  2. Thought On My New Spa

    in Portable Hot Tubs & Spas

    Posted

    Is it expensive to have ozone installed? Is it worth with if I don’t have a circ pump?

    From what I have read: - If you are in a warm climate - without a circ pump - the ozanator would only come on when the heater is running - you really don't need a several hundred dollar(US) Ozanator. May need to use more waterline chemical.

  4. Baquaspa System With Chorinated City Water

    in Hot Tub Water Chemistry

    Posted

    I wonder what you should do - if you are using a biguanide system - and the city water has chlorine.

    What if the pre-filter on the hose that you use - - when you fill the spa - still allows excess chlorine into the spa ?

    I am aware of options like: - leave the cover off for a day - and let chlorine oxidize ( dissipate to gas ) -

    - - use 5 gal buckets to to off spa instead of hose with a dechlorinator in the bucket ( Ugh!! )

    I would much rather fill it (solana tx - 160 gal. ) with a hose !

    If using a baquaspa system - can a dechlorinator be added to the spa water directly - if you test it and find chlorine present ??

    I know that chlorine and biguanide don't mix !

    Thanks for any info - am just newbee - trying to learn more !

  5. Solana Tx With 30 Amp And Ozonator ?

    in Portable Hot Tubs & Spas

    The TX runs about the mid three thousands, plus tax. We include delivery to the local area, a cover, and a startup supply kit.

    The conversion to 30A 110 only changes one thing: you can jet and heat at the same time. The heater is still a 1000 watt unit, capable of keeping the tub hot all the time. The cost difference is just the price of the sub panel which comes with the 30A breaker. You should price that same item from a local supplier to see if you can get it cheaper - the other HotSpring tubs use two breakers in the sub panel, and the price from the dealer is usually less than the local supply houses or home centers, but the TX only has ONE breaker in the panel, so it's a toss-up as to whether or not you could get it for less.

    The ozone system on the TX is not as effective as it is on the HotSpring models because the TX does not have the constant flow circ pump. It comes on only as the tub needs heat, and in a warm climate that might not be very often if at all thoughout the day.

    Also - the tub doesn't hold a tremendous amount of water, so you can easily change the water out more often. As a result I don't know if you would miss the ozone system or not. It can be added later if you decide.

    Many Thanks - very helpful Info -from a "nice guy"!

  6. Solana Tx Pricing

    in Portable Hot Tubs & Spas

    Am wondering - what is the price difference between the solana tx - with 115 V 15 Amp - and the conversion - the 115 V 30 Amp ? What is cost of 115 volt 30 amp sub- panel from Solana Dealer ?

    How much more do electricians charge to install the 30 amp sub-panel versus the standard 115 V 15 amp dedicated circuit??

    Thanks

    It seems like a higher voltage 220 v other brand or a 30 amp solana tx - is really only beneficial in a cold climate - where you use the spa for long periods.

    Am I right ?

  7. Solana Tx With 30 Amp And Ozonator ?

    in Portable Hot Tubs & Spas

    Posted

    I am wondering what prices are running for the solana TX - with optional ozonator and optional 30 amp conversion sub-panel ?

    Is it available with optional ozonator ?

    Is ozonator worthwhile to have?

    Also is 30 Amp conversion worthwhile in houston TX area ??

    If I don't like it too hot - and don't stay in for more than 15-20 minutes - would it just be better to get 15 amp 115 V standard hook-up ?? Cost difference ??

    From what I've read - an ozonator is really important to have.

    Any thought on this ??

    Many Thanks for any Info !!

  9. Not Sure Which One To Buy;costco Or Old Jetsetter?

    in Portable Hot Tubs & Spas

    Posted

    I just looked at the spa you were talking on the Costco website...

    2 things to think about.

    I would ignore the "Award of Excellence", these are usually payed for.

    IMO it is a mistake buying a tub with a lounger you can't wet test. I'm not sure if you've used a tub with a lounger or not but one size doesn't fit all. You can float or it can be uncomfortable. If you didn't like your lounger, thats half your tub wasted.

    Good Luck with what ever you decide.
