    Artesian Spa - Temperature Dropping ?

    My wife got in the hot tub this evening and the temp was 93 degrees. We live in Canada and it’s cold enough to freeze. My daughter was in last night and I went to ask her and she said it was cold 101 °. I reset the breaker to see if maybe that would help. It’s now late here and I have...

    Hot Tub Cover Lifter - Which is best?

    My kids have been tossing this cover back pretty hard and the pole on the other side is significantly bent. I don’t think it’s a fixable thing. I need a new lifter - this one has worked well and I like that I don’t have to screw it into the hot tub or deck If I wanted one similar what is...

    Solar Blanket Colour - increase algae ?

    Typically I use a blue solar blanket. At the end of the season I ended up getting a clear blanket. CYA is 40 I keep chlorine levels steady (so I believe) I found the clear solar blanket I am getting some surface algae. Is this something to do with the clear blanket, or is this just...

    Couple closing questions.

    Yes I read that. My question is: Do you drain a sand filter? I don’t remember my dad doing this. If not their pool will be easy to close. If I need to drain it, I’m not sure where my dad diverted the water

    Couple closing questions.

    I open and close my own pool. My dad passed away this Spring and he did EVERYTHING for their pool. My mom has been a warrior trying to manage the pool herself now. I’ve talked her off the ledge a few times with algae breakouts. I live an hour away and want to close for her. I never...

    Jandy High Limit Fault - 3 years in a row

    The one sensor has a white residue on it. I just plugged in a fresh set and the heater fires up no problem. What’s this white stuff? If I brush it off do you suppose I can reuse these ones?

    Sta-Rite Filter / Bleeder leaking

    I can’t get this to stop dripping. The bleeder at the top seems like the o-ring is fine I am wondering if the female section may be stripped. I get about a drop / second coming out.
