if she wants to be your concubine. Send her some Nicorette and she'll probably be yours by the end of the week!

I think Holly's in Dallas studying to be an aesthetician (which is either a beauty shop operator or gives people sleeping gas...I'm not quite sure):

She likes guys who wear makeup and are cunning linguists:

I tell you what...I'll trade you Holly and throw in Theresa and Ronnie (our service tech) for them two Fillies you got in your picture. When it comes to horse tradin', I always like to give gooder 'n I get. You'll like Ronnie, he's mighty handy to have around!

Don't pull out! The stuff comes floating to the top and sticks to you. YUCK!!

Without a doubt, Brookenstein.

Are they painful?

Not at all... rather pleasurable actually... :D

What are ya'll pullin' and why is it floatin' and stickin'? :-[
If you're talking about pulling a circ pump out of an orifice (I remember rick giving specific instructions on inserting one about 2 years ago), then I would have to imagine that it would be quite painful. But circ pumps don't float, unless you're talking about the Dead Sea...and then it would make perfect sense to use Brooke's technique if it were applicable. That's how I see it anyway.

BTW...apologies to Renee for totally stealing her thread. Welcome to WTB spa forum and the clear fact that we can't focus on any one topic too long! :D

Are you implying I have a dirty mind and I misinterpreted what he meant by the pullout method and floaties stickin? I was just trying to help other people out... my experience here could help other fellas here out is all, but if I misunderstood I do apologize. I do sometimes hit a gutterball.
-

The key is in timing the pull out. One does not want to pull out too late as to have spillage nor pull out too early and get cold. The key in all of this is just one word and that would be. SWALLOW.
/thread.

Hot tub tip o' the day...NEVER attempt to swallow a circ pump. That's some of the best advice C. Everett Koop ever espoused. It's still written on every certified circ pump manufactured today even though the greatest surgeon general in history has passed on.

Heres a tip I gave a lady a few years ago??
Dont pour filter cleaner in your spa to clean the filters!! Of course she had already done it. ::)
