If you have never had one of these, I would suggest getting one of the pool treatment firms to come out and check everything, bacteria levels, PH, chlorination level, hardness, etc. While we use T&D Pool and Spa, there are several others, and the maintenance is fairly straight forward, and I am considering starting to do this myself. Even though you mentioned that you drain the spa, there is still water in the pumps, filters, and some of the pipes, so you could still have bacteria after filling with fresh water, better to be safe than sorry.
And I agree with Golfing Eagles, these are addictive.
I would definitely have someone get this started for many reasons. Thank you for the advice.
