    Oops- Defender instead of Calcium, need to drain again?

    So I just drained, cleaned and refilled my tub yesterday.  Today I realized instead of adding the bottle of liquid calcium, I accidentally added a full bottle of "defender", the stain and scale preventer.  Think I need to drain and refill again?  Or maybe half drain and refill?  The water is a...

    Alternative to mineral cartridges

    I'm going on 3 years as a hot tub owner. I started with using the inline system on my Marquis Destiny, with one bromine cartridge and one mineral cartridge.  Then I switched to a floating sanitizer dispenser and just put 2 mineral cartridges in the inline system.  Now I use chlorine granules as...

    Water quality issues- Switch from bromine to chlorine, or other problem?

    I've had a Marquis Destiny spa for about year.  I purchased it refurbished.  I made the choice to use bromine for sanitizer. I have had consistent water quality issues which seem to be getting worse.  While the water looks clear when still, within a couple of weeks after a drain and refill, it...

    Only one side of suction fittings working?

    I got a refurbished 2007 Marquis Destiny a little over a year ago.  So far things have been fine, though I am still perfecting keeping the water nice and clear. Recently I noticed when I was in the tub that the suction in the foot well was noticeably working on the left hand side (I put my hand...

    How to remove white film (scale)?

    I am doing my first drain, clean, and refill of a tub I bought refurbished 4 months ago.  I noticed before draining a white film around the edges near the water line and figured I could clean it when I drained.  But this stuff will not budge despite my scrubbing. Is this "scale"?  It seems more...

    Marquis Inline Bromine System Problems

    Hello, I bought a reconditioned Marquis Destiny and after a bit of a bumpy start (I previously posted about a fried control board), I am now very much enjoying the tub.  The tub has an inline system with space for a mineral cartridge and a bromine cartridge.  Being new to tubs, I decided to...

    Can a power surge fry a control board?

    So I just bought a reconditioned Marquis Destiny that came with all new components.  Had a certified electrician do the electrical work.  One and a half weeks after installation, it turned off.  After turning it back on, it no longer heats.  I called the dealer and they seemed amazed as it had...

    Overwhelmed by chemical care

    Well, I thought shopping for and choosing a tub was confusing.  Now I realize we have to figure out the chemicals! We bought a reconditioned Marquis Destiny which comes with an ozonator and an inline Spa Frog system. It does not come with any starter chemicals or assistance in getting things...

    Electrical work questions

    Hello, Hot tub newbies here.  My husband has stated he will do the electrical work needed for the 220V.  He does electrical work all the time for his job, but is not a licensed electrician.  I trust him, and the quote to have it done by a professional was about 2K! However, I wanted some...

    Yet another newbie with a question about base options

    Hi, I'm new here and will soon (hopefully) be new to hot tub ownership. We have an existing concrete pad that is 5.5' x 11'.  However, it is not completely level, it slopes up to about a half an inch.  And, we want to get a tub that is about 7' x 7', so obviously the pad it not quite bit...
