Hello all - I was able to purchase a used Tiger River Spa Hot Tub. Tiger River is, or was, a division of Hot Springs. It is a 2001 model, but was kept indoors. It looked to be in nice shape, but was not running due to a broken pvc three way pipe. It was also missing jets. I paid very little for it, and had it delivered to a spa repair/delivery company. The company ran it for a week, no issues. They fixed the pvc issue, ordered jets for the ones missing, the ordered new filters (my choice, I will try and clean the current ones to have backups) and will be delivering it this week.
I am just taking over my maintenance on my own pool, and own a TFT KL Kit with Speed Stir. We are going to place the hot tub near the pool, about fifteen steps away and expect some people to go in and out of the hot tub and pool when both are open. We plan to run the hot tub year round.
Can anyone point me to "hot tub 101"?
For example....
Water Chemistry - how to choose Bromine versus Chlorine? Does having it near a pool matter?
Basic equipment chemical needs - what things do I need on Day One to get off to a good start, additional test kits, chemicals, floaters, etc..
Other things to do regularly to have best experience and keep hot tub nice and enjoyable.
Is there a startup guide to filling, testing, etc.. on day one?
Thanks!
