1 year report on a Marquis Spirit Hot Tub AND the enclosure we put around it!

Never  heard the term so I doubt I have it.  I see no reference to it in my manual so I presume I don't have it.

Microsilk wasn't available until feb of this year

MarKee:
The Spirit is an awesome spa, glad you're enjoying it!  I especially like it with the MP160 pump upgrade.

aeajr:
Not sure what pump we have, but in order to have the pump and the heater able to both run at full power I needed 220/50 amp service.   If I had done a 220/30 amp then there was some reduction in power, but I don't remember what the compromise was.

After 1 full year I have to say we are delighted.  The tub is very comfortable and works as advertised.   Naturally you have to keep the chemistry balanced but other than that it has been trouble free.  We replace the Frog cartridges on schedule and have replaced the main filter 1 time a couple of months ago, just for good measure.

In October 2013, as the cold weather started to approach my wife asked if I could enclose it in some fashion to make it more comfortable to use throughout the winter.  Little did we know that this past winter would be the coldest in memory and have double the normal snow fall.   

We looked for ideas and settled on a Palram 8X8 greenhouse kit.  If you visit the link and read the reviews you will find mine there under A. Anderson.

Net Net, this worked great!

Yesterday we were in the middle of a snow storm but my wife was able to go out, into the hot tub enclosure and enjoy a nice soak.   Temp in the greenhouse was 22 when she went out but the hot tub warmed it to about 50 by time she got out and could dry herself in relative comfort.

Something to consider for those who have outside tubs in cold weather areas.
