Purchasing hot tub ?..

[Realstinger]

Should I buy a saltwater hot tub and how hard is it to maintain, cost.?.... I have a 300 gallon saltwater aquarium running for 16 years. I need plenty of pros , cons , best equipment

rs,

I have a small 200 gallon, 3 person, saltwater, hot tub that I just love... I find it very easy to take care of, just like my saltwater pool..

The main difference is I don't have to drain my pool every 90 days like I do my hot tub..

When this one eventually dies, I 'll be buying another one the next day..

Thanks,

Jim R.

SWG in a spa works great. I have a 750 gallon built-in. With SWG consistency is key. I have the ability to run the SWG for a specific amount of time, and what I have found, is I run the SWG @ 100% for for 30 mins with a 97 degree water temp every day, and my chlorine level stays fairly consistent. When we get in the spa, we turn the SWG on to compensate for bather load, and leave it on while we are in the spa. Keeping the temperature a constant is the key.
