Title: Generic Users Guide
Post by: dsegel on March 12, 2005, 04:03:26 pm

Hi,

Does anyone know of anywhere on the Web where one might find a kind of generic "Users Guide" on hot tubs?

A kind of general set-up, chemical use, water testing, cleaning, maintenance, etc.  Also an average time schedule for these things?

Just so someone could get an idea of the "work" involved in owning a hut tub?

One of the things I've noticed talking to SOME dealers is that they try to kind of de-emphasize all of those things and try to make it sound like a breeze.  I'd like a realistic view of it.

Thanks

It really is kind of a breeze to own and maintain a tub, or at least for me!  I was nervous about the work involved, but I have found that, after over a year of ownership, I test my water about once a week (unless I find a problem, which is rare).  I adjust what needs to be adjusted, usually my ta and ph need to be raised a bit, and that is it.  Other than the chlorine I add after my soaks!

Wise men around here gave me great advice when I was first starting, relax and take it easy!  A little bit goes a long way, and enjoy the tub!  Don't stress about it!
