Hello,
I just wanted to introduce myself. I just bought my tub two nights ago and am going to pick it up Friday Afternoon. After weeks upon weeks of research and wet testing, we decided to go with a Aber (Pacific) Saturn LTX. We had narrowed our original field of 8 down to two. The final two were the Aber and a Jacuzzi J365. The Saturn was an '04 closeout so the price that was given was the final deciding factor and the fact that I didn't care for the Jacuzzi sales staff at all. I had them throw in a cover lifter, spare filter, and extra dichlor on top of the starter kit. So far the only question is, will the starter kit have everything that I need to actually get my tub to appropriate levels and then proceed with maintenence, or do I have to buy anything else? I have already ordered a taylor test kit so that should also be here by Friday. Thanks!

Starter kits are great for giving you a place to start. Then with help here, information from reading the Taylor Test kit, will give you a good basis on what's right for you.
I am not familiar with this tub, do they or your dealer have a website?

Yes go to http://www.Aberhottubs.com - Titanium Series Tubs - Saturn and that will give the specs.

What color did you go with? Â When I look at a new manufacturer's site, I usually look at the number of seats they claim. This one claims 6 and looks like a 6 person tub. I've seen other manufacturers call this a 7-8 person tub. Not sure if that is important, but you know what they say about first impressions. Â ;D
Since you are the first owner of that brand, in my recollection, here, please let us know how this works out.
PS, you will see that I modified your post. The only time I do this is when someone references a website. I make it "clickable" so others can open a new window with the site you listed without leaving our forum. If you click on MODIFY of that post, you will see how I did it.

I will give you all a review after I get it setup this weekend, I got the dark twilight color since I didn't have a choice (closeout) but it looks good. Fortunately I am on the fire dept. So filling it quickly will not be a problem. I have read the last 70 pages on this forum and a lot on Docs site so I have a great idea on what I am doing. I will take a water sample to my dealer to see if I have high concentrations of anything so I can remedy it immediately. I look forward to talking with you all to make this the best possible experience. Another question, for those of your with cedar cabinets how often do you weather proof them?
