  1. Yup, just as I thought it's made of metal with a chrome coating. Would I be able to get a place to put a new chrome coating on it for cheap?
  2. I'll check when I get home but are you sure it's metal electroplated onto plastic? The only reason why I ask is because in the second picture you can see that there are little tabs that are bent inwards to "hug" the plastic body which leads me to believe that it's just some type of sheet metal that has a electroplated finish on it. I think this makes the most sense because correct me if I'm wrong but I don't believe a chrome finish by itself will rust.
  3. I honestly though you were crazy for replacing the switch with a new one where I though it just needed a new coat of Teflon tape so I decided to apply some and retread in the old switch and just when I was about all the way in the threads sheered from the switch. Luckily I had a screw out, screw extractor set so I was able to unthread the broken part out but lesson learned. Always buy a new switch.
  4. Hi, is there a replacment part for this JJ2R1631 jet faceplate? I'm specifically only looking for the chrome cover that goes on the jet, the jet itself is fine. If it's not avaliable then what can I do to fix the rust? I know the cause of the rust was due to too high of chlorine concentration
  5. I completely forgot about this post but I guess now is as good of a time as any to reply in case someone else wants to do this. I actually ended up stuffing it with the cheapest stone rockwool insulation that I could find at menards. Specifically this one. Out of the 7 or so pads that were in the package I ended up using around 5 and a half to fill both sides of the tub. I also ripped out all the rotted out wood and glued new parts of the frame in it's place. Hope that helps someone.
  6. Just replaced all the jets on my 2013 jetsetter and now I want to replace the insulation that I had to rip off. I still have the old foam but most of it is in smaller pieces so it would be a little difficult to reuse. I want to avoid using spray on foam (except for the bottom of the tub that I took a chunk out of) just in case if I ever have to go in again to make a repair. Would using fiberglass insulation be a good alternative to stuff in there? Any ideas?
  7. Also while I have this topic open any tips for getting stains out the inside of the cover? I'm guessing same procedure as mentioned above or slightly less harsh chemicals?
  8. Yup, you should never mix chemicals that you don't know what the resulting reaction will be. Sorry I probably worded that wrong. I ment if the muriatic acid didn't work I would try the bleach.
  9. Gotcha. I'll give tho a try in the morning. How long do I leave it it soak in the muriatic acid and bleach if I have to take that route?
  10. 2013 Jetsetter. I winterized the tub with RV antifreeze to keep it safe before I moved and now when I cleaned off the antifreeze that was mostly dried it has left a stain. Is there anyway to remove this stain? Soak in Vinegar? Bleach? Fiberglass stain remover?
  11. Is there a rebuild kit I can purchase for this heater? Edit: Found it. However the reviews mentioned that a small leak did persist after replacing them but I'm going to give it a try. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07CPHF49G/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 https://www.spadepot.com/gasket-Kit-4-Watkins-Hot-Spring-Double-Barrel-Heater-P3111
  12. Bump. Any idea on what the best method to clean this stuff out is?
  13. 2013 Jetsetter. Doing some maintenance on it by replacing tubing, ozonator, etc and noticed that there is a bunch of corrosion on the heater. Will this effect the performance any? Should I clean it off/leave it be? If I should remove it what's the best way?
  14. Thank you. I just found this cheaper one that says it fits the serial number of my tub https://backyardplus.com/parts/72727-byp-elbow-3-4in-x-3-4in-barbed-with-1-4in-barbed-nipple/ As luck may have it, I just recently got time to inspect the spa to figure out all the items and parts that I need to replace and while I was looking for a jumper wireto convert from 220v to 110v) in the bag of supplies the previous owner of the tub gave to me I found a brand new ozonator! I guess the previous owner know about it going out and purchased a new one but never got around to installing it. It looks brand new but I haven't tried out if it works or not. Could be a dud. Not getting my hopes up just yet 😁 I do have another question though. What exactly is this wire? It's in the suction side of the tub. The wire is cut at both ends. Maybe it was an led light? Zone 2 is missing on the board so that's the only thing I can think of.
  15. Gotcha. I was just trying to go aftermarket to save a little on cost but I guess there is no way around that. Do you know what the cheapest place to buy a Freshwater III system would be? Trying to find the best deal. Either way I have to replace it since the nozzle broke off when I was trying to remove the tube from it.
