Really nice to see your data on power consumption (note the excel sheet is unavailable). Thanks for posting. I do not have my tub yet (on order) but I have an energy monitor on the hot tub circuit to give me the usage data once we get it.

Hello, I have noticed that a number of older posts of Canadians trying to buy the Taylor K2006 test kit have run into crazy prices.

Thanks for the advice so far. Our tub will be about 7 feet from the back door. I am on the east coast of Canada. Will not have any automated treatment capability.

Hello, Although this is my first post, I have been using this forum for information and education for some time. Thanks to all of the members for sharing information. I ordered our first hot tub in July 2020 that we are expecting to receive sometime this winter. I have been looking online for information on how best to use it in the winter, but I have not found what I was looking for. Lots of articles on covers and water levels, etc. What I really want to know is what the experienced hot tubers do in freezing conditions. Do you go out while dressed for winter and take the cover o
