Questions and Answers about your Beachcomber Hot Tub 7 - 4
If your diaphragm is in good shape, there
may be another problem. There is a clear
hose attached to this diaphragm that links
on to the back of the Management System
(the black metal box on top of the motor).
See that this clear tubing has not popped
off the pneumatic switch. If it has, it may
have become stretched; simply cut off a
half inch of the hose and replace it back
onto the switch nipple.
What is the best surface finish used in
making a hot tub?
Cast acrylic. For a lasting hot tub finish,
the material you use must have a
colorfast, non-porous, stain resistant and
high-gloss surface that resists chipping,
cracking and denting. Equally important, it
has to be easy to clean. The Acuralux
finish used by Beachcomber has out-
performed any other material for the past
decade.
Do I need a plumber to hook
up my hot tub?
No, a Beachcomber hot tub is a
completely integrated unit. You fill and
empty the hot tub with water from a
garden hose. The water is cleaned and
heated through its own internal systems.
What type of power do I need to run a
hot tub?
120 or 240 Volt hookup depending on the
model. Your amp rating will vary with your
hot tub. Refer to your local dealer.
How do I know a hot tub is structurally
strong enough to last for a lifetime?
Like the foundation and framing of a well-
built home, the structure of a hot tub is
impossible to see but vitally important.
There are three parts to every Beach-
comber Hot Tub’s structural strength.
First, overall support; the best material is
Glasloc 2000, a plastic binding of resin
and glass applied in layers to the
underside of the hot tub shell. Second is a
pressure-treated base to distribute hot
tub weight evenly. Third, and equally
important, is the I-beam support system
which supports the shell like the trusses in
the roof of your home. Beachcomber uses
this three-step support, and we guarantee
the structural integrity of our hot tubs for
life.
