Linda can you explain to us why the small circulation pump was important to you?

Quieter when you are in more of a soak mode and less wear and tear on the jet pumps. Also it seems cleaner to me, I used to have several fish tanks and would want the water moving for freshness and filtration.

I agree a circulation pump is a nice feature. Not so much for us for soaking there isn’t enough water movement to make much difference.

We like to set out bypass valves to the whirlpool setting and run pump 2 on low. Everyone gets the feeling of water passing over them but nothing hard, and it is quiet enough to talk easily.

A couple good reasons. I think a jet pump for 4 hours a day moves more water across a filter than most circ pumps do in 24 hours though.

Another good reason would be 24/7 O3 introduction.

Site prep is just about done and we got the delivery date finally - September 9th.  Wanted it before Labor Day but at least it is close now...

Hi, I'm looking myself for a hot tub in the SF Bay Area.  You mention some very detailed experiences with dealers.  Would you mind naming the one you had a good experience with?
