Welcome to our forum.
Hello All,I am currently shopping for a spa for my vacation home in Central Oregon, where the winter temperatures can drop to 0F and the snow can accumulate to 36" when I am not there to shovel it. I am concerned about the maintenance of the spa while I am not there, which could be as long as several weeks. I am interested in selecting a spa that requires as little maintenance as possible. What features or options can help me achieve this goal?Worse, I am worried about what happens if the GFCI breaker trips while I am away. Full-foam or thermopane construction, either would freeze when the spa is without power for days.I welcome any suggestions or comments regarding this issue. Also, do any of you know if there is any product that would allow me to easily monitor my spa over the Internet? If I could do this, at least I would KNOW if there was trouble, and call someone to go check it out.Thanks in advance for your help!Regards,Altazi
You already got one pitch for a dual breaker, which IMO might buy you a few hours, but if you don't have someone checking the tub, will just result in a more uniformly frozen tub by the time you get there.
Hi Tman122,Nice deck! Is that your personal set-up? Where does the spa cover go when it's off?I happened to see some Dimension One spas at a parking lot sale (put on by the local dealer), and saw how the cover lifter worked. It was a smooth, one-hand operation, but the cover ends up folded in half right next to the hot tub, so I need to leave space for that to happen.I am getting ideas about tub placement - I just have to start sketching. . .Regards,Altazi
