    Leak around face of skimmer - what do I use to repair it?

    After following the recommended instructions :) to determine where I might have a leak in my 1200 gallon in-ground spa-ool, I have been able to figure out that it looks like the (slow) leak is where the plastic "faceplate" of the skimmer meets the Pebbletec plaster. I say this because the water...

    Pump is becoming louder during operation - new motor?

    I have a Pentair WF-28 WhisperFlo Pump that is about 3 1/2 years old. My "spa-pool" is an in-ground spa of approximately 1200 gallons. Lately the pump, housed in a pool shed about 50 feet from the "spa-ool", seems to be much louder than previous, and even the waterfall doesn't drown out the...

    Too much bromide salt in 1200 gallon in-ground spa?

    When my 1200 gallon in-ground (uncovered) spa (which looks more like a small pool with jets) was installed, my pool contractor installed a Genesis bromine generator. Unfortunately the Genesis is only capable of managing around 500 gallons of water, and has been something of a failure on the...

    Suds from store brand bleach?

    This might be a silly question but I'm going to ask anyway as I'm somewhat puzzled. It seems that not long after I add my every-other-day 2 cups of "regular" Kroger brand bleach as oxidiser for my bromine, or after I shock with my 4 cups of once-a-week "regular" Kroger brand bleach, I have...

    Do I need to drain/refill an in-ground bromine spa-ool?

    I have a custom built in-ground 1200 gallon bromine spa, which really looks more like a small plunge pool (photo below). It is freeform shape approximately 7 ft x 10 ft and 3.5 ft deep and has a Pebbletec plaster finish and a waterfall. Equipment specs are as follows: 8 returns (7 jets/1...

    Quantity of bromide salt required

    I have an in-ground freeform 1200 gallon hot tub with a Pebbletec finish which really looks more like a small plunge pool. Upon instal a year ago, the pool builder included a Genesis Bromine Generator which, unfortunately, has not been able to produce enough bromine to keep the tub sanitized...
