Welcome residents of The Traditions

I hope we can use this blog to create greater communication between the residents. Everyone will be given a voice and be able to blog about their wishes and concerns. Feel free to post anything you wish, including items you may want to sell, crime in the neighborhood, or even ideas to improve the association (times may be tough right now, but we still should be moving forward). To participate, just make your request under the "Author" post.

The Hot Tub Emergency Shutoff

Among the things our neighborhood's pool committee does is check the pool area each evening to ensure umbrellas are tied down and the hot tub is operating normally.  Why do we check the hot tub?  Well, when residents use the tub the bubble feature is often turned on.  Turning the bubbles off is a simple matter of rotating the timer back to zero...but all too often otherwise well meaning users use the emergency shutoff (the big red button).

That is not a good thing to do.  The emergency shutoff is for emergencies only.  It shuts off the pump, heater, and everything else associated with the tub.  Water circulation stops.  Sanitizing stops.  Everything stops.  Except bacteria growth.  So the tub turns green and is unavailable the next day.  This occurs fairly often.

So, if you find yourself ready to go home after a good hot soak and don't want to leave the bubbles on, just twist the timer knob counterclockwise back to zero.  That will lead to the desired outcome and the tub can continue to run as it should.
