  1. Go to the attached link: and save a copy of the .pdf. page 14 gives detailed directions for modification. http://www.platinumhottubs.com//EliteSpaManual.pdf I can't confirm whether this works. I have left mine performing the cycle. My electrical costs are acceptable and the water quality has been great with minimal chemicals reqd. (using Baquaspa). So I havn't been driven to modify yet. However, I would like to change the TOD that the cycles occur, which I think were set at time to plug in. But havn't played with it yet. Good point. However my perception is that there is a full time circulation pump. there is clearly full time circulation and the oxonator is operating continuously ( as evidenced by the bubbles?)
  2. It is a 220 volt. Temp drop isn't a problem when theweather is above freezing. The tub is 375 gallons. You're right about the wind impact. The more pumps you run and the blowers effect the drop as well. But overall it stays warm enough for a good soak under all conditions so far.
  3. A quick update on the Costco (Hydrospa Tub) I installed in January. The shipping company found and delivered the cover lift, which they had forgotten to deliver. Installation was easy, and it performs well. The cover lock downs work well and maintain a good cold seal The tub continues to perform faultlessly. Absolutely no problems at all. We love it. The four major groupings of jets are diverse and excellent, although we tend to most enjoy just soaking with no pumps or air. The foot jets are great as well and are greater in number than any of our friends tubs. In below zero weather, say 20 degrees, the temperature wil drop about 2 degrees (104>102) over about 40 minutes with the pump on low. The ozonator appears to work well. The chemistry is stable and I ony add/check chemicals about every 10 days. No scum or stain problems. Based on actual year to year consumption. The tub appears to cost about $50 a month to operate in February. Even running the twice daily automatic cycles which I've let run.
  4. Hello All; I appreciated the info provided in the formums and wanted to provide some feedback as I bought the Costco spa in January. The price delivered was as quoted, and delivery was in two weeks. The spa is shipped vertical on a large pallet. In my case the pallet had been damaged. The trailer had a drop gate. I moved the Spa using a trailer with a ramp. At +/- 900 pounds is was a bit bulky and rigging skills are required. This is not a simple object to move! Upon opening I noticed some ice in the wrapping and some white mold on the inner frame and floor. I photo documented. Otherwise the spa was perfect. Electrical hookup and startup were simple. Startup was flawless. No leaks or freeze up related problems were noted. I did note some corrosion on the screws that hold on the service cover, and replace them with better screws. The finish was excellent and jets of good quality and as advertised. Noted that controller now says HyrdoSpa. Heat up is about 5-6 degrees/hr. Performance of pumps and air systems is excellent. 4 friends with various spas have tried it out and agree this is better than their tubs. Top came with lift which was easy to install and works well. The spa has used very little in the way of chemicals. (Using BaquaSpa). Ozonator must be functioning well. I have been down to 0 degrees with no problems. Inner cones of 2 nozzles did pop out, but went back in with no problem, Tha large water volume and added depth of one of the seats is great. The four unique corner seats and nozzles are a nice feature. The tub takes 6 confortably with little water loss. Thus far, the tub appears to be a good bargain
