I have the same issue. I've kicked the can on fixing it but this is another person with a similar issue. Spa Spillway leaking? Need a sealant?

I suspect the masons used "normal grout" and not pool grout. It's the same grout they used for the rest of the stonework around the pool. It looks nice but erodes away. Water then followed the paths of least resistance with some coming down the spa wall toward the pool and some flowing around...

Never heard back on this so not sure if @gocubs418's fix worked or not. Yes, I know this is old, but so is the leak. Mine is almost identical. Water is seeping out under/around the stone spillway. After the spillway turns off, water will drip slowly from the seam between the two large flat...

@Jimrahbe and @bedelliott Y'all were both kind enough to reply back to help with my issue I reported. Here's a recap and update. Freeze protection: As I understand it (and have observed) my Pentair controller turns on freeze protection mode when the air temp gets to 35 degrees and it runs...

In the diving world we used to joke about something similar. A trial size of baby shampoo was somewhere around $0.50 per bottle, but if you change out the label to say "Scuba dive mask de-fog" it was $6. I replaced by o-ring but have developed a small drip. I need to go back out and put on...

Sure, thanks for looking into it. The data prior to that is probably a few months old as I didn’t test much over the winter.

I went into the Pool Math app (v350(3575)) that I've used for almost 2 years and kept getting the error saying my phone must have been swimming. When I click on Logs, it says "Looks like you haven't added any logs yet..." I logged out then logged back in but that didn't help. I'm not sure what...

@jwalkermed Howdy from Boerne! I also have a spa that's leaking, somewhat. Who was your builder?

Pump shut off: I don't know. I'd say "no," but I'm not out there watching it. But I get where you're headed there. So in theory, the spa mode kicks in, maybe there's some air in the drain line then the valves open to drain the spa, the pump cavitates and then the spa drains into the pool...

Having just said all that, I went back out and the spa was running and had dropped a foot. I've now set it all to manual valves, with 20% draining from the spa and 25% filling it, so there's constant flow on both the pool and spa side.

Howdy, y'all! Oh how I do not miss Minot ND, yet somehow it feels a little like it in South Texas today... if only for a few hours. It is 21 degrees this morning. I need your help to solve a freeze protection mystery. This has happened at least 4 times now. Freeze protection kicks on and...

I second what @HermanTX said about holding final payment. There is a LOT that can happen after "before plaster" when your proposal B requires the final money to be paid. In our contract, we didn't owe the final 5% until after everything was done. And the company we contracted never really...
