Does anyone know where I can purchase a spa booster seat, for sitting higher in the tub. I am looking for it to be filled with something other than water. We saw a sand or some substance-filled one once, and I can't seem to find another like it. I don't like the look of the water-filled ones. Thanks.

Great, thanks all, I will close off on this topic now. 10 sleeps till spa time! Bye all.

It is a Monarch CD ozone system. Not sure what that means, anyone?

Waterbear, thank you so much for your help. Great answers! So I really think we'll start with chlorine, however I am still confused about the ozonator. Should we really disable it. That seems to be a waste since it's a nice option we did pay for. Is it really not usefull with the chlorine at all? Thanks. Thanks I think we'll stay away from biguanide for now. What is dichlor? I'm confused with your statements on this "dichlor routine". Can you please clarify? Thanks.

Wow, what the heck was that all about. Thanks to all for your great opinions. I appreciated the view on Softsoak, and I knew what you meant. I don't care about the specifics of the chemistry, Waterbear. I only care about what it does to my skin, the swimsuits, and the tub. Any other valid opinions out there? This was certainly an option I hadn't heard of. Thanks again all! What? Are you saying you use chlorine and really like it? No smell or irritation? What about the suits? What are you saying about dichlor? So any other opinions on biguanide out there? Thanks.

Thanks, great reply. You're right he did mention he shocked it that day. Chlorine seems the best option to start. Have you heard of a cup of Hydrogen Peroxide per day, nothing else? We know two people doing this and they love it. P.S. I always thought I was a pretty good speller..ha ha... Thanks, I think we'll go with chlorine. We do have an ozonator, is that OK? Th spa will be really sheltered, under a roof, surrounded by deck, but outside. Thanks!

Thanks all, we passed on this. Went with a new Caldera Niagara. Guy is still calling me.

The best price we had so far on the Aspire was 10,195. Sounds like a good deal. Wea re going with a Niagara floor model (not wet) for 9,950. We did tons of research. We loved Caldera. Where abouts are you??

Okay we finally bought a spa(Caldera Niagara). Any opinions on which chemicals are best to start. Bromine or chlorine? When we did the wet test they had chlorine in it and I was so itchy the next day! Also we have small children. Thanks!

Actually I saw the bill of sale. OK maybe he got ripped off. We're talking CDN prices right?

Yes it was an Epic for sure. Only seemed crowded on the two middle seats, not the corners. Thanks again.

The hole is 10' x 10' , 2' deep. There will be 6" of screening, then patio stones. Recessed 16" to match up with level of deck. (400 sq. feet, red cedar)

Help? There is a huge hole being dug in my backyard for the spa we haven't bought yet. Any opinions on these two models?? They are both $10,400. We thought the Marquis was a little crowded in the footwell, but the extras were great (remote, wall remote, lights, waterfall). Caldera has nice options too. Both solid construction. Thanks!

We are thinking about buying a used 2002 Hot Springs Landmark Spa. They paid $14,000+ and want $7500 Firm. We saw the tub, it is sheltered, spotless, quiet and running beautifully. There is 8 mos. left on the warranty. It has a hydraulic cover lifter. Is this a good tub to buy?? Three pumps, continuous filter, etc. Seems a lot for an older tub, but it is in our price range. Is it good enough quality that four years is nothing? Thanks for any help.
