... to change my water.
As usual I was having a foam problem (life just wouldn't be the same without it) after having a kid's sleep over on Mon night.
I was living with it but am taking advantage of this warm weather. My wife thinks it ridiculous that I need to change the water after a party but I figured what the heck. I doubt anyone else but us will be using the spa for a while.
I put through another chemical order through Doc and I picked up some anti foam and the Leisure Time enzyme so next time I'll be ready :D !
One word of caution to any newbie reading this, Murphy's Law hit and my 20 - 30 minute drain took over 1 hour. Somehow my 1 1/4" sump pump tube lost prime AFTER the tub was below the filter. This is the 3rd time I've changed the water this way and I didn't expect the suction to be lost.
Anyway it's about 6 PM and the water is 71F, at 4 to 5 F an hour I should be able to soak in about 5 to 6 hours!

I think its time you got a new tub. You dont need all these headaches. ;)

Ya know my wife really dislikes the tub!
She thinks it's a piece of crap because I lost 5 jets, "a $7,000 item isn't supposed to break"! I tried explaining to her that it's just the jets and that I may have gotten a bad set. AND their warrantied for three years as per my dealer ...
When I decided to change out the water today, she wasn't too happy that after a little heavier use I needed to drain and refill.
I can't wait to get this all down pat ... the rate I'm going it'll be another 5 or 6 years!

Vinny,
Happy New Year to you. Sorry to hear that your wife is
not enjoying her new Artesain Spa. Is there anything I
can help you out with?
I've been away from this site for awhile, e-mail me if I
can be of assistance. :-[

Happy New Year to you too!
A lot of regulars have stopped coming by recently, myself included, hopefully it was because you were busy selling spas!
She just doesn't like it, she claims not to have the time ... her down time is watching TV, mine is soaking in the tub. She goes into the tub once or twice a month, my youngest about once a week, my oldest never goes in and I'm in it about every other day.
As far as the jets breaking, well my dealer is taking care of me so I really don't have any complaints.
I was going to stop into your Robbinsville store and see if you're around but since you haven't been posting I thought maybe you sold the business and retired to Florida at a nice young age. ;D
