Off topic, but response to the last post. What are the other two "major" spa sites? (this is an honest newbie question). Thx. J.

Newbie here We've just purchased a Coleman 471. It'll be here Sunday with electrician coming Wed (darn holiday). One question coming to mind. My father-in-law has a spa, and he drops the temp from 101 to about 97 or so when not in use (it's a Coleman, too...I think he puts it on "econ" mode). This seems like a great idea, but makes for a 30 minute wait whenever you want to go hop in. - Is this temp decrease really saving much money? I'm assuming we'll use the tub once a day to once every other, so is this worth doing? - Has anybody tried both and assessed how much of a difference there is in electric consumption? - Is this something everyone does that I just didn't realize? Thanks in advance! J.

Hi. First post, but I've been doing a lot of reading here. I have a Coleman 471 being delivered on Sunday, and the site I'm looking to place it on consists of concrete pavers with about a 3/4 inch drop from one side to the other across the 88" length of the tub. Doesn't appear to be compound...just an even, gradual drop. Is a 3/4 inch drop enough to warrant building a platform like sinker's? That's about 1/10 inch per foot. I read somewhere else (I think) that 1/16 was the max acceptable. Thoughts? Thanks in advance. J. (Funny, looking again, I guess I read the 1/16 thing here....)
