Starting up a hot tub

[dogsbody]

Not use, sanitation. One person in a 425 gallon hot tub is the same as 80 people in my 34k gallon pool.....

***when we are talking about FC consumption and filtering.

Imagine if I threw a raging party everytime we used the pool. That's what I'd need to do to blow through 7 ppm (?) per use in my pool. From a maintaining perspective, hot tub bather load is insane, compared to a pool.

The hot tub will require alot more attention per bather hour. The same bather makes up to 80x the dent, depending on which one he hops in. That, to me is insane.

Sure, that comparison makes all the sense in the world, but remains abstract to those of us without pools. We gotta do what we gotta do and the comparison doesn't alter the equation.

I get all that, but you dodged the question. If you can't offer your definition of "sane" hot tub use, it doesn't make a lot of sense to characterize ours as "insane".

He meant all bather loads in a hot tub are insane compared to an average swimming pool (which averages 2-4ppm/day fc loss btw). Not implicating yours specifically.
Thats just the nature of the beast with spas. Almost more people than water in there when you think about it.

Yeah, I got that.
