Guzz Posted March 31, 2006 Report Share Posted March 31, 2006 Do you think you can become any more complacent or do you have a little more in you? If you'd just come off a fishing trip you'd be complacent too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brulan1 Posted April 3, 2006 Report Share Posted April 3, 2006 Winnipeg's average temperature over the coldest month (not all winter), January, is actually -17.7 C based on historical data averages. Take into account the other winter months, which are historically much warmer on average, and your overall winter average would be much warmer than -17.7 C. Winnipegs average winter temperature is probably more around the -10C range. Temperature debate aside, FF vs TP shouldn't be an issue when buying a tub as you are buying it for COMFORT, and of course quality, and quality can be found in BOTH types of tubs depending on the manufacturer. I own an arctic spa, my power went out for several days to my tub during a cold snap (-40C) and i hadn't noticed as i wasn't using my tub that the breaker was tripped inadvertantly when another breaker in the house went and somebody (wife?) hit the tub breaker not knowing and didn't turn it back on (arguement here for having your gfci outside and not in your panel? LOL). Anyways, after 2 days (we knew when it was tripped), i went to use my tub. Found out what happened, turned power back on, and the water temp was still at 97F (ok, not consistent with C vs F), so there really isn't much heat lost through the doors, and my plumbing was not frozen at all. This show's to me that arctic does build a good quality tub that holds it's heat well, and i'm not making a plug for or against FF or TP, i don't look at my insulation, i look at my tub, and sit in my tub, and try not to think about insulation, or bills, or whatever . . . just relax, burn one, enjoy a beer, whatever. Oh, my father in law has a FF tub, 2 years now, no problems and his bills aren't much different, but i like my seating better :-) That is a great point considering the minimal difference with all the top manufacturers. I have learned alot a benefits from full foam since I joined the forum. I only thought thermal lock or pane was the best but they both have the advantages and disadvantages.
