3 days at over 25 ppm for chlorine and still dirty green water...been running pump 24/hrs in those 3 days..any suggestions?

Thank you for the response. I have a test kit that I use, Not the test strips. I have the trouble free pool test kit. I've been trying to keep it over 10 ppm for shocking so I should up it to 25ppm? As for shock, I just recently switched to the bags of shock because they were out of liquid chlorine. So I'll have to switch back. So I'm better off using the liquid chlorine and not use the tabs at all? Thanks again. They recommended the scale inhibitor because I filled up some of the pool with my well water. They said to next time to use a sock over the hose and it will filter out some of the metals found in it. You said you think its algea. But with the water test, it came up with no black/green/mustard algea. Thanks

Having problems getting my pool blue. A month ago it was blue but really foggy. I went on vacation and it rained alot. When I got back it was green. Been shocking the hell out of it and it won't change from nasty green. I bought a new filter and pump. Catridge filter and 1.5hp pump. My water test is Cya 131 total chlorine 7.5 free chllorine 7.5 Total alkalinity 99 total hardness 290 I was told to add 15lbs of alkalinity ^ and 1.5 qts of scale inhibitor and to not shock for 5 days. I've been running my pump for 24 hrs a day for 3 days now since adding new chemicals and is still dark green Any help or suggestions?

There is power going to the green wire but not to the white wire on the pump. I don't know how to test the heater because they don't have regular terminals like the jet pump. There is a light that turns on when I hit the jets button. Its "d17" on the circuit board. Someone said to try a new circuit breaker and did that. $105.00 later and that didn't work either. Any ideas?

Would you check on the left side of the board where all the power comes in or where the black/white/green wires from the pump, connect to the board??

I have a 2004 Hot Springs Vangauard Spa. Just after winter my jets stopped working completely. About a month before this, the jets would trip the breaker after being turned on every now and then until they eventually stopped working. A week later the heater stopped working. I recently bought a whole new jet pump. The previous one was leaking at the seal too. Hooked it all up and no jets still. I've already did the new circuit board last year. What else can I check? The circulating pump is the only thing in there that seems to be working. Thanks

Now the jets aren't working either. Could heat and jets be related at all?

Ok opened up everything. Heater light is on and the "LIM OK" light is on also.. Been 3 -4 days now and the water is still luke warm and its been getting in the teens at night temperature wise...So it seems like its still getting some heat. Also, tub is a 2004 model

Ok, will have to do this after work...How much is a new heater if thats the problem?

I went out the day after using the spa the night before and the heat ready light wasn't on. Tried resetting the breaker to see if it would help and nothing. Is there anyway to test the heater? Or could it be something else? I put a new circuit board in over the summer.

It actually trips the breaker and everything shuts off and i have to reset the breaker. I turned on the breaker and let it sit for 15-20 min. now its working again. Weird!

Yesterday I went out and my spa was low on water with all the cold weather we've had. SO I filled it up and today went turned on the jets and it trips the breaker after about 10 seconds. Reset it and tried it again and same thing. Temperature light is on showing the water is at the right temp but turn the jets on and it trips again. Any ideas? Thanks

the piece that broke is a piece of black plastic with 4 knobs under the handle. It looks like I have to order a piece thats under the cover thats held on with the 2 screws. Any ideas?

I'm not trying to save on such a cheap item. I had to buy a whole new heater relay board and the local price was ridiculous compared to the online one. I think I might need some other pieces now that I looked all the diagrams online.

Looking at some diagrams online it looks like i might need more than just the knob.. I took a picture but need somewhere to host it to show it on here it looks like.
