Bubbles in the water
My kids got in the hot tub with my husband briefly the other night and the water is foamy and has a lot of bubbles. I realized I had recently washed their swimsuit in the washing machine and assume the bubbles are a result of that. How do I get rid of it? And also I'm wondering if you're just not supposed to ever wash swimsuits or this will happen? Sounds like a stupid question but I have no idea.
Nature2 stick and Bromine
I just fill a new hot tub 5 days ago and let the Nature2 mineral stick in it while I used bromine sanitizer. I realized u shouldn’t have done that and took the stick out. Do I need to drain and refill since it was only 5 days? My hot tub also has an ozone system. Is ok to use bromine sanitizer with this?
How much can I negotiate?
I've shopped four different brands in five different stores and am having a hard time making a decision. I've come to the conclusion that my favorite hot tubs at each stop are pretty similar, and my decision is likely going to come down to price. My biggest question is, how much should I expect to be able to negotiate off the sticker price? I've even shopped two separate Master Spas stores and gotten two different prices (almost $3k apart!) on the same model. Is there an industry standard markup or anything like that? How much of a discount constitutes a good deal?
What's the best Hot Tub under $15k?
I'm planning to buy a Hot Tub and after shopping around a bit it seems like I won't be able to get what I'm looking for under $15k. I want a high performing, therapeutic hot tub that fits at least 5 people comfortably. A lounger would be preferred. I'd like wifi capability, but that seems to be available on most hot tubs. I'm having a hard time figuring out what is salesmanship and what is the truth on the handful of models I've looked at. Everyone tells me theirs is the best, but honestly the top models from the top brands seem to perform about the same. That being said, there's a pretty big price difference between a Hot Spring and Artesian that I think are pretty similar. Is there any truth to the claims that one brand is superior to another, or are they all made the same way? Thanks in advance for any help, it's possible I'm just experiencing a case of analysis paralysis.
What breaks first?
On a hot tub, what usually fails first? The heater? Pump? Jets? Control panel? Shell? Cover?
