Wow. Congratulations.

How old is the one for sale? Housebroke? Can they sell tubs and Patio Furniture by any chance? You care how close their new home is? Will you take a check? How much is shipping?

(Man, you sure have to ask a lot of questions when you buy over the 'Net).



 ;)


Chas,

I thought you knew better than to buy these high ticket items over the internet.  You don't know anything about the company background, the warranty, who is going to service it?  You really should stick with a local product.

:)

Congrats again!

Congrats buddy!!!

Bill Cosby said that your not really a parent until you have to and get to hear things like;

"He's looking at me!!" "He touched my foot!"

I feel for the Mrs. with your propensity for photos.... ;) ;D 8)

BTW, this has to have something to do with by-pass filteration....One of those little buggers obviously got by somehow@@ ;)

Congrats Term. Now your daughter will have someone to play with.  Are you sure it didn't happen during one of your lunch hour wet tests?  ;D

What's strange is that all 3 times Ol' Meanness has conceived, I was there when it happened and knew it at that instant.  I knew this time because of an equipment malfunction while we were Down Under and am considering naming this child Houdini due to his propensity for escape.

Thank you again for all of your condolences.  They are appreciated.

1st things 1st (hate that saying, like 1st thing would be 3rd.....anyways...) its a very good thing that you were there for each of the times ya'll conceived.

as far as the "equipment malfunction"........sounds like ol' meanness will have to get you some of those blue pills for her next valentines day date  ;) ;D

Sorry for bumping this post as it had all but died, but I wanted to clarify some things:

1) It is ONLY the AquaFlo pump on the 880s that I am talking about.  The 780s still use the Laing circulation pump, similar to the one that Hotspring uses.

2) The costs to run the pumps.  We will use watts rather than amps because amps can be misleading.

Hotspring 505 Laing pump running 24hrs/day @ .25/KwHr =  $15.30

Sundance AquaFlo circ pump running 24hrs/day @ .25/KwHr  =  $25.20

3) Amount of water filter per day

Hotspring 505 Laing pump  @ 8gpm = around 11.5k gallons of water per day

Sundance AquaFlo circ pump @ 33gpm = around 47.5k gallons of water per day

Neither Hotspring's nor Sundance's filtration system would allow cheese puffs, toes, syringes, or bottles to enter the pumps.  If you could explain how they could, I would love to hear it.  Even Sundance's pump suctions are designed to limit sand getting into them.  

I hope this clears some things up.

Are you saying that Terminators diagram of filtration was exagerated?   I find that hard to belive.   :-[

 I think Terminator, Chas or any other Hotspring dealer is justified in selling no by-pass filtering as an advantage for there product.  It does do what they are saying and it is an exclusive feature to Hotsprings.   No by-pass filtering is definitly not a bad thing.   It is not like they are lying about a feature.  Shake What Your Momma Gave Ya,  sell your best features, it maybe important to some people.
