Hot Spring vs Hot Spot
honeypot:
dasno.
I kind of like this dealer. He's told me a couple of things that I've read differing opinions on. For example, I live where the water is very hard and have a water softener for inside the home and hard water outside. He said to definitely fill the tub with the softened water; easier to add than to take away, or something like that. I've read just the opposite.
I guess I'm a very skeptical kind of gal... it's the world we live in, I suppose. :-X

While I would never add softened water to a swimming pool, if you have extremely hard water, adding soft water followed by adding calcium to your water should be fine.
You can have your tap water tested to get the level of your calcium hardness. If it is too high, you might add half soft and half hard. That might be a good way to keep your levels good right at the time you fill it.

I'm off to test soon. How about the wood frame vs the plastic(?) frame. I noticed that the Vanguard has the plastic, but none of the other Hot Spring lineup. Hopefully, I'll hear something back before I leave. Thanks. HP
Vanguard:
I don't think the frame is anything you need to worry about. I think you'll find all the frames with the top companies are structurally sound.

Hello All!
I am now the proud owner of a Tempo! I soaked in it and found it to be wonderful. I actually like the lounge in it better than in the Vista. I might have wished for the lighted fountain in the Vista, but that was about it. Otherwise, it is perfect.
The guy I hired to do the excavation for where my tubby is going will be here soon so I must run.
More later and many thanks to all of you. You really helped me.
