This may happen and this may not, how do you know? LOL...here we go again with the sales pitch for a tub that is well, almost as good as some but not as good as others. You need to add in your opinion to your statements because in my opinion it...

You can drill a hole and set it up yourself... but, IMO, I think a waterfall is useless... I ahve one on our tub and it is never on. I wouldnt go to great lengths to put one in, unles you HAVE to. All it would take are a couple of holes, hose, a valve etc.... --------------------

Update II New motor received and installed yesterday. WOW - I had no idea how quiet these things are SUPPOSED to be!!! I actually hear the movement of the water more than the motor itself, even on low circulation speed! I am a very happy AO Smith customer!

I live in Ontario Canada, Tub is a Arctic, only warm water comes out, its super cold here and the heater rarely comes on. With the cover on the heater never turns on.????

QUOTE (ttrublue @ Jan 4 2010, 07:54 PM) Use the end capped filters, Sentinel is the name. The none end capped filters have a habit of coming apart when in use, a real mess to clean up. Cheers Thanks for that, I'm going to return the non-capped filters. Interestingly they are just wrapped in clear plastic, with no brand name or manufacturer on them, so I think they must be just "no name" brands or...

That may be on the high side but I'd start there and see how it works unless you need to move it quickly and in that case you need to add the dreaded "OBO" or...

QUOTE (canucker @ Jan 4 2010, 11:15 AM) We had our new Arctic Summit installed on November 20th and we just did our first empty and re-fill on New Year's Day. The filter we took out was not the same as the filter we put in...even though we asked for the correct disposable one at the Arctic store, and bought 3 for $100. (supposedly to last 9 months total?). The one we took out was in a cartridge, or casing...top...

Just curious, as I found one jet unscrewed quite a bit... i screwed it back and am hoping no water leaked from it..... but I am now curious if the faces of the jets can be interchanged, etc. Thanks...
