Or if the cover locks would that be good enough? My parents have had hot tubs in the past at 2 different houses, but both times they were on a deck without steps to the back yard. So the only way to get to it was through the house. My house does not have a fence and it would be on my back patio. This could make up my mind if I want to get one or now!

Viking Hot Tubs/Spa's? My husband and I bought ours in Sept of 2005 and have had to have a jet fixed because it leaked and then the keypad went out as well. Come to find out, the key pad that was in it wasn't even the right one!! That was all under the 1 year full warranty. Now it's leaking AGAIN from a different spot and they're saying I have to pay a $60 service fee for the guy to come out, then 45% of the repair bill for parts. I'm not happy at all and not sure what to do. This is the 3rd thing that's gone wrong in 2 1/2 years. This is our first hot tub, is this normal? It's not even a "bottom of the line" tub, not top notch, but we paid around $5k and its about a 4-6 person spa. Extra jets, waterfall, lights, etc. The spa is located inside our home so it's not exposed to weather. It hasn't been ran the full time we've had it. It was ran Sept through March the first year (2005-2006) then shut down for the summer and opened again from Oct-Nov 2006 and hasn't been ran since the beginning of 2007.
What does your hot tub/spa sit on? I just bought a slightly used hot tub. I'm now trying to figure out how to get it all set up. I do not have a patio or a deck to set it on. I would also rather not have to pour a concrete pad either. Any suggestions on something I could do myself with out it costing me a arm and a leg? Also, if you have an outside spa do you have it in a screen room or just out under the stars? Thanks for any advice.
Water bed heater to supplement inflatable hot tub inflatable spa heat? Just got one of those inflatable spa / inflatable hot tubs.

Hot tub/spa: the various nozzles and hydro-jets keep coming off during use, where can I learn how to repair? these? This is a PDC spa that is only 2 1/2 years old. I manage to "reconnect" the pieces only to have them flying about with the next use. When they are reconnected, not all of them have adequate output now. I can't afford $70/visit for a different 2 or 3 apart and flying about for the repair person. (No warranty because I bought the house with the hot tub in place.) Help, it's a $7000 hot tub that just doesn't work well. ScubaBob, I would have emailed you if you had provided a way to contact you through Yahoo answers. The company that installed the pool is in trouble with the state attorney general (not from me although I have no difficulty in understanding how and why this situation has happened.) The only other authorized repair place is very difficult to deal with since they did not install the pool and I don't think their repair person is that good. Any place to view these tools online?

Any experience with hot tub or spa maintenance? I wasn't too sure where to post this, but - A family member has offered to give us an 8'X8' spa with "duraban", which needs a minor electrical repair.

Any experiences with spa/hot tub ownership would be appreciated... I am not sure of the make and model, but I'll know by the end of the weekend.

We want to buy a hot tub/spa - possibly used. What should we be looking for? What questions should we ask?

Why is my hot tub/spa water cloudy and has an odor? I'm assuming it has to do with the chemicals, but the other day the water in my hot tub was cloudy and had an odor to it.

I would rather not drain the water and start all over if I don't have to.
Where do I drain my spa/hot tub water to? I need to drain my spa/hot tub for the first time ever, but I don't know where the drained water needs to go. The street seems best, but I can't see a sewer gutter grate anywhere (I'm sure it exists but not sure how far from our house). Grass is a no-no. Not sure about just using the bathtub (would it hurt the plumbing, all those chemicals?). Any ideas? Looking for responses from people who have done it before, not guesses please. I already called the store where I bought the tub and they said grass would be just fine, so that's apparently not a good source of info. =\

HAs anyone seen this on a hot tub spa? I have a 2005 Dynasty Spa. I recently moved it and wired it up today. After filling, it worked fine but blew a lot of dirt out of the lines. I emptied it and when I filled it back it and turned the power back on, the pump #2 is just turning on and off and can not get it to stay off. Pump #1 seems to work fine. Has anyone seen this behavior. This happens before priming.

How do you change a hot tub setting from a short pulse of the jet to a constant stream of bubbles? I have an American Spa hot tub probably from the 80's. It has two buttons on the top near the filter, a button for the light and for the jet. The jet button seems to only have one setting. If I press the button once it causes the jets to send out a short burst of bubbles for 5-10 seconds, then stops for 20 seconds, then another burst. On the electrical box down on the side of the tub there is a timer switch and nothing else. I don't see any way to adjust from short pulse to constant jet. Any advice?
