    Ordered one from "Hot Tub Works" online about a month ago. Had a good experience from start to finish. No damage in shipping either.

    Warranties: Robotic cleaners, SWG etc.

    Can anyone give me a take on just why we are out there spending close to a thousand dollars or more for a robotic cleaner or a SWG and the manufacturer can only give us a year warranty on most of these products? Sometimes you can find one for 2 years if your lucky and the ones that go any longer...

    Caulk for tile inside hot tub

    Hello folks. I am looking for a caulk that can withstand the heat and moisture of a hot tub. The old caulk that holds the small tiles I have around the interior (for decoration purposes) is due to be replaced. The folks at Home Depot gave me a product that is not holding up at all. I need...

    Spa SWG

    Ok folks, just received the Nature2 system but am a little confused on how to install it into my filter system. I have a stand pipe that the filter slips on and then a piece on top that screws on the top on the filter (closed top). I am only able to use one of the support stems due to size on...

    New Hayward salt and swim

    Thanks to all that have commented on this. It is helping me narrow down my options. It is very hard to decide on which one to get. You have price, chlorine production, warranty, and ease of use and installation all playing a role in my decision. I am looking for one with a plug-in option to make...

    Spa SWG

    Thank you for the info. Been looking around at different things and I came across the "Soft Soak" system by Bioguard. Anyone have any feedback on it? Liking the Nature2 system but wanted some clarification. It says to run the spa 4 hours a day? Is that just the recirc pump or the jets? Also I...

    Spa SWG

    Thanks for the comment. I am trying to stay away from anything that is irritating to the skin due to my wife and son having eczema. I have been using bromine for awhile now. The hot tub is inside a Florida room so it gets no direct sunlight so burnoff should not be a problem from the sun. I have...

    Spa SWG

    Anyone know of a good SWG for a hot tub? I have researched 2 of them so far and the chloromatic seems like a good choice but have not seen hardly any reviews on it. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

    New Hayward salt and swim

    Wanted to know if anyone has any input on these yet or if they would be a good/bad buy? Looking to change over to a SWG this spring for a 17,500 gal inground. Only can use the pool during summer months due to living in PA.

A trim of sorts. This trim has to be glued on and now I have rust building behind it and I am looking to...
