Filtration in hot tubs

That's when I really like to have my water clean.  Before and after is nice, too.

Nothing like some good butt"cheese" to go with some good butt"crack"ers.   :D

I got through most of this thread but gave up.

Is this any different than a FF/Thermal pane debate in ANY way? Does one FF tub not call it FF because they may agree that HS has the best concept? Is that why no one else uses no bypass? Come on you guys. We all know better than what has been written for the most part!

Give me any tub in the world and I could create a cesspool or crystal clear water in any of them within 48 hours. Teach your customer proper watercare based on usage and it's basically simple to maintain regardless as long as it has the basic, industry standard filtration.

As stated many times, most of us have proprietary features that we market to the consumer. That's what it is...MARKETING and regardless of how defensive we all are about the product we sell or own,  deep down, we all know this.

We have a system that I feel is wonderful with Hydropool and has a definite marketing appeal to it. No different than Beachcomber's Protec design with the pump outside, HS no by-pass or Artcic's Perimeter heatlock. These aren't in place because it's the BEST way to do it...It's in place because nobody else does it and it sets them apart! Again, I'm typing things that most everyone here already knows regardless of what we type.

It comes down to how honest we want to be with ourselves and each other. If anyone truly believes theirs is far superior to anyone else’s system with regards to filtration, then I suggest that you have been misguided and chose to embrace it without applying any logic.  Sell the crap out of what you believe in, but keep it real when dealing with other professionals.

Help me understand ....  My Marquis tub performs two- two hour filter cycles/24 hours. My understanding is that they are no bypass filter cycles with ozone. doesn't really matter since the filtered water gets dumped back into the rest of the tub only achieving a dilution effect..bypass or not.  Additionally, aproximately 30 minutes after using the tub, it will automatically go into a no bypass filter cycle to remove all the goobers that have accumulated during the soak. This really makes excellent sense to me since, as you suggest Term, the greatest source of contamination is the soakers. so I feel that my water is clean when I go in and soon after I get out. I don't really see an advantage to filtering during soaking as you can't remove  the contamination without removing the source. Kind of like bailing the boat before you plug up the hole! Am I right or have I misunderstood this whole bypass stuff?  I have solved the toenail problem, keep your pH at about 4.... ;D

Bonibelle, I love you to death and I would not take time out of my busy schedule to explain this to anyone else but you. :)

Other spas (including your fine Marquis) filter the debris before you get in and after you get out.  What they do not do is filter the debris while you are in the spa.  The debris has an uninterrupted shot straight into your pump, heater, and plumbing and then blows out your jets onto your back and legs.  That is, the debris that doesn't end up residing in your spa's internals.

That's it, plain and simple and with love.
