Approximately what is a "top-off" amount? Is an inch a week too much? My cover doesn't fit tightly - it can't - my spa is down in the deck so no place to attach cover straps. Thank you.
Answer
That sounds high to me. An uncovered hot tub wouldn't typically wouldn't loose much more then that.
Even if the cover does not seal, the evaporation should condense on the underside of the cover and redeposit in the tub.
I think the condensation must be clinging to the cover and dropping off outside the tub rim. Install a strip of adhesive backed weather stripping to the underside of the cover just inside the tub rim. The condensation will run to the strip and drop back into the tub.
Some people would not think this is important, but it will help you reduce your "cycles of concentration". The faster you cycle it up, the sooner you need to dump and refill.

Hot Tub...?
Q. How do you figure out how much a hot tub is worth? It was a couple hundred more than 6 grand when we bought it 3 years ago, good condition, and not really used very much at all. Estimant?
Answer
I answered in the other question...3500. What I look at when evaluating a tub is who made it...in your case Sundance (GREAT Company!)...what condition the Frame and Cabinet is in. If the pump seals are leaking. If there is corrosion around the heater...over all cleaness of the tub since if it is dirty the odds are the customer didn't pay much attention to water chemistry. I do quiz them on their knowledge of chemicals since that also will give me an idea of how long the heater (3-5 years) will last, pumps (5-7 years) etc.. The cover is replaceable at 400 bucks or so.
