Loving the spa today, and like this time every year I'm thinking of treating the spa (mostly) separately from the pool this winter, only running the pool filter once every couple of weeks, to circulate the water.
This would allow us to keep the spa closer to our desired temperature, saving on heat up time and expense.
My thought is to keep the spa balanced (understanding that it's trickier with the lower volume/higher temp), and to raise the pool chlorine level in the pool every couple of weeks or so and let it drift down (but not below target.) The pool will be covered, so with cooler temps and less UV, it will lose chlorine more slowly.
I'm pretty achy-breaky these days and plan to be in the spa almost daily.
Thoughts, comments?
