I’ve been reading up on hot tubs and it appears I have a fairly rare situation. There is no controller or even a timer. All controller via breakers. Tub is built in to a sunroom so replacement is not an easy option. Not sure if it matters, but all spa equipment is located on the other side of...

Thanks roller coaster! Am I correct that the pump and heater are always on if you don't have a controller? I like the simplicity of this setup after reading about the cost and average lifespan of a controller. My tub is indoors in a sunroom added to the back of the house. The pump and...

My foreclosure house came with a pool and spa. Got the pool turned around from a murky brown to crystal clear the first year. 6 years later, I am thinking about the spa and have been doing some research. I'll post up some specs shortly, but for now, does anyone run them without a controller...

To answer my own question, I have been using the coat hanger to extract the debris(most likely sand). This works, but requires a few minutes of disassembly and has to be done about every 3 hours of runtime due to the amount of sand I have get past the Polaris wall filter. Note - what HAS been...

What's the best method for removing debris? In my case, sand. In my Polaris 380, AKA Jeeves. I have tried searching the archives, taking the unit completely apart, clearing the jets by pushing the debris into unit via a stiff piece of wire, and lastly, a shop vac on the hose just below the...

It does appear that there is a section missing, but this is just the picture. I was unable to locate a new gasket locally so I ordered one online. In order to run the pump until it comes in, I put a cap n the end of my waste line. When reassembling the multiport, I remove all the grit, lubed the...

Wagon wheel looks pretty good. Gasket, not so much. There is sand and grit imbedded in it. This has scratched the body of the multiport and the sides to the wagon wheel. Now to try and locate a new gasket...

I just watched a video on the gasket replacement. It looks very easy. Guess it is time to go pop the cover on this thing and see how it looks on the inside. From what I have seen of these, it doesn't seem possible to have the volume of water that is wasting just due to a bad spider gasket. Stay...

Help! Went to backwash today after finally getting the water crystal clear (except for a thick coat of pollen on top) and noticed that my water level was dropping rapidly. Checked the waste line and sure enough, it was flowing out. I tried several of the different settings, but still all going...

This is great! I've had my salt system (swim pure 15) a few months now and always wondered what all of these numbers meant. Mine does have one additional reading. After the software revision (r1.58) it has what looks like a capital E, but without the uppermost horizontal leg, followed by -15...
