By-pass Filtration

--- Quote ---Anyhow,
So there is no benift to having the water filtered before it is propelled through the plumbing and out the jets?

I guess not, according to everyone on here that doesn't sell a spa that does filter all the water. :-[
Oh, well. To each his or her own.

This is a great (funny) thread ;D...I've never been hit by a high speed toenail as it's propelled through a jet, but it doesn't sound like fun. On the other hand, I don't cut my toenails in the tub. I've never been disgusted by 1000's of hairs floating by me as I soak. Shut off jets and water is crystal clear just as when I got in once the aeration clears (I guess the hairs could be stuck in the pumps? ;)). I would hope that a few hairs don't cause my pump to fail. Centrifugal pumps are capable of handling some solids as there are relatively large internal clearances (not that I would expect solids to be in my tub anyway). The only thing I'm worried about when soaking is safe water (i.e. bacteria free) and the sanitizer is what deals with that issue. My $.02

Steve:
So in our vast knowledge combined, what would be the relationship to pump longevity (and other spa componants such as heater, pump seals, etc.) when considering the 2 aspects in question?
Failure due to improper watercare ____ %
Failure due to industry std filtration ____ %
I'll start with my best guess based on experience...
Failure due to improper watercare 99 %
Failure due to industry std filtration 1 %
Which in turn makes my 5% comment earlier a very high guess to the importance of it.
I do like the marketing aspect of it. It's the same reason Beachcomber makes Protec, Hydropool makes self clean, Arctic makes perimeter lock and so on...
It's the same reason why I could go on about the advantages of self clean and the benefits of pressurized filtration in a sales presentation...It's the reason why I sold a boat load of Beachcomber's back in the day...
