What can you do when your cover hinge is sagging and allowing water to pool

Sometimes I think some of the manufacturers and installers are moron's. A little harsh perhap but for example on my tub the entire side has to come off to open the spa pack. To me that is just poor design. As for communicaton between the seller and buyer, yes there is until you sign on the dotted line. After that It can be an on going struggle! So if you are unhappy about this , I would attempt to resolve the issue now vs later!

Every time I change the water on my tub I notice that the jet gaskets create lots of white flakes or flaking . What can be done to slow this down, Was there any issue with gasket material? I have a 2007 Coast Spa tub. I don't believe that it is leaking at this stage, however if it keeps up ? Any ideas would be appreciated

One US vendor that I went to emailed me back right away with information on the filters that I wanted to purchase. When I went to buy they wanted to add $12.00 charge to my credit card as I had a Canadian billing address on my credit card.This was eeven though I was having them shipped to a relative in the US. When I sent an email asking then to share their beliefs about this practisse there was not response. So beware Canadians!!!

All this stuff is essentially true, if they deiver then pst is not to charged on the retail selling price! However there are some smart vendors out there. When they negotiate the deal on a piece of scratch paper, they treat the entire process like a regular sale adding gst and Pst. Then when they create the bill of sale there is no reference to the pst whatsoever. Hence there is nohing to fall back on . The bill of sale might say all taxes included but won't specify a pst component. My interpretatioin is that the PST is paid on the vendors cost by the vendor if the tub is delivered and becomes a chatel One might sugget that if the sale is done as I have iindicated above that the vendor could be pocketing the (selling price - vendor price) X PST Other vendors will tell you right up front that there is no pst and will charge you none HOpe this helps! Took me for a loop when I bought my tub!!!!!!!!!!!

My cover collects water between the two halves. In the hinge. What stops the hinge from going soft and then holding water like mine, Part of the reason for this may be that the lifter was installed by the dealer incorrectly stressing the cover each time it was opened. The bar was installed on the wrong side of the hinge! The existing cover is less then 2 years old Canadian winters also take their toll on it

Why i believe that the stain is caused by the chemicals. When you add them do you leave the cover off for a time? My cover is well stained! Not sure the best way to reduce this staining but good post

I was really taken for a loop on this one! The previous response is about the case. If the item is delivered and it is a hard tub then it is considered real property. Here is a link to read up on. My experience was that one company was not going to charge me PST. When I finally bought from another company, the process went like this. The final price of the tub was given to me, On a separate pieice of paper both RST(PST) and GST were calculated and added in based on the selling price. These figures where then transferred to the final sales invoice and with the invoice reading as no PST payable and or all taxes included. The main point here is that RST must not be charged or shown on the invoice to the customer. Using this methodology the requirements have been met by the dealer. I believe that the Pst is payable by the dealer on their cost of the tub and on any other materials which become part of the real property. If you want to get technical one might argue that you are being overcharged PSt on the dealer markup. However if the invoice is written up as above, which they all probably are, then you don't have a leg to stand on.

I have a Gecko SC_MP-P122-P212_B2-01-AU11 controller with two pumps, one being dual speed, the other single speed and a blower When I set the tub for 99 deg f the temperature creeps up to 102 and then back down to 99. I turned the filter cycle to 0 and the temperature regulation was perfect. The temp seems to increase above setpoint when the motors are running. Can I assume that during filtration pump one is running on low speed? I talked to Gecko and if I received the straight bill of goods they are telling me that the heater should only go on when the unit is calling for heat. One suggesting was that the water is heating from Kinectic energy from the pump(s) There is also the HC LC mode setting , which if my unit is in HC, then I would still like to think that the Heater only comes on when it called for heat. My tub has an access door where the motors are , however to open the Gecko spa pack I need to remove the entire side of the tub. Not sure what the designer whas thinking when he/she designed this one? Otherwise I would put a meter on the heater and see what is going on with the pumps on . In advance thanks for any suggestions
