All,
I am in the process of taking bids and narrowing things down. Can you look at this and make recommendations to the first two? I have not decided on chlorine, chlorine with Ozone, or SWG. Not sure if 6ft spa is too small and need to go to 7ft. Should I get two LED lights? 5x10 tanning ledge big enough for two loungers? What depth? Anything else that stands out? Tear it apart all!
