How would I prevent mold with the hot tub. Even with the lanai open with just the screening would that still allow mold to grow? Yes, it will have a cover that I will keep on it when not in use. Also, I guess I can turn it off (or down) when not in use?

I'd be interested in an answer to this as well inasmuch as I plan on putting one on my lanai shortly. I can only guess, but I would think with a screened in lanai and ceiling fans, that the humidity would not increase all that much since the atmosphere is quite humid here anyway. After all, how often does the wind blow rain into the lanai which dries up and doesn't create a mold problem? Plus, the spa water is brominated so this might cut down on potential mold as well
