Well it turned out to be a fuse, 12 Dollars later its fixed !! I hope that they all turn out this easy

You can order any size pump you need from spaguts.com. Cost is anywhere from around $200 to $250 depending on your specs. -Joel Thanks Joel ! I got a little curious and poked around with the pumps, I switched out the power from pump 2 to pump 1 and it works. so it looks like it is a fuse or circuit board........hope its the fuse ! I will pick up a pair on my way home tomorrow night and see how it goes...........thanks !

Anyone know were to get one of these replacement pumps ? its a hydramax 2 speed pump The D1 website doesnt really list them, dealer may have one but its around 450$ any thoughts ?? John

Well I got my 60 degree day on Sunday !! Water changed and balanced.........all set to go till Spring !

Hmm No kidding, I didnt notice he was from RHTubs and a Mod........Good to know ! I love my spa cap, must say its easy to keep the cover clean !!

You could try taking the inside insert out and flipping it over and see if it helps. Call who ever you purchased it from if it doesnt help and have them replace it.

I ordered mine on a Monday as well, it showed up on the following wednesday. The cover will be folded up in a box, so you will need to let it flatten out a bit before cutting. I just opened the tub and layed it in covered it back up for about 2 hours. After that I used a pair of scissors to cut it in, I left it a little over so I can trim it up better when its not so windy and cold. Hard to say how much its doing , It seems like there is less steam coming out of the tub but I dont have any numbers to really say how much better. Just seeing how when the cover is open there is no steam rising out....none at all when I was cutting it...it has to be working

My blanket arrived last night, seems like its going to do well. I ran the jets on high and it did not move at all ! Also got a Spa Cap from RHTubs too, it is like a Heavy duty tarp with an elastic cinch that goes around the whole tub. Certainly will keep the snow off the cover and not blow into the woods ! John

Very Nice....Nice View of the lake too ! If your a skier you going to love hitting the tub after a couple of hours on the lake !

I am about 10 feet from the tub, its on a deck so when its windy its not fun !

I usually watch the 15 day forcast on Accuweather.......and look for the warmest day ! Its looking like the 10th will be close to 60 in southern NH, might be your lucky day ! As long as its above 32 I will do it, Christmas week usually gives a warm day or just before New Years....at least in my area ! Sounds like your further north than me though !

Gotta agree with other posters about the 1/8 inch thick blanket. We bought one and it bunched up easily and started to tear within a few months. We now have a 1/4 inch thick one that we bought from rhtubs.com. No bunching up, no tearing. It cost more but the extra cost was definitely worth it! Sandi Oh man I was getting nervous from reading this thread ! Thanks Sandi ! I just ordered mine from RHTubs last night and I also got the spa cap. I hope it helps ! John

I do the tarp method as well, just throw it on when Im expecting snow and the clean up it Way easier and I dont have to drag the shovel across the cover and risk scratching it ! John

How did you make out with the Blanket from Home Depot ? I am thinking of getting one too....My D1 dealer quoted me $250 for one. So I passed on that but found one here for $59....http://www.rhtubs.com/store/float.htm I may go with it.. John

When you say fallen in, does it look like there is still water in the pool ? I live in New Hampshire and last season my wife called when I was at work telling me the same thing. "Hey the cover fell into the pool" I got this real sinking feeling and Kinda guessed at what happened I hope Im wrong here but I lost my liner last year, completely emptied the pool in February Really Sucked the big one ,and Im praying it doesnt happen this year ! John

Coming up on 2 Trouble free months with using Chlorine....... Thank's to Everyone here ! I started off using the Dichlor , just like ChemGeek suggested and shortly switched over to Bleach. Been adding bleach after exiting the tub every night and using the Renew once a week. I have been adding some Dichlor, but only once say within a 2 week period at night. Going on 2 months now with the cleanest tub I have ever had, its squeaky clean.....No smells and no irritations. I just hope switching my pool in the spring goes so well ! Thanks ChemGeek for all of you help ! John

Hi Richard Hey I am into week 3 with Chlorine and LOVING it, my Tub feels so clean Amazing ! I switched over the Bleach right around the beginning of the second week and all is well. Still havent purchased a test kit but am using the strips I originally purchased, should be getting the kit shortly...Been busy with the holiday stuff ! But anyway I have been testing my PH with the Drops every other day and it is staying pretty consistant. So my Question is....you always say to leave the tub uncovered when you add cholorine to help the gasses get out I am in the North East....Its wicked cold out and I would rather not leave it uncovered that long when Im not in it Will the Gases harm the cover, there always seems to be steam coming out of the seams so will that be enough ? Thanks all of your help ! John

Hi Richard Thank you for both of your detailed responses to my posts. I appreciate the time you took to answer my questions. I think my tub is on its way too being normal.... I now have to think about getting a decent test kit, if you have one you can recommed that would be great ! Thanks Again ! John

OK tested the water this morning it looks GREAT. Only thing that showed up was the Stablizer was low. So this is the CYA Right ? and this would be the shock/ renew ?? John

I would think your Local dealer will service you, warranty right ? they still get paid so I would go for it And they will get your business for chemicals and acessories....well you can tell them that ! I think they would have too if they are a dealer, ask D1 about it. Yes $2600 would make me do it ! I have a D1 Diplomat, only time I have had service was for a Bad control panel. It has been replaced about 3 times since owning it in 03. You might have to wait a little if they are busy but I would take the chance. Thats my $.02 !! John

This sounds good, you could probably get one at Home Depot or Hardware store. I have a prefilter on my well, mostly for sediment but I did get a good filter for it this time and some of them will reduce or remove metals. My well never had metal issues until just recently, I guess they can change over time. John

Yes I am, I have the test strips.....cant say I am a big fan of them but its getting me in the ballpark. I would like a get a real test kit , probably will look into that. Well this morning it looks great, just a slight waterline scum that wiped off easily. Everything on the strip was Within range so it looks good I am going to switch out my filters to a new / clean set and try it out tonight. Hopefully its all better !!! Must have had some funk in the lines from the Baquacil Oh anyone using the Natures 2 cartriges ??? How are they, worth it or not ? John

Totally Bizzare ! I added another dose of Chlorine and shock, covered it and went out for the day. Came back and the water was almost clear, just a scum line around the edges that I wiped off but other than that it looks 90% better....Go figure ! OK so I am replying to my own posts...but its making me feel better ! John

Update.....Tub is Cloudy Yellow and I have this Yellow stuff floating in the foam. Not looking too good ! John

I just went in and had my water tested from a fresh fill. I had the Ph down to almost normal level and had already added the metal remover before testing (last night). All was OK, Water balanced with the only exception was the my ph was slightly high..so had to add 1 ounce of Ph down. This is the first time for me using Chlorine, so I added what they told me 1 once of Chlorine and 2 1/2 ouces of shock. I ran the tub for 30 minutes with the cover opened and now its cloudy and had some yellow stuff in the foam. I dont think this is normal.....any ideas ?? John
