Thanks! I’ll pass this thread along to them. And a big thank you for all the support and timely, practical answers to questions. We’re moving to the Pacific Northwest. May be looking for hot tub info in the future.

Hi, we’re moving and the new owners are interested in using PoolMath and TFP. I’m thinking about passing along recent PoolMath logs to them by sending a link to my backup on DropBox. Will they be able to download that file into their PoolMath app?

Thanks!

It’s the oak pollen season in Austin. With heavy rain, the pool turned yellow. I thought I’d try SLAM to clear it up more quickly this year, so I followed PoolMath bleach addition suggestion and added 2 gallons yesterday. Running pump 24/7 and Polaris is scurrying around getting the gunk off the...

The housing is not coming out of the gunite. There are two parts that are threaded into the housing in the gunite, so two seals that could be leaking.

There’s a housing embedded in the gunite. It is threaded for a wall fitting that is threaded for the jet insert. Housing and wall fitting: Waterway 3-1/2" - 4-1/4" Poly Screw-in Jet Housing Jet insert: Waterway Poly Jet Inserts

I can only remove them by screwing them out. I recall that at the time of the pressure testing all of the jets were removed. Some came out as only the jet insert, others came out with the housing. Unfortunately, I don’t recall which ones. I’ve been looking at SpaDepot for replacement jets and...

Any further thoughts or advice?

Filter pressure is 24 in pool mode and 25 in spa mode. The jets are difficult to screw in, but I think I’m getting them seated all the way. They all seem to come to a solid end point. That said, I looked closely at the threads on the two that were left out. The threads are flattened. Hope I...

Thanks for working through this with me. I‘m at a loss and unsure which direction to go next. I drained the spa below the level of the jets, pulled all the jets, closed down the air ports; then put it in spa mode and ran it for 10-15 minutes with both ports closed, then one port opened...

1) They are rotating fixtures. The move very slowly, if at all. 2) There are two air ports and six jets. Both air ports are affected. With all jets in, I have to screw down both air ports to keep from losing water. When I flushed, the air ports were totally open; ie, the caps were removed...

The pump was used. The leak was outside the spa and below grade level. It’s hard to imagine how it’s the cause. I’m wondering about two possible explanations. Are there other possibilities that I’m missing? 1) The jets are so worn that they don’t allow sufficient flow to create the venturi...

Yes, I drained the spa, removed all 6 of the jets, then put in spa mode and ran water for a while before reinstalling the jets. As best I could tell, the aeration ports and pipes drained, but I didn’t blast any air through them. Made sure all jets we open before re-starting, still pumped water...

How would I remove the internal jets? The photo shows what I removed. I did run the pump with all the jets removed. If I put just one of them back in, water comes out the aerator ports.
