In order to maintain clean water, your spa will operate in circulation mode at least part of the day. Some spas will use the low speed on the primary pump running 2 – 8 hours a day. Other spas will use a much smaller, separate circulation pump running 8 – 24 hours a day. In most spasa separate circulation pump is nice to have, but not required. More often, if they are sold as an option, they are simply a way for a salesperson to jack the price up a bit.
