Hello all. New to the forum but not hot tubs. Used to have a big expensive master spa hot tub, but just want a cheap and moderately small one. So I bought a plug and play that is convertible to 240vac which I will do. My question here is, regarding easy water maintenance. I’d prefer to stay or at least start with a chlorine based tub. I’m not a big fan of check the tub daily. Unfortunately the Nature2 or spafrog mineral stick will not fit in hot tub filter housing. So basically I’m looking at starting with the new smartchlor @ease system by spa frog. Or if I go bromine the floating mineral / bromine system. Anyone try the @ease, seems expensive but wondering real world longevity of chlorine part. Any insight on either system? Thanks all

Hello all! I’m getting ready to install my new hot tub. It is a plug and play that is convertable to 240v. I already have a Eaton CH 4 circuit 60 amp gfci sub panel installed when house built. There is a 60 amp breaker feeding the sub panel from main trying to save some money, but not sure if the 60 amp gfci would be ok to run the 50 amp hot tub. Of course would use the proper wire for 60 amps to the tub. Does it have to be cable or can I use individual 6 awg wire? Someone suggested moving the 60 amp gfci to the main panel and installing a standard 50 amp in the sub, but I don’t think NEC would like that! Ideally, I would like to just connect the tub to the 60 amp gfci Any suggestions would be helpful. Thank you.
