What I do when I drain my tub for the summer, I put a full cup of chlorine in the tub and run the jets and make sure they are all open. Then I drain it the next day or a few hours later. I think with only being gone for a week you will be fine. Just give it a healthy scoop of chlorine when you refill if you are not going to use the shopvac on the jets. Hope that helps!

I don't see why not as long as it isn't possible for it to get sucked into the plumbing.

You can contact Silkbalance on their website to ask a question.=)

I was told it was okay to use a water softener as long as I add extra hardness, but now I'm on Silkbalance.

Let us know what happens!

1 vote for Caldera... I can't stand it when I hear my neighbor's Artic filtering at night, sounds like he is running some heavy duty equipment in his backyard...

One thing I always found weird about Thermospas, was that if they are factory direct why are their prices so high??

Have you tried to contact a local dealer? IMO $800 for a 91 is kinda steep, but if you love it, it doesn't matter. There are a couple of really good techs on here that might know how to diagnose your hot tub issues. Good Luck!=)

So what did you end up picking?

Yeah I heard Freeflow are good tubs.

How about the Hot Spring Bengel?

I love that baking soda idea! I'm going to do that!=) Thanks

In Arizona you should be fine with a tub like that. Anywhere farther up north I don't know if it would be able to maintain the heat very well without having an actual heater it would probobly have to run all the time.

I do it all the time, I'm going to drain my spa tonight as its way to hot to even use it now. Before I drain it I put a full scoop of chlorine in the tub and run my jets so anything in the plumbing can get chlorinated then I drain. When I fill up again in the fall I do a spa purge before setting up.

wow I didn't even know that was possible!

What's the open gap of the side for??

I have a 2001 Jetsetter and I love Hot Springs!!!

You might want to check spa depot.com

You might want to check the reviews on rhtubs.com but keep in mind more people put in effort to complain then do people who are happy. But I bet someone on this forum has info regarding Master Spas, you can also type in master spas on the search engine on this site and read pasts posts. Good Luck!

Any new news?

spa depot sells them for $299 and free shipping

so which one are you leaning towards?

The Hot Springs Vanguard has a little water feature that you can run without running jets, but I wouldn't call it a waterfall..

I've never heard of that model. Is it a Solana?
