Hi,
The hot tubs are made by Infinity Tubs based out of Johnsonville TN. They have good elecronics, pumps and mid level jets. They could use some more insulation if you are in a cold climate. They stand behind their warranty. (I work on many). All tubs will break down in time. They are entry level priced and that makes up for everything I do not like. Overall I like thier product. It does make my blood boil though that if there is a problem with anything at costco that the product in this case a hot tub isn't fixed when returned and is in fact "Chipped up to little pieces" when they could have been donated to a nice local charity to place them with the handicap. (Everything is fixable, especially new) Buy the tub and be happy...if your into hot water with bubbles. If you need it for true therapy then perhaps you should spend double that and get a Sundance, Master spa or Hot springs.

hot tub maintenance and cleaning?

I have a hot tub in the master bathroom that I fill up when I want to use, then drain it. It's part of the shower. I simply clean it like a normal tub, but is it there any special maintenance I have to do? Any cleaning agent I have to put in the water and run it or something like that to clean the piping of the tub? As this is not a regular tub, there is no filter cartridge or chemical balancing that needs to be done.
I really did not need a copy/paste. I said this is a bathtub with jets. No need for filter cartridge or pH and chemical adjustments, as it gets filled/emptied as needed. I was just wondering if I have to run clean water or other chemicals once in a while to clean the pipes or if that is not necessary.



Answer
Daily maintenance of the hot tub is quite important to keep the water safe for the family. In water you have to keep close watch on the Ph and Chlorine levels. If the level of these 2 is in balance then the water in the hot tub is safe for use. For sanitizing & cleaning the water in the tub, chlorine is most important agent. There is another alternate to chlorine that can be used which is known as Bromine & can be added as granules, tablets or nuggets. Many of the new hot tubs have bromine dispensers which dispense the correct amount of bromine in tubâs water for 2 months. This facility helps in cutting down a lot of maintenance troubles which you need to do on regular basis.

Some other chemicals that are added once every week to clean the water such as one cleaning agent called scum out, another one to clear the water called spa bright and another one to remove foam from the water and comes as a spray.

Another important thing to do is to keep the filter clean and on an average you should clean it once every month. You can keep the water safe, clean and clear by keeping the hot tubâs filter clean. There is a cleansing agent also available for quick rinsing of the filter which can keep the filter looking brand new for about a year. It will also be advisable to replace the filter on a yearly basis.
