Hi all…
I just noticed 2in scratch at the bottom of my hot tub… I guess little pebble or gravel got in
I can feel and see it … since my tub is dark and scratch is white.
should this be addressed with one of those acrylic scratch repair fillers or I just need to ignore it ?
thank you

Hi
What do you guys recommend to customers during winter pump failures ..
where I am it can get as low as -30C
tub with questionable temp I assume can drop pretty fast …
options, add **** load of anti freeze and mix
drain and try to winterize
drop heating element in tub ( how safely to not melt acrylic )
put 2 service lights in cabinet 100w bulbs ? ( does this actually work ? ) -if it does I might permanently add 2 lights and wire switch on outside of the cabinet, place on each corner ?
Has anyone retrofitted circulation pump ?
would that be hard ?
currently my tub has 2 x 2 Speed pumps and it uses speed one for circulation
thx guys !

Sorry RD I was talking about electric pergola made by Covana

Hi Guys,
I know that we have multiple amazing techs here!
Did any of you installed the Covana ?
I have picked up used one, got it up and running, but manual says to not adjust the limit switch for the lowering value !?
( factory set )I’m just worried that it will crush tub going to low ?
thanks

Hi Guys,
When ALK is to low ... I know we aim for 50, but even at 50 my pH goes up over 8 after one use.
Is 40 safe for Acrylic spa.
Thank you

Lowered to 7.6 and maybe there is actually more...
I wonder if this the calcium sterate. Issue with pipes.
I have some Seakler comming tomorrow will see if it helps.

Hi Guys,
This is fresh fill after purge with Ahh Some, Tub was flushed with pure water and filled.
I only used DryAcid and Dichlor no soak time yet.
pH 7.8-8
ALK 60-70
CH 90
Tested with Taylor Kit
Every time I turn jets on and stop them, my water looks like in pictures, 5 minutes later it looks crystal clear!
It really looks like kinda air bubbles are floating on surface and sticking together or dust....
I tried to capture this in clear glass but its instantly gone.
( previous fill was same? Bad Dichlor ? dry Acid ? )
Just feel like dumping water yet again, frustrating
I will pull microscope to this tomorrow
Thank you for suggestion

Thx, My Manual said at least 8 hours minimum
"Spas with adjustable filter cycles should be operated a minimum of 8 hours a day to remove suspended particles that may exist.( 4 hours per a 12 hour period)"
So lol, I figured 24 hrs will be better
Hopefully I didn't destroy anything in first week of owning spa lmao!

1 hour ago, CanadianSpaTech said:
Does the spa even have a small circulation pump that is supposed to run 24 hours? Or does it use the main 2 speed pump for filtration and heat? If it uses the main pump duration should be set at 2 hours per 12 hour period 2 times a day = 4 hours out of 24.
@canadianspatech
2 x 2 speed pumps it, uses low speed.
Really I had it running for 24hrs ... For a week
Is 4 hours really enough ?
Thank you

Tub was set to 100F
Circulation set to 24h
89.6 outside and sun beating on it ... I wonder if that's the problem.
Thx

Hi Guys,
Fresh fill... Store tested water and said to add 9 caps of Dazzle TH+ over 9 hours. 3x3Done that now water is cloudy.
Tested CA and Im at 105 ( ColorQ )
Strips show range of 100 as well.Level tested prior to adding the TH+ was 98, tested at the store.
I cant believe that 9 caps increased only by 7 points and the cloudiness
What is going on
Im color blind so I cant use Taylor kit
strip was read by a friend
Thx

Dude you need to msg me your paypal so i can send you some beers... You are like personal hot tub wizard
Will that high chlorine kill my tub lol ?
-
So the store told me to add ... 59 gms of chlorine to bring it back up... I did so about 3hrs ago... And strips and taylor test of the scale still 10ppm+
I think I will run Ahh Some tomorrow and dump it, and start fresh... Should I skip aqua finesses I guess ?

Hi Guys,
So I started tub 2 days ago (new) today I found bunch of white like paint splatters inside the tub.
They literally look like paint splutter or sticker left behind, when I try to rub them off they feel rubbery maybe even sticky.
Any suggestions.
Thx
-
yes I have AquaNova UV/Ozone.. there are two little vents for it... one is bubbling but other is continous stream, i think according to manual both should have bubbles
-
Hi Guys,
I just noticed that I get a lot bubbles from one jet but other has very little if any, when I touch it with a finger I can feel flow but no bubbles.
Air lock ?
Thank you

Sorry you mean run nail in the arrow direction ?
Nail catches going in either direction.
interesting way in finding cracks, how does that work ? Like a ramp effect for one side ? And catches for other
