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...

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...

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...

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...

I’m in Canada and opened the pool yesterday. Heater was installed in 2010. Jandy LXi The last three years when I’ve opened the pool I’ve had to replace the limit sensors. Can anyone suggest any reason why?

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.

Our Hot Tub was delivered at the same time we were getting a new roof. As a result some of the granuals from the shingles made their way into the hot tub. Its below freezing here now so I can’t drain the hot tub. what’s the best way to clean the debris from the bottom of the hot tub?

Opened the pool today. Went to fire up the heater and had a fault. found the limit sensor to be heavily corroded I ordered a new harness of Amazon.ca I am 90% sure where the harness plugs in on the heater. Can someone confirm this is the right spot? And do I have to run the cable behind all...

My kids have this giant inflatable pool float that’s spring a leak. I have found the leak and it’s located on a seam. Specifically there appears to be a ‘weld’ where the inflation spout was attached. I hope that makes sense It was a gift for my daughters birthday last summer and the kids...

I have a Cartridge Filter Opened the pool last week Vacuumed the pool last week upon opening. Water is balanced. Cleaned the cartridges last night This morning had to vacuum the rest of the sediment etc off the bottom of the pool. Noticed the return jets were blasting out dirty...

My wife and I want a hot tub. She's maybe a 5/10 and I am a 10/10 on the desire to have a hot tub scale :D . Today I managed to get her into the Jacuzzi store on our way home from the gym. We narrowed down the Jacuzzi tubs to the J-385 and the J-470 in terms of tubs she would possibly be...

Installed in summer of 2010 Been working fine ever since. Turn it on this morning and got "fault ign control" Removed the pool cartridges from the filter and cleaned them (out of habit- always fixed the no flow issue) Heater fired up. Later I went back to the equipment and the heater...

We built out pool in the summer of 2010. We had two lights (non-LED) installed in the pool. Over the last few years we haven't really used the lights because our kids were so young and typically when it got dark we were putting kids to bed and cleaning up. Night swimming never really...

Does anyone have a good source in Canada for replacement filters? I need both the large and small one, the current set are at the end of their life.

Commercial Pool and Spa Testing Products from Taylor Technologies What's the most economical way for me to watch the TF-100 kit? I can order to Port Huron, MI but I figure by the time I factor in the exchange rate, gas, mileage and all that jazz I might as well and ship to my house. I like my...

I have two children, 4 years old and 1.5. We stayed at a rental home this month in FLA and the pool had a mesh safety fence. Both my wife and I realize we need something like this for peace of mind. I currently have a winter safety cover so I am not against drilling into the concrete pool...

I am not sure which forum I should be putting this in. I have a winter safety cover and a couple of the concrete anchors have pulled out of the ground. What's the best way to secure these anchors back in the ground?

I went to shut off my pump, etc for the day. Prior to turned it off I checked on the heater display to see what the current water temp is. It said "NO FLOW" I looked at the filter and the pressure gauge showed that the filter pressure was also down at 2ish. Normally its around 10. Jandy LXi...

I need to pick up a Shop Vac for this fall when I close my pool. What's the minimum HP I should get when purchasing one? Home Depot has one for $10 that is 2.5 Hp Rigid.

The last 2 seasons my pool builder came and opened my pool for me. I feel like a dead beat not doing it myself, so I just want to make sure I have everything covered off. 1. Remove Safety Cover. Clean off any debris, fold it up, and put it in the cover 2. Close off all safety cover bolts 3...

My last test results were: CYA - 40 FC - 6 CC - 0.5 CH - 100 TA - 90 pH - 7.5 Every test I have done with my TF100 I have had a CC of 0.5. Anything under 1.0 is fine, but is there a reason that I would always have 0.5, and never 0?

Last night I gave my pool with Borax + Muriatic Acid treatment for 50ppm borates. It was also suggested that I add some salt to the water at 2000 ppm. I don't have a SWCG and the pool store people were telling me not to (don't even get me started in regards to the issue trying to buy 20L of...

The TF100 kit pH test is labelled in 0.4 increments. For example, if I am between 7.2 and 7.6 how do I know what the pH actually is ? Or does it matter?

Muriatic Acid - I called the pool place here that sells Muriatic Acid. I was told they carry it, but the guy said the concentration wasn't listed on the bottle. He said it had: Hydrochloric Acid, 20° Bé Is the strength of Muriatic Acid fairly standard at 31.45% I planned on using 33.7 kg...

My water looks perfect and my test results come back within the acceptable ranges. However when I get out of the water my skin feels pretty dry especially the skin on my face. I feel like if I look in the mirror I'm going to have the same problem as Joan Rivers. What causes this? Is there...
