I got the full foam option with my Marquis Everyday 660. While it may be true that the milder climate means less benefit from the full foam, we in the LA area suffer some of the highest marginal KW-hr rates in the nation (.39 in my highest tier, IIRC). So, the cost of inefficiency is big in this area. Secondly, I have read that the foam actually serves to provide stability by restricting movement of the internal plumbing and may actually help to prevent leaks. I guess it makes sense that it might reduce vibration around the jets and their plumbing joints. I had a Sundance for over 20 years that was fully foamed and it never had a leak until its end of life. Because of other failures (heater/pump and/or control panel) I never started troubleshooting the leak. From what I understand, it isn't all that much harder for a pro to troubleshoot a leak in a foamed spa. For me, exposing the sides of the spa will be a bigger issue if that happens as I have mine buried in a deck. lol your evaporation of water comes from not sealing it with a proper cover and that is a fact! The problem with full insulation and I cant believe anyone is doing that anymore i KNOW PL (Premium Leisure) doesnt for sure (i go to that factory) but sounds like the R factor is important due to your high energy in LA (i dont live there so I dont know) The problem with insulating is if you spring a leak it will be a mess and time before finding it. This is the MAIN reason they are insulating before plumbing spas. I know these other comments are great from very skilled men but I know what I am talking about too I been doing this for 7 yrs and seen and heard it all. Food Color ever so softly in the water in front of each jet without making a ripple in the water to determine where a leak is (ever so gently!) Jen

New Spas do not come insulated like the old ones cause that information is correct, your main loss is from the top so the cover is going to be very important and you shouldnt have an issue with the R factor on that since you live in LA. I say just get "foam in a can" from home depot if you want to insulate Jen

Not safely! You can adjust the sensors but it is NOT RECOMMENDED. Since there is not a pressure switch and digital that becomes complicated. 104 is the highest that unit will reach; sorry bout that (not my favorite unit) Jen

Dirty or old spa filter cartridge will cause that blockage and give you the DR error code. remove the filter cartridge and leave it out. make sure you are powered down for at least 1/2 hr to reset the memory and start up. daily usage should use 2 spa filters a year for the proper coverage per every 1 filter. Also this can happen if your filter cartridge has too much SqFt.

as a tech for several yrs I would definitely go with the marine sealant,, cheaping out will give you voids and in turn leaks that can ruin everything

Back Lighting is available just make sure your top panel cord doesnt have a second cord on it that may just need dusting off at the connection :)10226 is the part number

+1 Have to be careful removing the impellers because the reverse impeller is not available. It was for a short time but not anymore.. As for the Dually that was pulled and brought back by popular demand because lol its almost to impossible to put 2 pumps in there. That Dually may not be avail forever! unfortunately Seals are easy to change just be careful removing the impeller

I hope i gotcha in time! They sell off brand the "equivalent to" and that is truley a lie because the off brands are crap.. spend the money on a pleatco

I know Coleman well; your jets will most likely be pentairs cyclone jets which is now owned by Balboa Instruments

Stu, Aquaflo changed the design of the wetend about 6 years ago so if the impeller is gray you MUST replace the entire wetend.. Aqua Flo is the only name true to Horsepower rating and also you need to cautious about buying aquaflo as many people are substituting with waterway knock off version (dont be mistaken)
