hrustar Posted October 19, 2009 Report Share Posted October 19, 2009 Excited, worried, anxious, scared, giddy and concerned all at once. Excited because I've always loved hot tubs ad wanted one Worried because I hope I'm not in over my head with all the upkeep. Anxious because I made my own paver pad and hope its up to the task. In fact, I went overboard with 7 inches or so of class five fill and did my best to level that thing as much as possible. Scared because I love to research items before buying, and this time my wife and I just took the plunge. We bought a model similar to our friends who've had excellent service and operation thus far (and its a Calspa which seems to be the hated brand here, adding to my concern). Giddy because its almost winter here in Minnesota and I've never been hot tubing outdoors, let alone in the falling snow! Concerned because, well, despite reading just about every post ever listed on this site, I still feel like I'm in for some kind of "surprise." I SO HOPE THIS ALL WORKS OUT AND I LOVE IT. Now, I just need to get that electrician scheduled in the next day or so... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am in South Central Minnesota. Seriously don't worry a bit! Everything will be fine, your paver base is gonna work great...no worries. The upkeep is very minimal, take Nitro's advice and it's super easy with minimal fuss. Just splurge on a good test kit and you are good to go! Congrat's enjoy your tub!
