Maybe you should learn how to read
I said "Maybe that's a stretch"
I personally don't give a crap what anyone here own's
Ronald quoted what his sales rep's line was.
I gave him some additional info.
I personally didn't like the HS tubs but who cares.
HS makes a great tub, so does Marquis.
HS has "no bypass filtration", Marquis filters it all too.
They have many differences but their is now way in hell that I would run either without any chems especially during moderate usage periods.
I don't think that Ronald is a sucker by any means.
He bought a great tub by a great mfg.
If he thinks that he will get away with ozone, silver ions and dishwasher friendly filters, then he will be sadly mistaken. If he liked the marquis fit better but bought the HS for filter reasons, that's a sucker line in my book.
By the way, I went 5 months through the winter with two hours filtering & ozone per day and 2 X 5 ml of dichor weekly. Shocked every three weeks. Never a chlorine smell when I got in.

I'm a strong subscriber of So I can read just fine. His(Rons) dealer described using minimal chems, not zero as you falsy described. At no time in Rons original post did he reference getting by with just ozone and silver ions. Who is the one who should learn how to read you MO MO!
Ron just joined this board looking for helpful input regarding his spa. I understand having a bias towards the brand you own or sell, but there should be a sence of kuth(spell) in your approach, in which I think you had none.

Water Filtration Made Simple by Terminator:
Is it better to filter every drop of water before it enters the pump, heater, plumbing, and re-enters the spa through the jets? Yes No Maybe (Circle One)
If you circle yes, you have a great deal of common sense and logic.
If you circle no, you sell a brand that does not filter all the water before it enters the pump, heater, and plumbing because your spa has by-pass valves which, of course, by-pass the filters.
If you circle maybe, refer to the very simple diagram in the second post of this topic.
See ya'll next week. I'm off to visit the Pool and Spa Show! :)

As it has been beaten to death. It is not a better way, it is just a different way.
I have referred to the swimming pool industry before. Pool filters are actually not even suction side, they are pressure side. Hair, skin, all those things go through the skimmer basket and through the pump, do not get hung up on the impellar, and then get caught in the filter. Clean water is then returned back to the pool. As long as the filters runs and the chemicals are right, the water will be fine. No big secret.
100% no by-pass filtration is just 1 story from 1 spa company that thought of a way to market their filtering system. Kudos to them. But it is cetainly not the only way to do it. Nor is it any more sanitary than any other way.

--- Quote ---We have ordered a Hot Springs Envoy ....The thing that seemed to do it for us was the 24 hour circulation pump, the five (325 sq.ft.) of filters that can go into the dishwasher, the silver cartridge that goes into one of the filters and the point of not putting in a large amount of chemicals. The Marquis was very nice (I loved the sound system which is too expensive in the Hot Springs unit), but its frog system and two filters without the 24 hour filtration did not seem to produce the same level of cleaning that we hope to see in the Hot Springs...........- Ron

The KEY word here is HOPE, you do realize that the circ pump only uses one of those filters and the others are for the "clean up cycles" provided by the other pumps.
You have made a good choice with the Envoy, and you would have made the same good choice with the Marquis, you were just swayed by the hopeful expectation that you have placed in what the "salesman said". Either way, you could not go wrong, HS just had a more convincing salesperson. Now if they could only offer price competitive sound systems. What is it that makes it soo expensive? I just can not see the cost being so high.
