Thanks, yes that would be the one.. I went back like 5 pages couldn't find it and gave up. But yes, I think my "Experiment" was/is a success! Nice to be able to fill the hot tub with fresh water and not recycled pool water, especially with the different amounts of salt they take! Just thought...

So, I posted on this before but its been a while and I could not find the thread, anyhow.... I know there is mention of getting rid of iron in water to keep the tub clean and here is my method, easy, small expenditure, and always works! I started out by noticing my sand filter in my pool would...

Ok, same with me..

So do you do anything to try to alter the soft water? I too have very soft water from my well and I don't seem to have any ill effects from it. I guess that would be different with a concrete or gunnite pool.

Just remember you will have a Chlorine hot tub if you do this, the SWG just turns the salt into chlorine.

I think I've had mine for 15 months now and it runs about 8 hrs a day, 2 sessions of 4 hours each, still going strong as far as I can tell. Not sure I'm allowed to do this here, but I'd be interested in your spare cell if you are wanting to part with it. PM me I guess.

A lot of times if my tub is getting a little low, and a big rain is coming I open mine on purpose to fill it a bit. My lid also has drain holes on the underside toward the middle and if it feels heavy I'll stand one up in the middle for a bit to let it drain. The baseball hat is a good idea, we...

I switched to the Saltron mini about a year ago and have had no issues at all, made it so much easier to take care of! My tub did come with the titanium heater so if there is a problem with a stainless one I have not had that issue.

I'm sure they didn't make as much money as if they had built them one!

Yes, my pool came with a SWG (Reasonably expensive option) and a year maybe 2 after getting this Hot Tub I splurged and got the mini. So pleased with the results. SWG in the pool died after about 5 years and the replacement was $900 and change... money well spent. I still use those 3" pucks...

I guess you better pay up then! Years ago we looked into a site built hot tub and while they look good, they do not have all the goodies a stand-alone one does. And two bodies of water to take care of just doesn't bother me much, unlike what some people think, a pool or hot tub just is not that...
