The wording of that may be confusing but what they're saying is there is a tie-in line between the 24/7 circ pump (which the heater runs through) to the jet pumps. Therefore, if the jet pumps are off for days at a time a little bit of the heated water from the circ pump continually runs through the jet pumps to assure that water is always warm (also helps avoid stangant water if you don't use the pump for weeks on end). That's a safety net against the pumps freezing so I don't think you really need to worry much about that. Thanks for the reply, you talked me off the ledge regarding this!!

I find this forum VERY informative and I appreciate all the people who take the time to read and answer questions - I had made an earlier post about a spa I was looking at and the company was listed as Raindance. I had 2 replies and then did some more digging. I googled their address from their webstie only to find out they Infinity Spas ...so again thanks!! So, now I am thinking about purchasing a limelight flair spa-I was reading the owners manule pdf and came across this bit... "PREVENTION OF FREEZING Your Limelight™ hot tub has been designed and engineered for year-round use in any climate. In some areas, extremely cold temperatures (below 10°F, or -23°C), combined with strong wind, may cause partial freezing of the jet pump, even though the water inside the hot tub remains at the selected temperature. The energy efficiency of the hot tub may also decrease during these cold periods, as the heater will cycle more frequently. To avoid most problems associated with component freezing, the 24-hour continuous filtration system has been designed with bleed lines connecting the jet pump with the heating/filtering system. Since the heating system’s circulation pump runs continuously, cooler water in the heating and filtering systems is continually being replaced by warm water from the hot tub. As an additional precaution against partial freezing of some of the components, the equipment compartment can be insulated with an insulating kit (available from your Limelight dealer). This insulating kit will also help to maximize the hot tub’s energy efficiency. NOTE: When warmer weather returns (approx. 60°-70°F, or 16°-21°C), the insulating kit must be removed to prevent overheating of the jet pump. Please contact your Limelight dealer for additional information, or to order the insulating kit . I live 18 miles north of Boston and our temps drop WELL below 10 degrees and I had/have FULL intentions of hottubbing on my deck regardless of the temp outside or snow (sleet, I will pas on that!) -SO-some questions: 1) Has anyone bought this spa in a similar climate and used it? 2) Did you buy the extra insulation kit? If so cost and effectiveness comments? 3) Have you had any problems? 4) Overall comments on the performance of this sap-would you but it again 5) Anyone care to share pricing/purchase price paid. I am just scared of pumps/motors freezing and or the shell cracking in the winter-Suffice to say, I am the type of person that if it can go wrong, it will go wrong! Thanks in advance

Hi- I (as many other newbies) am looking for information about purchasing my first spa... I live about 18 miles north of Boston Ma-so I am going to need to make sure what I buy can be used in the winter and will not freeze up on me! I have read things till my eyes have popped out of my head and thank God I found this forum. I have been looking on e-bay and have come across a Raindance 2009 Camelot spa-I have done some reading and emails some of the folks that purchased the tub from a company called Wholesale Recreation. I have received positive responses from customers. I have emailed this company and asked about a sub-zero insulation package mentioned in the ad and they said it comes with the spa-this has all the bells abnd whistles (TV, stereo with pop up speakers) ANY information on this would be most welcome-thank you all in advance for your time!!
