Hey all,
I recently purchased a home that has a spa. I don’t have any interest in using it in the short term. I would say it is too early to decide if I want it long term or not, so I don’t want to get rid of it until I’m sure. But it’s fair to say at this point, the idea is to not use it but also not ruin its condition. If anything, the only time I could think of using it in the near future is in summer for a nice refreshing dip. I am aware of the idea of ph testing etc if I did want to use it. But if I know that I might not use it for the next 6-12 months (or maybe never) what is my best option for keeping holding costs at its lowest and also reducing maintenance effort given it may never have any benefit? Note it does have a cover. Is it best to simply empty it? Or utilise some very cheap ph testing?
I use my spa heaps more in winter. It's one of the best places to meet up and have a drink with a friend, or just to sit in and debrief with my wife, or go alone and put the phone in a zip lock bag and scroll ozbargain. (Mines outdoor, not sure if the dynamic would be the same with an indoor).
If you're not using it just empty it and keep the cover on.
