    Polaris Quattro Sport: top keeps coming off

    It’s probably about two years old which is the warranty I have. Few hours after this post I had it running and the wheel broke off.

    Polaris Quattro Sport: top keeps coming off

    Unsure the issue but probably will have to change more parts out. cleans very well but not reliable and sturdy. the top keeps coming off, any ideas the cause? assuming the main housing and/or the top basket part will have to be replaced. thank you

    Calcium mineral deposits on tile and rock features

    How do I prevent the deposits? I had it sandblasted about a year ago and that worked great, but now its back. what chemical tests do I need to look at and what about adding metal out occasionally?

    CYA and calcium deposits on tile

    Thank you for reply. The white deposits at the top of the tile picture number 1, spa, were sand blasted off late last year, around October. Seems to be coming back very quickly. FC was high because I just opened pool took cover off and shocked. So "metal off" regularly wont help?

    Excessive Chlorine use? Maybe?

    ok great thanks. last summer the cyanuric acid was way high, so I drained half. just want to be careful about it moving to high. I guess since I am off the tabs, then no worries about that getting out of control.
