Just curious..

There is no bypass on the Sundance filtration system. The filter pump always pulls through the filter.

I never run my Hot tub circulation over 5-6 hours except when beginning.
My Hot Tub stays Crystal clear. I do keep a nice cover on it when not in use.

no spa NEEDS 24hr circulation, just makes for a little less maintenance, also most 24hr circ. pumps are separate from your main jets pumps which allow a little less wear and tear on jet pumps, less vibration and noise especially if the spa is on a deck attached to the house....it also makes for a much more efficient heating system because the energy from circ pump is transferred into heat which means your spa will maintain temperature rather than constantly kick your heater on and off. Also nice if your using some type of silver ion system or because now you have water flow constantly over the silver "stick"...these are just my opinions/experiences in the last 13 years, there is always more than 1 way to skin a cat

My circulation pump is separate from the jet pumps. I think it would not be economical to run a 400-500 gallon Hot Tub 24 hours a day. A pool only requires that water be turned over once daily in most circumstances; I owned a 18000 gallon above ground pool for years. It took way more Maintenance than a Hot Tub especially A Jacuzzi machine like I own. ;)
Also, not only is my circulation pump designed to be energy efficient due to heat transfer but my Jet Motors are more energy efficient than the Circulation pump. It is a freaking machine.
Sometimes Individuals make it way to complicated with the maintenance of a Hot Tub.
My Jacuzzi J 465 is basically Maintenance free after initial water balancing. It basically self cleans. I use to deal with a "scum line" but HTH Enzyme Cleaner is the answer to that; works great.
Now Jacuzzi has a feature built in the J 1000 controller called "Summer Logic". If the water temp. is higher than 95 F and rises 2 degrees above the set temperature, it goes into "Summer Logic" that keeps the circulation pump off except for the 2 hours it automatically runs from 9 - 11 AM.
This can cause me issues in the summer time because my Hot Tub Temperature will stay above 95 for days. We like 101. We use our Hot Tub daily for 20 - 30 minutes.
Due to our Hot Climate in the Summer, It will stay above 95 for days. I cheat the system and get the set point at the current temp so my circulation pump will do its job. Summer logic can be a pain in the rear but the flip side is how well my Jacuzzi J 465 is insulated.
They say it is a safety issue; I guess heat for a extended period of time on the pump....
