If that happened, it would be the end of the site...

Colored Spa...

Enjoy and post pics of the finish product...

Yeah, but skip the photographs of you in it.

I guess I have to pack some swimming shorts if I swing by your house next month

[Bentley]

Yep!

[yorkdude]

Very nice.

Very very nice looking spa and we all want to know when the party is to celebrate all the hard work we all did inspiring you to complete it.  I just want you to know I personally am exhausted

Looks awesome, hard work paying off.  Nice job.  I like what you did with the calming background music in the vid....good touch.

I started the morning off in 103° water with jets.  It is a very pleasing experience.  Now when you get out and it is 36° with 14 mph winds, you know you are not in Panama...

Nice work. Looks very nice. Maybe if it snows yet you can lay in the hot tub, then roll in the snow, then jump back in the hot tub.

Yeah Bent,

Those upper Midwest Swedes are nuts! Aye?

If the unit was ground level, so all I had to do was crawl out, roll and then roll back into the spa I would do it.  104° does not quite do it for me, I think maybe 109° would be the ticket in Winter.  Don't get me wrong, I like 104°, just like a taste more right now & it would be perfect!

As my dad used to say (who was 100% Swede): "You can always tell a Swede . . . but you can't tell him much."

WoW!! You really like it hot! I keep mine 101 to 102 in winter & 99 to 100 in the summer. Mine only goes up to 104. I like to sit in mine sometimes an hour or so.

Are water was green for a few days so I almost called you!  I think Fed Law says heater can olny go to 104°, that is our max.  When we 1st got it I could have taken 109°, but weather has warmed here in the last week.  I turned it down to 99° today cuz I thought Kristin said it was to hot.  I was ill informed in that decision and will probably be turning back to 104° when I get in it this evening!

102 here in the winter.   Will go to 100/101 for summer.  Wife would like hotter, I would like cooler.   And even 85 if the girls want to use it as a pool for them and their friends, I'll just leave it that way for a few weeks in July/August.

And if your water turned green, decide your chemicals, bromine, chlorine whatever you've got.  I can say that after 11 years of ownership I never figured it out (perfect balance) and always put too much chlorine in to get clear water.   your pumps will seize and have to be rebuilt.  I've done that three times now on two pumps.   

[MysticRhythms]

I keep mine at 104 - 104 in the winter, 101 or so in the summer.
I also have trouble keeping by chemicals balanced.
Right now my PH is a little low, total alkalinity is high, chlorine low.
I add PH up and then it's too high.
Can't seem to get it dialed in.
But I use it every morning and every evening. Can't imagine not having it.
