When I ran my ozonator in my swim spa I would lose 50% of my chlorine per day. Ozonator finally died and I haven't cared to replace it. Without it I can shock the spa and go 4 or 5 days without having to worry about it and I can more easily tell whether my sanitizer loss is from gunk or the...

Do you have the ability to cut off your ozone generator? When my ozone generator was working on my swim spa I found that it was burning through close to 50% of my FC each day (CYA of 35-40, temp at 95). When you are dealing with half-life's it makes it hard to get the chlorine high enough to...

What has been your experience using a SWG in your hot tub? I currently have a 2400 gallon swim spa that I run using the Bleach method for hot tubs. It works great, but I get admittedly lazy/forgetful at times so I end up over chlorinating to give me a buffer in case I forget to check my...

Forgot to add... I run Dichlor at a new fill up until my CYA hits 40 ppm, then I switch to liquid chlorine.

Sounds like you still have something burning your chlorine, but I find that in my swim spa the ozonator burns off about half of my chlorine each day.

I've been running my swim spa for 2 years now and it was hard find specific information for them. I ended up treating it like a hot tub and following the thread that mknauss linked for you. One key is the Chlorine. Use chlorine with no additives, and know that all chlorine is not created...

Just a quick followup in case anyone is trying to learn a swim spa. I ended up solving my smell issue by super-chlorinating. I think the smell I was noticing was just chloramines from gunk that was left over from the test fill at the factory. Once I shocked the heck out of it the smell...

I mentioned it once, but didn't continue all the way though... so it could easily have been missed. All CYA levels so far are calculated based on Dichlor additions to fresh pool fill. Once CYA gets above 30 I'll do the actual CYA test. So far I've added 7 oz of Dichlor to 2400 Gallons = 11.0...

Background: My new ATV 17' Swim Spa (2400 gallons with ozonator) was delivered last Thursday. Based on flow rates I was getting from my tap I was expecting it to be full by that night, so when it was about half full I added enough dichlor to raise the final pool fill to 10 PPM FC...

If you can afford it, I would go Swimex. I’ve swim tested Traditional Swimex, Endless pools (traditional and Spa), Phelps, and ATV. By the way... that is the order of quality of swim current as well. I did not get to try the Triton, but based on design and talking to owners it should be as...

Swim Spa is finally being delivered tomorrow. I think I pretty much everything the pool company is telling me matches up with what I've read here except where to aim for on TA. Tested my well water last night and TA was 135. Pool company was happy with that and wants me to leave it there. I...

Hi everyone. I've been lurking here for a couple of years trying to do my research before purchasing a pool or swim spa. Now the time has finally come and I have a 17' ATV 17 Sport on the way (unfortunately it won't be here until October). Per the manufacturers specs it should be approximately...

Thanks for your replies Gwegan. I've seen plenty of pictures of these and other swim spas installed in garages, so I know it's possible. I'll be heading to the codes office next week to have the discussion with them and see if they foresee any snags. I'm thinking that the humidity can be...

I'm really more interested in the water quality aspects that I asked about earlier, because I will definitely make sure appropriate permitting is done before an install. However, I do appreciate the insight and things to consider on the physical install as well, and this may help: Endless Pool...
