Ditto, Welcome to TFP! I had a Hot Springs Grandee for many years at my last house & after 20 years in my current house i recently bought another one(Envoy) which so far I'm very happy with. I bought it because I just had Cervical surgery and I'm in the Tub a couple of times a day for pain...

+1- it's normal- mine were installed in may and already like yours

i have a Envoy with ACE & it also has the ozonator shut down

Sorry, cant tell much from the Pic. Have you calculated how much the tub needs to be raised on the low side? How about having some large pavers (like 18" ) cut into wedges and use them as shims?

I have a new Envoy which is 390Gal vs your Grandee 450Gal. My bather load is one person for two 30min dunks per day, Temp set to 102. I have the ACE set to 6 for the output level and the status stays within the green zone.- since its new to me I test a couple of times a week and have added...

need to get rid of the 'E' in true TruClear Saltwater Chlorinator | Jandy Pro Series

I'm guessing that if you can plug up the other side or the valve(inside the pool) you could do it while the water is in the pool. BTW the amazon link showed this valve as well which maybe helpful...

The 6 button layout of the control panel could be for a G-3? There could be a model number/serial # sticker where the pump(s) & heater are installed?

Congrats on the Envoy. Mine was installed today & im waiting for the Temp to rise- You saved over $10K over a new one so even if you have to replace some 'stuff' your way ahead of the game There is a lot of DIY service/repair videos on youtube, here's a few Hot Spring circulation pump air...

Juts an FYI, a new hot springs Envoy has a street price of around $12K so if the thing works, pumps(3) heater and controls it sounds like a steel, also contact the local dealer and get an understanding of replacement parts cost

Hot springs offers a Salt system option thats called ACE.. It's pricey with a street cost around $1400 & a cell life expectancy of 2/3+ years @ $600. I have read mixed owner reviews about the system as well as some have found posts about replacement cell's etc at lower costs Ive have reviewed...

Pooldv I understand completely and i said: 'As a noob I can only imagine that good filtration would make a difference in water life expectancy?" i didn't say it had anything to do with water sanitation .

Again I have to re-state that I’m pretty much a Hot Tub Noob and maybe quite wrong with some of my conclusions, which are based on info from product websites etc Also, I’m a card carrying Bleach Bum going on my 4 year using the TFP method, TF-100etc.. RE: spa filter systems are pretty...

Interesting post and I look forward to replies from the TFP Gurus as Im not a spa owner, Yet- Just ordered a Hot Springs Spa Envoy which should be up & running later this month. I cant find in your post nor the article the effect of the spa's filtering system as well as the fact that not all...

Are today's Bullfrog & Hot springs units worth the $'s over most other brands, about 50-100% more?
