Getting the hot tub repaired turned out nicely. Since I had a good idea what was wrong I purchased a new thermal sensor in advance through Oregon Hot Tub and arranged a time for the repair to be done. They sent Dominic -- a pleasant fellow in his twenties -- who showed up exactly on time. In preparation I had opened up the access panels so he wouldn't have to waste time on the trivial stuff.
He knew his business and went right to work. Things went smoothly up to the point where the new thermal sensor gets fastened into place. This part has a 1" diameter thread that is supposed to attach to the corresponding thread near the bottom of the tub. There is a neat way of doing this that minimizes water leakage so the tub was not drained. When Dominic tried to get the new sensor to fit into the matching threads I could see he was having difficulty. "This doesn't want to go in," he said. I offered to give it a try and took off my shirt, since you have to be in shoulder deep to reach the fitting. But, try as I might, I couldn't get it started either. Dominic managed to get into position partially under the tub so he could reach the part from below. It turned out that the part, which was supposed to be permanently glued into place, had broken loose and was free to turn. Right then we both realized it had become a two-man job. Dominic held the part in place from under the tub while I got the threads started and wrenched it down snug from above. Teamwork! And problem solved.
First, the spa is supposed to come with a silver ion cartridge, but it was delivered without one. I didn’t find out about the need for the cartridge until I went thru the water-quality adventure I describe below.
When the spa came, the delivery people gave me a (very unprofessional-looking) list of instructions about taking care of water quality. BUT THEY WERE INCORRECT. I’m using Silk Balance, a product that costs $200 a bottle, and the instructions the delivery people gave me make it ineffective! If I hadn’t later found another flyer in the box of chemicals I received and saw that Silk Balance required a different procedure, I would have wasted the Silk Balance and most likely had gunky water.
Plus, you need to add a “shock” treatment to the spa each time the spa is used, but the delivery people’s instructions didn’t mention that and there wasn’t any shock chemical in the products I received.
As I tried to figure out what I was really supposed to do for water upkeep, each sales person I talked with had something different to say. I finally got in touch with Trena at the company’s service center, who let me know the right way to take care of the spa and sent out the silver cartridge and shock chemical. But by that time, the spa water wasn’t looking very good…I may have to drain it and start again…not happy about that.
I will say that the people at the service center were very helpful and did seem concerned about what happened to me, so hopefully they will fix the situation. But I still have to advise people to check with Trena or someone else at the service center before they get their spa, so they’ll know they have the right instructions and chemicals.
