Looks like it's just chard at the terminal connection. I have removed the board and going to bring it into have the terminal replaced. I cant seem to get the connection off the board and dont want to mess around with it to much! Will post once job is complete.

OK,couple things that dont look good! The plug that goes into the outlet 110v was burnt! When i opened the sides i also noticed that the black connection to the board was also burnt! First it looks like i will need a new board? second what would cause this. It's plugged into a gfi!

Pumps tries to kick in but it wont!. Any ideas?

yes, yes and yes. Will try to get motor off housing to check impella. One bolt head is stripped??? Cant get vice grips in there either..

ok, Went away for a few day came back to a running pump motor but it's not pulling any water. Could it be the impella? any thing i should try prior to pulling the motor off the housing? (one bottom screw not even sure i can get off)

water is clear after two days. FC holding firm. Will drop the chlorine to normal 7-8. will get the PH up to 7.5 and we should be good.

Cheers, This is simple! Moved to this method early last summer and had the best results in 17 years! Should i keep the FC high until it's clear But i did do a mixture of Liquid and pucks for my weekends away and as a supplement during the week. I ran the auto feeder on 2 ! no other pool...

Ok, Not as bad as expected. After running the filter overnight with cover on! and getting the shock to 20 I pulled cover this AM! Looks good. no major debris not green only a tad cloudy. Will brush and continue to run 24hrs! My question is if it not green or no viable algae do i need to keep...

I changed over last summer and was Very happy. I do believe it filtered better. Using again this year but this will be the first year using at startup! Switched over from DE after startup last year!

Just started the filter, Had it all connected last week. Removed all drain plugs and the pump is circulating fine!!! TC=0 FC=0 PH7.2 TA 70 CYA 60 CH 280 Will get to the store Later today or Sat Am to get DE and Chlorine. Let the process begin :) Based on these numbers should i bring shock...

will do I also believe I can get the filter running prior to removing cover!

Ok, Based on the winter and what i have seen by pulling the cover back a tad I know what i face. A green tinted pool! My question to you is can i start to Add by liquid chlorine prior to getting the pump running and taking cover off? I can add and circulate with the sump pump putting the water...

after some work got the shaft to turn! hoping it's just bearings!

motor out, Pulled front part of wet end off can not spin the impeller? Dumb question, When i removed the thru bolts from the motor to the wet end i can not remove the rest of the wet end from motor. Should that slip off easy? Might bring the motor in to get checked...

draining the tub to take a look around...I know it seemed to loose water(jet) pressure when running over the last few weeks!!

hums when it tries to start? C The sound it was making was not good :) like bad barrings I took back cover off and tried to turn shaft with slotted screwdriver wit would NOT turn.... Wiggles back and forth! Could it be the wet side and not the motor?

Last week started to make a louder then normal noise when running today will not come on???

Ok, will be gone for 4 day's, I have been using 2-3ppm of Cl daily. If I were to add enough liquid CL to bring the CL up 12 ppm's in theory that should last the 4 days correct? Last weekend when i went away added a little extra but also had a couple pucks in the feeded.. I want to see if my new...

Picture of surface? What is the Avg cost of getting a refinish? This is a Rizzo poured concrete... No cracks

Thanks Scott, When you say a refinish of plaster, what do you mean? This is a concrete pool not a plaser pool. Can you spray gunite over the concrete? Sorry if that makes no sense!! :rant: :?

Have to start thinking about repainting the concreat pond! Is this a DIY project? when is the best time of year? I heard fall as the water table is most likly at it's lowest here in CT. Was also told I need to know what type of paint was used prior? Just looking for any information on this...

I believe that using Spa Purge it is recommended that you drain the tub and refill, If you are doing this 2x a month it could get expensive. I just did a drain and refill using bleach worked fine. Next time 3 month i might try spa purge or another similar product.

NP. After checking the voltage again today at the two terminals connected to the heater it does have voltage! Again, Thanks for your concern sounds like you have a good handle on the Spa stuff.. Will be sure to ping you if needed in the future Temp is up to target, Pump turned off (calibration...

POSSIBLE SOLUTION: I HEARD THAT THE PRESSURE SWITCH SOMETIMES NEEDS TO BE CALIBRATED!!! I TURNED DOWN TO PSI 1 AND IT STARTED WITH THE HEAT LIGHT COMING ON AT THE TOPSIDE... NOW WILL WAIT TO SEE IF IT HEATS! :party: :cheers: JOHN

Thanks john, It is 120V... When we checked the Voltage the unit was on and the Topside was on (trying to heat) The tub is 10 and I do not believe the topside was ever changed. i picked this up from friends(well?) spring 2009 The voltage was checked from the nutural to each post, Was told to...

There is voltage 120 going to the heater and making a circut thru the board! I do not think I have a manual temp control on the board. Does this point to the heater Element, Or is there still a possibility that the topside is Bad not telling the heater to heat to 100. Again no heater light...

i did change the pressure control switch, Nothing... Can I use a simple Light meter to check for power? should there always be power to the heater even if the Topside is bad? Waiting on my neighbor who is an electrician to come with an ohms meter! :grrrr:

Shop also told me it is a good possibility that the pressure switch is bad?

ok, The heater light on the topside control is not coming on and tub is not heating? Is the control panel bad? or should i start with the heating element, or something else? 10 year old Jacuzzi, Balboa topside panel
