    spa temp in winter

    Thank you. Yes, it's Hayward Omnilogic and we can set any temp. What's hard to tell is whether maintaining 80 makes much difference in gas costs than maintaining 65. We're on propane, but so is our furnace and oven, etc., so very difficult to monitor consumption of just the spa heater.

    spa temp in winter

    This is our first winter with our inground fiberglass salt water spa. We're in Northern Indiana and will see temperatures in the teens and tens at some point during winter. We have a gas heater that heats very quickly. We've been maintaining 80 degrees and turning it up to 99 when we want to use...

    We really appreciate the wealth of knowledge we've seen here. We are first-time pool and inground spa owners. The build started just shy of 3 months ago. Pool and spa have been usable for about 5 weeks now.

    air in spa filter basket housing

    New pool and inground spa owner here. We truly appreciate the wealth of knowledge here. This thread refers to our spa. Both pool and spa are fiberglass, completely independent of each other (separate SWG, filters, pumps and heaters). Our spa pump (Hayward Tristar VS 900) has never fully...
