  1. Hi, We are looking for a 4-person hot tub. I am looking for tubs that have easy access to the plumbing. I don't want to have to be chipping off foam to get to a leak. Any suggestions?
  2. I’m about to run out of the PDV salt I bought last year. Had a quick check on eBay prices for 25KG bag - PDV feeder grade £18.5; PDV food grade £21; Himalayan pure rock salt £22; Dead Sea pure salt £23. So I’m thinking of buying Himalayan or Dead Sea salt instead given the marginal cost and unlikely they contain caking agent. But are they koi safe? All the ‘extra minerals’… anyone tried them before? Thanks in advance
  3. Hello, I have just put the plumbing on my tank that has two return lines drilled into the top side of the glass, and then it has a cost-to-cost overflow box that has another drain box on the back that has the drain line hooked into it. Everything is working for the most part and is very quite. The issue that I am having right now, is there is a slow drip out of my return lines and my drain lines. The plumbing is set up with barb fittings going into the bulkheads where I made sure to use plumbers tape around the treads. I have put hose clamps around each of the barb fittings where I connect my tubing. Do I just need to tighten my hose clamps even more? ( they are already very tight ) or is there something that I am missing. Any help I would be thankful for, since I am not going to fill it with salt until this issue is figured out.
  4. I didn't think about this when I built my deck and gazebo, but after spending time in it, my area and city is windy on most days. NOTE : I do not want to install a fence or cedars - maybe in the future, but not now. I am looking for ways to cut back on the wind so I can enjoy my outdoor space in the gazebo Things I have tried : 1) blackout curtains - they just blow inwards with the wind 2) Rolled bamboo curtains - they might redirect the wind, but does not noticeable cut it down I was going to buy some bamboo fencing - thicker stuff, but I cannot seem to find it - must for a covid shortage. So I am looking for something for the Gazebo that others have tried and works. Thanks in advance!
  5. I have been lurking around for a couple days trying to gather info. What I have is a inground pool. It started as replacing pool coping which turned into also replacing waterline tile. Here are some of the questions 1. Can I build a mortar bed of type s mortar, then allow it to dry and come back and set coping with a thin set to the cured mortarbed. Also I need to level a few spots on the beam what should I use as a bonding agent. And can I use the mortar to build up beam a little. 2. The waterline tile was decent but when the old coping was coming up it cracked some tile. So now I decided to replace all waterline tile but there appears to be some kind of epoxy behind the tile, not thinset. Can I grind it down and apply thin set?? 3. I also lost a corner by the skimmer and was wondering what would be the best way to reform this corner. What should I use to fix it Sorry for the lengthy post, but as always a small project has taken a turn. Thanks
