Looks similar to my delivery truck and team! :)

Thanks everyone. This is my first spa but I have owned pools for over 30 years so am familiar with chlorine, pH, TA, etc. My pools were always crystal clear. I use the test strips and also a liquid kit just for pH and Cl. I have been testing every day and need to add Cl either every day or every other day depending on use.
I would be interested in additional hot tub maintenance if someone could send it to me or put up a link. Thanks!
I recently ordered additional dichlor, MPS shock, filter soak and another filter from SpaDepot.com. I hope it is quality stuff.

I'm assuming you are using the clearwater system from Hot Springs? Watch your dichlor use. For every 1 ounce you put in, you are adding 9ppm of CYA (cyanuric acid, also called "stabilizer"). You want to stay between 30 and 50 ppm CYA. After you've reached your target level of CYA, you can use just Clorox bleach.
Send me a private message with your email, and I'll send some info to you.
I was going to order some filters from the spadepot, but I couldn't find any reviews on their clarathon filters. I know they were the cheapest I could find, so I was hesitant. I ended up buying unicel filters. I bought TSP from amazon for my filter cleaner. I couldn't find it in WI, apparently it's banned in my state.

when adding di chlor it is 99% of the active ingredient , Clorox is around 6 percent of the active ingredient and the rest is "Mostly Water" . I personally don't want to soak in mostly water. As far as the CYA it is not a huge issue because we are supposed to drain our tubs every 4 months anyway.

I especially like the photo showing the electrical hook up. The only bad thing I can say about my new Sundance is the hook up point was cumbersome.
