  1. Hey, I thought I would resurrect this topic to see if there are any new experiences with water loss during winter months. We have an Arctic Spa and live in Canada and it does get cold here. We've had some very cold weeks of weather but that said, it seems to me we were losing water at a similar rate when it was slightly warmer. I had read on a separate thread where one fellow said he was losing about 3 inches ever couple of weeks. This seems to be close to what we are losing. We aren't using our tub more than every other day and there are only two of us. I realize we lose water every time we get out but again, that shouldn't amount to much given the few times we're using it these days. I have checked inside the tub with all pumps on and can't see any leaks and no standing water in the tub itself. Are any of you experiencing similar loss during colder winter temps?
  2. I have an 8 person arctic spa and I live in alberta. I use my hot tub 3 to 4 times a week for about 45 minutes to an hour each time. I keep it at 102 degrees. I was told it would raise my electric bill by about 30 a month during winter, but I have seen it raise my electric bill by closer to 80 per month. I am trying to figure out if this is normal. Thank you for any help.
  3. Put in a small heated above ground pool for my autistic adult son this summer. He (and we) have enjoyed it far more than we expected and spend at least an hour a day in the pool. In order to keep going in the winter I was thinking about putting a Fitimax 7 by 7 by 54" therapy pool in a shed that is right next to the pool. I recognize the moisture issues and am going to deal with them but I have a question about heating the pool. If I had my choice we would use the natural gas heater that is used to heat the outdoor pool, run a pipe indoor where it connects to a small filter which then connects to the pool. I would hire someone to run the piping but have not talked to anyone yet. Does it sound feasible to anyone to use the Hayward gas heater in the winter in the fashion I am talking about? I do not want to bring the gas heater inside as I know that raises lots of issues and I'd sure prefer to not use an electric heater as I think I'm pushing it in terms of amperage. Thanks, Jeff
