    Added bromine spa water to chlorine pool, help!

    The spa is roughly 350 gallons and the pool is 13,500 gallons. My husband said he added a floater with bromine pucks in about 2 weeks ago and it was empty last night. He’s slacked a bit on the spa since we were working on re-opening the pool. He said he just did a quit dip strip test a few day’s...

    Added bromine spa water to chlorine pool, help!

    So my husband had the genius idea to empty our warm spa water into our pool last night. The spa is bromine, the pool is chlorine. I didn’t realize the mistake until the middle of the night. The spa water was pretty well balanced but probably needed some non chlorine shock added at the time. I...

    Possible air lock or pump issue?

    We have a 2007 Providence 2 hot tub. A few weeks ago we noticed a small and slow water leak coming from the main pump and the pipe fitting next to it. We replaced the o-ring that had failed and replaced the main pump since we had a spare that had been rebuilt on hand. We refilled the tub...

    Intex SWG red service light

    So I was doing some more research and found an older post with the same issue. Member scotxxx had posted a fix he had used to get his back up and going and since we have 2 pumps we decided to give it a shot. I added a small quote from his reply below. “Basically I took off the 2 wires going to...

    Intex SWG red service light

    We purchased the 2650gph Krystal clear SWG unit last June and used it until we closed our pool in September. Everything worked just fine those months. A couple weeks ago we began opening up our pool and turned on the SWG only to get the red service light and the pump shutting off after about 2...

    Getting mild shock from hot tub

    So I called a different electrician out the next day just to check everything out. Come to find out we are NOT hooked up to GFCI and the tub was not grounded. I'm so upset I could cry. I had my kids in there and if something would have happened I would be devastated. We had absolutely no idea...

    Getting mild shock from hot tub

    We have had our 2007 DE providence 2 hooked up and running for a week now. My husband and I decided to get in for a little bit after work today to relax and everything was fine. A little later this evening I decided to go out and test the water, stuck my hand in and felt a shock. I thought maybe...

    New spa, COMPLETLY lost on water chemistry

    We did use ahh-some, although we didn't see much gunk at all after cleaning with it. The previous owner said he had cleaned it prior to us having it delivered but we wanted to be sure so we did a second cleaning ourselves. He also gave us 2 filters, one used and one new. Yesterday I decided to...

    New spa, COMPLETLY lost on water chemistry

    My husband and I purchased a used 2007 DE providence 2 (370 gal) that was in excellent shape. Before getting the hot tub up and going we spent hours looking up cleaning procedures and how to add chemicals. I felt like we had a good understanding of how to get our water balanced just right but...
