It sounds like the ozone is creating the noise. Ask your dealer.

if you have it set for 104 and it isn't within a degree + or -, then there's a few things to look at. If you haven't CHEMICALLY cleaned your filters in the last 3-5 weeks, it's time. Secondly, do you see an icon on the control screen of a sun/timeclock? That would mean your summer timer is on...and would affect your spa ability to heat. All things considered, it sounds as though the temp sensor is out of spec. All WATKINS parts come with a year warranty. Replace the temp sensor.

1st if your ozone is a uv-type, it's a bit past its 18-22 month effectiveness. If you do your research, there are some really good uv units available today. Corona Discharge has shown some better longevity. Over-saturation? Doubtful. Where are your readings on the water test or from your strips?

If you have a local dealer to test water and balance you up, great. Otherwise, balance the water first yourself. Go out and get yourself a 1lb. bottle of spa chlorine, dichlor. Chlorine is compatible with bromine. Add about 1 cup of the spa chlorine with jets running and spa cover off for 1 hour. Remove your filter(s), hose them off, put in a bucket of water with 1/2 cup spa chlorine, let stand for i day. Put bucket out of reach of small children or a dog tempted to drink it. Test spa to see if you have a free bromine/chlorine level. If you do, the next day reinstall your filters after hosing them off well. By the way, by adding spa chlorine to an existing bromine spa, the chlorine instantly turns into bromine but with some extra kick. That should do it. If not, drain it. Super-sanitize that filter and start again.

Be firm. First, back to the manufacturer and demand to know how it will be handled, in what time frame and when will they be contacting you next. You've set some boundaries. Let them know if a resolution is not made after a reasonable time, you will be contacting a consumer group like BBB. If you feel you've gotten the run-around by your dealer, going to the manufacturer is the right step.

If you experience a "choking" smell of bromine in your spa..Balance water chemistry and shock more often. Most likely due to low Ph and high combined bromine. Take that action and get back to us with the results.

You will have some serious problems balancing your jetsetter if you think it's 350 gallons. It's exactly 215 gallons. Here's some good info for your jetsetter water care.. http://scarritt.com/spasanitizing.htm

If it don't leak, don't touch it. But if you are going to replace them check with CalSpa to see if the jet is sealed on the BACKSIDE of the shell. Some spas are gasketed at the backside of the shell, some are gasketed on the water side. Good to find out either way. It's not a ten minute job, could and probably will turn into a nightmare!

Make sure the water you're getting into is well cared for......maybe have them dunk a test strip into the water so you can see it's balanced. Water should be sparkling clear too!

Our thoughts on chlorine and ozone. You use the spa, then add chlorine when finished. Couple days later, the ozone oxidizes the chlorine out. Great! The ozone keeps the water oxidized while you haven't used it. NO need to maintain chlorine level every day or so. You go to use the spa, great!, practically zero chlorine. Then add chlorine when you're done. On HotSpring or Tiger River spas, ozone it going in ALL of the time. It's easy for these to keep the water clean and oxidized by the ozone when the spa hasn't been used. Other brands may require increased filter cycles of the main pump in order to put in enough ozone throughout a day.

Congrats, you'll love it!!!!! Another one in HotSpring hot water.

We sell it. It's not cheap, small spas around $800. to $1,200 for large ones. We've seen some use regular house-type vinyl siding. A bit tacky though, but maintenance free.

Check with your dealer. Some spa manufacturers have specific requests.

I'm sure you'll get an orientation at home once your spa arrives, but this may give you a jump start. http://scarritt.com/spasanitizing.htm

sorry, i thought it was an older spa.

try this: http://scarritt.com/spasanitizing.htm You could dump the water, refill, run it for a few minutes and dump it again. But we don't feel it's necessary. Just dump it, refill, balance alk, ph, calcium then shock with chlorine.

Nice!

You may have bubbles, but is there ozone being generated? I'm usually suspicious of older ozone units. Have someone check it out for you. Ozone is beneficial with any chlorine or bromine schedule.

Sounds like you're from new england, owning a downeast. Better not have been one of my HS stores that turned you off. That's too bad you were treated as you were, I really think it's the dealer who makes any spa great.

try this http://scarritt.com/spasanitizing.htm

sounds as though your store may not be asking you the right questons and just throwing something at you. you might want to ask if there's someone there who can handle your specific usage and correct the porblems with your experience. You can try any one of the systems on our page. We generally set people up on Chlorine(dichlor). http://scarritt.com/spasanitizing.htm Missing from our monthly section is the following... Once a month while performing a shock treatment with chlorine or bromine, use the a clean rag or sponge, take super-chlorinated/ super-brominated water from the spa and wipe the spa shell above the water line and underside of cover.......this eliminates a musty smell you can get from those surfaces. Do not discount the importance of Alkalinity, ph, and calcium. With those levels in the "oK" range, the water feels the best, the santizer works the best, and the spa experience is the best.

everything i know about nature2 and bromine is they are incompatible. King Tech-, makers of Frog, may have some new innovative technology on getting bromine and silver to work together. We do not sell it. Bromine tabs do work fine, best for a spa with infrequent use and no ozone. In addition to the tabs, you can use granular Bromine, Granular Dichlor(chlorine) and/or your mps. question for you. do you notice your ph dropping in the spa? bromine tabs are very acidic.

Since the water change part has been covered, I'm interested in the 8 hours for 40 degrees. 7-10 degrees an hour is a good average for heating spa water w/ 240v. You probably knew this, but make sure your air controls are off when you're initially heating the spa or when you're done using it. Just a thought.

I think you'll find that the seats with the motojets are in a reclined position. Nice, open, barrier free design. Good luck to you.

You really like hot water!!! Best to talk with the folks you bought it from or the manufacturer. Of course there's somthing(s) you can do, but it's not my place to tell you. Good luck.
