Title: where do you purchase your products online
Post by: xrdirthead on December 06, 2004, 05:10:20 am
Hi,
My sister gave me her 11 year old 175 gallon hot tub. It's in great shape since it's always been inside her house.
I have been reading the forum for some tips.
Please leave me any advice you feel would help me out.

If you have a online retailer you've had good luck with please leave their link.

My two favorites are rhtubs.com and spadepot.com  The first has lower prices and the second has free shipping and each has a few products the other doesn't.

Both have filled several orders fast and accurately and I've never had to test their return policies.

RHTubs does include shipping - on orders over $60. That site is operated by the famed "Dr. Spa" of 'jetskiing under the Golden Gate Bridge' fame.

I think I'll be going over the 60 since I don't have any chemicals.
Now I need to figure out what to order.

I found this comparison:

It seemed some forum members were having good luck with the nature 2. My tub will be in the house and I'd like to keep the smell down.



Any chemical tips would be apprecitated.
Thanks,
Ed

Good to know, I rarely go over $60 on chemicals as I primarilly only use Dichlor and MPS.    I get my Dicholor from Lowes, their SPA-KEM  brand is dirt cheap and has been working great for me.  After a fill, I usually add a little baking soda and all is well.  When I do need a new cover, I will be heading to Doc's,  my friend just got his for his 4 year old Cal Spa from Doc.

Thanks.
I have a Lowes close by and "dirt cheap" sounds good to me.

For just the cost of shipping........... you can have some fine California dirt......... else I gotta pay to dum it.

Then it goes from land fill to prime real estate....... and they sell MY dirt that I paid THEM to dump, for top dollar.

Doc heard that land was at a premium in California and he started saving dirt in barrels in his backyard for retirement incase his spa rating site doesn't pan out.....

 ;D geez, I haven't touched that site in months..... ONE of there days, when there's no trade show to plan for, or other web sites to update / maintain, or my sauna's finished, or I beat this STUPID video game of my sons, or after I get the car washed, waxed and detailed, or the yard work is done, or or or...... gawd, I need a nap.
