    I don’t know of any in that price range I would consider. Maybe a used one??

    Powerful jets

    I would definitely buy from a long time dealer. It will break. Jet mat crack. You will be glad you have a dealer to go to. Definitely at least sit in some. You won’t need water to see how you like the contour, the uprightness, etc. My wife and I had a brand picked out (big name reliable)...

    Basics for a TFP Hot Tub/Spa?

    When I SLAM, I check my Cl level to be sure it gets where it’s supposed to. It seems I always have to add a little more Cl than what is called for.

    Coming up on the first year of my Sundance 880, learned a lot along the way, but have a few more questions...

    If there is a one day gap, I stay with my schedule. If I’m gonna be gone several days, I take it to 16 ppm chlorine and hope for the best. If I’m gonna be gone for a week, I have some lovely neighbors…

    Coming up on the first year of my Sundance 880, learned a lot along the way, but have a few more questions...

    I expect the plastic to fade a little over time. Two of use our tub every day. I add 2 oz liquid chlorine am and pm. I think you will be much happier adding small amount of chlorine daily. I use Aqua Finesse on a weekly basis. I purge every 6 months with AhhSome gel.

    Clear Plastic Debris on Hot Tub Floor

    Check your jets. That would be my first place to look. I’ve had 3 break in my first 18 months.

    Is CYA always this weird?

    I messed up by daily adding Dichlor to get my CYA up. I, like you, have learned to wait a few days as the CYA "release" is a really delayed reaction. Next fill I will be a lot more patient as I raise my CYA with Dichlor.

    Chlorine or bromine

    What an idiot! Yes, I run from trichlor. Only use Dichlor. Thanks for correcting me.

    Chlorine or bromine

    Chlorine. Cheap, effective, traditional, etc. Dichlor (correction) at first and moving to liquid bleach at CYA 30-40.

    Fake tan is heinous

    So….fake tan is a definite No No in a hot tub? If so, me and she gotta have an interesting discussion.

    Fake tan is heinous

    I’m not familiar with your “purging”chemicals as I only use AhhSome for purging. I just use a microfiber towel to wipe off any gunk (biofilm) from the acrylic before the gunk dries. If you are satisfied you have killed what you needed to kill, I’d do a final purge with AhhSome. I’d run it 3-4...

    Suggestions for trouble free chlorine maintenance

    I don’t know how correct this is but for the first 9 months, I tried to keep my Cl at the minimum for my CYA of 30 which is 3. I had added some products (which I won’t mention here) that claim you can lower your Cl to 1-2. Very bad mistake. I would often wake up and test 0 Cl. During the last...
