Softub basic info I’m sharing based on what I learned restoring a used one I purchased
Hi. So I promised some folks I would post the Softub basics that I learned through my own used tub journey, and the accessories I have found success with. It’s so hard to find all the info needed in one place, so I’m trying to help provide as best as I can. Accessory links are in the comments. Please feel free to comment with missing tips and anything else you might have found to be helpful or better. Thanks to everyone on the Softub owners facebook page who were so kind in sharing their experience and knowledge. 🙏.
