How much work is involved?

We are looking to put one at a weekend home, but would be able to leave it unattended all week? We would be down there only on weekends so could we drain the water out and fill it up when we got there, or what other options do we have as far as maintenance? Any advice is appreciated.

Yes....use a floating system for chemicals or some spas.....Marquis for an example have a in-line sanitizer system as well as sleep or Economy modes...the sleep mode for example is designed when someone is away for an extended period of time .....it will only heat if the temp falls 20 degrees below the set temperature ....you can also reduce filter times
