I am stumped. I replaced my spa blower a few months ago with the same model (240v, 1hp, 2.6 amps). The blower runs for about five minutes and shuts off. I put in a bleed valve to divert some of the air pressure away from the spa return. That did not make a difference. I thought the outside...

You may be shocked by how much lower your electricity usage will be after you experiment with slower pump speeds. I was very shocked when I changed from a 3hp single speed to a VS. My average usage went from 2800kWh/month to 800-1000/month. I had just installed a home solar system and could have...

My thoughts exactly after I checked my levels...WTH! I do watch my pH on a daily basis. I tried a water exchange a few years ago but did not drain enough water to make an impact. ...local water is not a problem (Dallas Water Utilities).

I have solar which now produces more electricity than I use because I went from a single speed pump to variable-speed right after the solar install. I don't have the Powerwall but have considered it. The threads I've read on other sites from homeowners with Powerwall is that it works great to...

At the time of the photo, no tracks. Some appeared later in the week. EDIT... I just realized what looks like tracks to the right of the hot tub are actually the ropes used to tie the Skamper ramp to the deck.

I'm sorry I did not see your original post before this mess started. Now that we are coming out of this weather I can tell you what worked for me (with an in-floor cleaning system) just as a reference. My equipment is next to my fence on the south side of the house (away from the house)...

Haha... There was a time when she was a one-year-old and did not care about the temperature of the water...I had to erect a fence around the pool to keep her out!
