  1. Funny you mention that Walleye, the bleach I used was Chlorox regular splashless bleach and it foamed like crazy! Presently, I'm using Kem-Tek All-in-One chlorinating granules. Spa Wizards (CG and WB), I recalled reading that after shocking you should leave spa uncovered for 15 minutes to protect cover and gas build-up. Should same theory be applied when chlorinating water. My ritual has been to soak for 15 to 30 minutes, get out of tub, chlorinate tub ( I try to keep my chlorine level at around 4-5PPM), then close it up until the next evening. What are your thoughts?
  2. OK, CG! is there a difference between Shocking and super chlorinating?
  3. I've tried using bleach per Nitro's guide but it caused me to have a huge foaming problem. so after the first few weeks of fighting off foam I bought Kem-Tek all-in-one chlorinating granules. That product is about used up so I purchased ProTeam Di-Chlor along with Gentle Spa because of great reviews
  4. I'm 5'11" and my wife is 5'7" and we fit comfortably in tub, 6'3" would also be comfortable. The jets are very powerful, as you should be aware the 1040 comes with three 5 HP motors. Jet 1 is a two stage motor that controls the lounger, in stage one most people should be able to handle the water pressure (WP), stage two wide open is a bit much for my wife but there is a diverter valve next to lounger that allows you to dial back the WP. Jet 2 is also a two stage motor that controls the two Captains chairs and bench adjacent the lounger. Neck & shoulder massager is wonderful. Jet 3 is a single stage 5HP motor that controls the footwell and bench seats between lounger and Captains chairs it has a diverter valve next to filter housing that allows you to adjust the WP between the bench or footwell. I have mine adjust to send all WP to footwell because it allows you to have deep-penetrating hydro-therapy to your calves, ankles and feet.
  5. If I was designing this spa the only thing I would probably add is a 2nd balboa control system, but for 8K i don't think you can find anything out there that can touch it. Anything!!!
  6. My wife and bought this spa through Costco about eight weeks ago. Our intentions was to get the smaller version but Costco had a sale in March that provided a $1000.00 rebate on Deluxe 1040. The delivery happened inside of three weeks and our delivery man went the extra mile and pulled our spa 100 ft up our driveway with the help of me and my friends. (It's BIG) I have not had a single issue with the Spa, I think it is absolutely marvelous. It is beautiful to look at(Cobalt Blue shell), it is a conversation piece, it is a hydro-therapy dream. My wife is in it every night! Last Wednesday I woke very sore and fatigued from aerobics the night before, as I made my way to the bathroom at 6:15AM sore and half-asleep it dawned on me that "hey!, I got a hot tub." That was a glorious morning, I soaked to 7AM took a quick shower and went to work refreshed. I have now become a morning soaker, here in Alabama most morning are 50-60 degrees, the 100 degree tub is perfect with the jets massaging and the birds singing. Everything has been perfect for me, I did a lot of research and always imagined that my ideal tub would set me back about $16K to $20K, but I went into the purchase with Costco saying that I have a one year dissatisfaction (Money-Back) warranty with Costco and if I was not 100% happy I would be requesting a refund. Five weeks in and I am 150% satisfied with workmanship and build quality. I have not had to contact Divine so that's n/a. IMO this Divine Spa through Costco is a steal especially at $6999.99 I would not hesitate to make this purchase again!
  7. Can you recommend a good Shock product for a chlorine spa, everything I have found is made with Dichlor and since my CYA is perfect I rather use something else. Thanks
  8. I have this spa and in a word it is AWESOME! The MP3 stereo, the lights , water feature , jets are all fantastic.
  9. I hear a lot of people say they like the dichlor/bleach method but it's too needy. I do not have a tub yet and I like it! My question is what do you do to maintain spa when going on vacation for a couple of days or week. What is basic assortment of chemicals that one should have readily available. Thanks
  10. Good evening, good people! I'm AJ, brand new to the world of hot tubbing but I find the water chemistry aspects interesting. My wife has ordered a new Divine 440 GL spa and I'm doing some prep work to get prepared for what's coming in a few weeks. I've read, printed and highlighted NITRO'S Water Maintenance, I think that I'm going to enjoy this experience. However, I have a few questions. 1. When Nitro speaks about Dichlor is this in a liquid, granules or tablet form? Is their a preference? and is one manufacturer's chemicals preferred over another? 2. How thorough of a cleaning do you think is required on a brand new spa? 3. I read a lot of info on the site but I could not get a clear answer on how long will it take for me to get a spa usable after installation, because i know my wife and she is going to want to get in it as soon as the water is warm. Thanks AJ
