I should have asked here first, guys :( But I trusted thousands of great reviews on Amazon...

Hello, You guys have probably heard about copper ionizers, like this one: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00IIXKL6O/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1 I got 2 of them and I don't really see copper levels increasing, so I'm afraid to decrease my chlorine levels. Also, here are...

Thank you. I added more water, turned on the pump and turns out a pipe above ground cracked. Thank God, will be easy to fix.

Hello guys, I wanted to swim today (I have a heater, so water is almost 90 degrees), but found that my pool has lost water down to the bottom of the skimmers. I swam 2 days ago and everything was fine. I also didn't see any water loss (or didn't notice) yesterday. I don't think we had freezing...

Update: So... after I dried up the spa internals with an electric heater & a fan, reconnected all the cables/wires, replaced 2 leaking unions & added some scotch tape to prevent water from getting inside, my spa is finally working! It was working the whole evening yesterday, and has been working...

Here's an update guys: In the previous episode: ...Started tripping again, without any rains. I tried to disconnect everything on the board and connect again and it started working immediately after that (suggesting bad connection somewhere).... In the latest episode: But later it stopped...

Why? The pump is for the pool, not for the spa.

Thank you. It was tripping even when everything on the left side & the heater (2 wires in the top right corner of the board) were disconnected. It made me think something on the board itself was tripping. So I started unplugging everything on the board one by one. And eventually, the GFCI...

Thank you. Yesterday the GFCI started tripping again, although there was no rain and everything looks dry. I disconnected a lot of cables/wires from the board and on the board and it started working again. So it seems the reason is not a water leak but a bad connection somewhere on the board...

Ok, guys, finally 3 months later, I got time to look into the hot tub issue. To my surprise, when I tried to turn the GFCI on, it didn't trip. I tried turning on the spa and it did, jets & lights were working. But I quickly noticed that it was leaking from the union connecting the heating...

Turns out it is a DIY project for someone without experience in servicing gas heaters :) I replaced the pilot: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B003ZTQMUU/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 the tension wire...

Thank you!

Hello, I accidentally increased FC too much, FC is 9 ppm now, CYA is 30 ppm. May I swim, or I have to decrease FC or increase CYA first? If I shouldn't swim now, what the minimum FC for CYA = 30 I should swim with? Kind regards, Pavel

Thank you. I'm willing to try to reanimate it and use it until it dies completely. I took the heat exchanger off, cleaned it up with a pressure washer and cleaned everything I could reach in a heater with a pressure washer. See the 4 pictures below of how it looked after cleaning. I cleaned the...

Thank you, will try soon!

@RDspaguy Yes, the GFCI breaker trips while my hand is still on it or within a few seconds after I release it. As I said, it trips even if everything is disconnected from the board, i.e. I tried disconnecting all these connectors: Although I don't see a label for heater connection here.

Hello, While I was on vacation I left my spa in the "Sleep" mode. When I came back, the spa wasn't working and I saw that the GFCI trips immediately. I opened the spa, disconnected power cables and the GFCI doesn't trip anymore. But when I connect the high voltage cable - it trips (doesn't trip...
