MaRiSpaTech Posted November 3, 2012 Report Share Posted November 3, 2012 Hi Folks, I wanted to share this method that I came up with for servicing spa equipment or plumbing without draining the tub. I believe my fellow spa techs will find this very usefull. This is not a product I'm selling, its just an idea that you can use to make your own setup. Please let me know what you think.

MaRiSpaTech Posted November 6, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 6, 2012 Another thing I realized and forgot to mention is that the discharge line should be above the water. Otherwise, when the pump is off water can be siphoned from above to below the tarp. The next return pipe setup I make (pump discharge thing that hangs on the side of spa) will use a "T" fitting on the inside bend rather then a 90. That way it will not be able to create a siphon even if the downpipe is under water. Also, I used 1.5" thread to barb unions to connect the hoses to the pump. This makes breaking down the setup very easy without dealing with pipe clamps every time you connect the hoses. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PrecisionPoolJay Posted December 23, 2012 Report Share Posted December 23, 2012 Somebody was thinking! When using a spare pool pump that probably take no time at all to drain/dill! I am sure the customer likes the fact that you are not wasting their water as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
