They answered promptly on both occasions, I didn't say I was gonna buy anything as regards the filter, I just asked for the part number. The level of skepticism on here is like nothing I've ever experienced before. Thanks for the advice about the tech I will follow up on that.

Hi There, I was wondering if someone familiar with the Legacy Whirlpool (MasterSpa) Inspire knew if it was Ozonator ready, i.e. has a tube already to attach an ozonator to? Thanks for any advice. Cheers Jonathan

I took your advice SpaSavant, I contacted MasterSpa via email initially (sent late in the evening) regarding the part number for the filter so I can buy a spare, they responded very promptly at 6am the next morning. I followed up by asking about the local dealer/tech as the one listed on their site is the expo center that we bought the tub from, again they responded very promptly with the details of a tech about 60 miles away. I contacted the tech who said they did cover our spa and our area, so am feeling much better about the whole thing now. Gotta say so far - and that could of course change, I've had a pretty pleasant experience with the spa. Thanks for the advice. Take care, Jonathan

THink we settled on between 96-98, at least for now, lovin' it so far!

Our hot tub is currently on it's first heat cycle, the water started at 65f and I was planning to heat to 85f initially, but I was wondering what is are typical temperatures that people set to? I'd rather have it lower so I can soak longer than super hot and only be in for 10 minutes, but I'm not sure if 85f will be even hot enough initially? Cheers Jonathan

Thanks, unfortunately I bought the hot tub from one of the expos that everyone hates so much on here, that was before I discovered this forum by which point we had committed. That said all is well with the spa so far. Tonight I did fill it and added the metal gon, everything started up fine, the pumps all ran, the heater is heating it now at about 5 degrees an hour uncovered - we stood watching it for half an hour, cover on now . I plan to test the water tomorrow evening, adjust and shock it, then jump in once the water is ready. My biggest fear is lack of support when the day comes that it needs some maintenance, but not much I can do about that right now. Cheers Jonathan

I am no expert having just got our first spa, but I think your spa manual should state the acceptable grade/slope, I think if you are within 1-2" you're ok.

Hi There, Since I last posted, the spa arrived, we had a concrete pad poured for it, moved the tub onto the pad (waiting till tonight to start the fill - 6 days after pour) and today the power should be hooked up so I intend to start filling. I wondered if there are any tips or gotchas I should know about an initial fill? The kit I got with the spa said I should first clean the tub with fastgloss, which I have done, it then recommended that on the first fill I should tip a bottle of Metal Gon into the water. I tested our water, I think it may be a little high on the ph side - around 8 and low on calcium. I was wondering what sort of water maintenance program, and what products other Master Spa owners use? Any other tips for the initial pour other than fill through the filter hole. Thanks for any advice Cheers Jonathan
