Chas~ Thank you so much! This forum has been fantastic! So many knowledgeable people... Thanks again! -A

Hi all~ I am filling up our new spa for the first time tomorrow, (Artesian Resort 840L 475 Gallon) and was reading the pamphlets for the start-up chemicals (Leisure time) we got. I think we're going to go with a cholrine sanitizer system because Bromine just seems like a huge pain in the a$$ for maintenace. My question is: Is there a cheaper way to shock our spa? Can we use just plain old household bleach? Not be be a cheap-o, but thats stuff is expensive! Thanks in advance...

Thanks so much... I was getting concerned; snow is in the forecast!

Hi All- We bought an Artesian Resort 840L from Watsons that's being delivered in a few (3) days (yay!). The electricity is being hooked up on the 18th or 19th. We really want the thing up & running by the 21st for a party we're having. While reading the packet that we got when we paid for the beast, it said that we shouldn't fill it (first time, virgin fill) if the temp is to go below 35 degrees F. We live in Minneapolis... the projected low temps for this week are supposed to get down to 28 degrees! Is this accepted knowledge? If so, are there any workarounds? Thanks in advance... -A
