By-pass Filtration

Easy now - if your tub ran no-bypass whenever the jets were turned on, it might be able to stay clean and safe with less (power consuming) circ pumps like HS...

You talking to me?
If so, I wouldn't even venture a guesstimate.
We (East Texas Spa) have stayed with one product for 21 years now. We have had great success with that product. We have had very few failure rates with our jet pumps. If others are having as great a success as us, that's wonderful and bodes well for our industry. If others are having less success with their spas, I am sorry for them and their customers.
That's about it. :)

Hate to break it to you Term but there are some parts of the country where Hotsprings doesn't have the market share.
Thats good because if you guys got all of it, you'd be on here by yourself. ;)

--- Quote ---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...

Does this mean that HS owners are a lot better at water maint.? This post says 99% of failure is because of improper water care and HS dealers say they have very low pump failure :)

I took it ashe was saying improper water care and filtration make up 100% of the pump failures. :-/
