  1. good news, plastic cover removed from back of pump, impellor given helping hand upon selection of pump, all works as advertised. no new pump....happy days
  2. confirmed not capacitor, oh well hands in pockets for new pump........
  3. Hi Just a quickie, but someone has mentioned that there is a condenser or capacitor on top of the pump that could cause my problem, anyone had any dealings with something like that? and if so how do i access it and change it? many thanks
  4. Thanks for the replies, not the answer I'd hoped lol, it does sound like the pump wants to turn but then nothing, is there an easy fix for it (apart from replacing it) is there something I can do myself (limited knowledge ) Thanks for the offer Brian VT but unfortunately I'm not near you, I live in Cyprus in the Mediterranean.
  5. Hi wonder if anyone can help me, I have a hotsprings jetsetter and I cannot get the pump that operates the jets to work. A bit of history if it helps, The tub was working fine and I moved house taking the tub with me, however there was nowhere for the tub so I stayed in the bdrive unused for 18 months, I have now moved again connected it all up and the jets don't work, the circulation pump works as there is the trail of small bubbles from the floor. I have tried to see if there is any air in the lines but still the pump doesn't work. I tried the bleed screw on the pump and the pipe unions on top and end of the pump. When I select the jets there is a click and a low hum as if the pump wants to go but nothing. I have put a hose down the filter pipe, and I forced water through the jets at the end where the pump is (some air bubbles did come back out the other jet when I did this if that means anything) Any help much appreciated. Thanks
  6. We always use the lights, one of my 'must Haves' when I purchased, I always try and ensure our soaks coincide with darkness. Also the worse the weather the better the soak for me, although crystal clear skies in the winter are good. Maybe it's just tubbing I love.....
  7. I would also like to add that James has been extremely helpful in sorting out my issue in a different post on this site, he's done alot of work behind the scenes for me, thanks James.
  8. Pros: I have wet tunes on my frontier, wouldn't be without it, we use it everytime we're in the tub, also use it when having bbq's, just open the lid and let the music blast, I did debate about aqua tremor, wet tested with it but it pushed me over budget so stuck with wet tunes.... great addition to a tub. Cons: None that I can see unless you think that staying in the tub that bit longer because you haven't finshed your well earned drink and there's some great tunes pumping out.....
  9. Tom, sorry about your news, although I live in the UK I have always felt that you were close by when I needed advice, no problem was too small for you to take interest, seeing your posts on this forum for Arctic was a contributing fact for me buying Arctic, it gave me assurance (not that it has been required) that if my dealer wouldn't act you would. sorry to see you go.
  10. Hi Guys, a quick update, ttrublue you was absolutely correct my Onzen was not working as soon as I used the tub chlorine levels dropped to zero again. Dealer called and he changed the plates 'again' I'm now on my 3rd set (tub a year old last week). I had fallen out of favour with my tub recently because of the problem which I thought had been fixed with the last plate change, now it's working properly it's like having a new tub again, great. I wonder how long I can expect this set to work? Tom I guess this is a known problem, when will 'Onzen - the next generation' be rolled out? and will it be standard practice to retro fit it to those who already have the first generation ones? edit: Just heard the news about Tom has Arctic got another 'ammbassador' on this forum who'll take on issues? Tom will be a hard act to follow what are Arctic thinking?
  11. Many thanks for the replies, I have since kick started the chlorine with 2 tablets and that seems to have done it, water cleared up nicely and after a dip in chlorine after a few days when the tablets had done their bit the tub seems to have kicked in again...... still no mist though (this is the 2nd onzen generator I'm on tub 1 yr in Oct) anyway I'll see what happens over the coming weeks. Oh and as for the salt problem....... I was reading the test strips wrong so thought I had none when I really had loads (told you I was new to this..... what a buffoon eh?) so I can honestly say we are doing fine for salt now ) Thanks again guys
  12. Is there a reason why my salt level keeps dropping? I have an Arctic Frontier with Onzen, Recently my water went cloudy after heavy usage, when I checked my levels everything was good except chlorine, when I monitored the tub I noticed that there was no 'Mist' being produced from the Onzen so upon checking the salt levels I found they were very low (I had already topped up the salt some few weeks previously). Is there a reason for this? I had read somewhere that salt remained in the water all the time unless removed with the water, and evaporation would only increase salt levels. Have I missed something? does the Onzen turn the salt into chlorine so uses it or is there another reason? The water was due a change anyway which I have now done but I am confused as to whether this is normal. I'm still pretty new to this.
  13. Hi, I'm pretty new to this as well but I have an Arctic Spa Frontier and when I had probs with the Onzen keeping up with chlorine levels after a high usage my dealer recommended that I pop in a couple of chlorine tablets (Into the filter inlet), which I did and it seemed to do the trick. Hopefully that helps.
  14. I am still a newbie here but I have seen in many of the replies above that salt levels should ideally be 2000+, however I have a Arctic frontier (8 months old and still learning). Original onzen system electrodes replaced as not working due to some sort of substance gunking them up (looked like insulation foam to me) any way the other day the chlorine level was low and there was a slimy feel to the inside of the tub and a pong from the water. I have turned the onzen up to max now and it seemed to be getting better very slowly, however heavy use over the week end has turned the water cloudy and smelly is there anyway to recover it? One of my main concerns is the salt levels, the piece of equipment given to me in my starter pack for measuring salt levels shoots up to 1000 straight away and that is the limit, i cannot monitor past this level with it. Is the item any use to me except to monitor low levels? And will (with the guidence of my dealer) moving the Onzen plug to the continually on socket sort out the chlorine levels? PH and alk are ok. am I doing something wrong, i use 2.5 kg of salt on new tub of water. How do you know if complete water change is required is this the sign?(water been in 2 1/2 months) any help gratefully received. I have a UK system which I believe doesn't have the advanced sub menus that the US version has.
