New Spa/Hot Tub Owner

[teecajun]

Hi. I am Teecajun from SW Louisiana. Bought a Clearwater Spa/Hot Tub 11/2023 to ease the maturing process. Love the Spa/Hot Tub. Great for the body and soul.

Retailer sold with the Chlorine eAse Frog Floating System. Great concept. However becoming very expensive to use. The Chlorine module is only lasting 2 weeks or so rather than 3 to 4 weeks as claimed. Retailer's assistance/recommendation is always to sell more product rather than to understand or solve why Chlorine module not lasting. The Clearwater Spa/Hot Tub has 24/7 circulation pump.

As such I have joined TFP for assistance and guidance.

This causes many to suffer from higher chlorine demand right out of the gate.
It is also recommended to purge, dump, & refill your spa every 3-6 months as part of routine maintenance.
