[Electronics-Talk] New hot tub owner looking for advice

[amandainparadise777 at gmail.com]

I am reading and responding to this rather late, as I haven't had much time for email lists lately.

One idea is to see if there is a UV device that can be used in a hot tub for keeping it free of bacteria.  They have them for swimming pools, so it might be possible to find one for a hot tub.  Also, this would diminish the necessary chemicals.  Perhaps not all, but I'm in favor of lesser chemicals.

Brett,
I too am totally blind. My wife and I purchased a hot tub about four years ago. I am not aware of accessible testing equipment, though  there might be some.  There are some differences in the appropriate chemical regimens from manufacturer to manufacturer so you probably want to know your manufacture and what is expected for that tub.
When we purchased ours or before we did so, we talked to a blind guy who had one, and he basically had his kids do the testing. They were of an age where that was appropriate. We have a person who assists us with a variety of reading and organizing tasks do so and the test strips are pretty easy.
The chemical management is very doable. Once you know the levels that are required. Like Tom said before me, we do have a pool and spa management company come out quarterly and test and drain and clean. That may not be necessary for all of them and is a feature not everybody would want to do but it works well for us.
