    Most common type of Disconnect Terminal used in Hot Tub Circulation pumps ?

    I'm going to use these. General rule the red insulated electrical terminal may be used in sizes from 22 to 18 gauge, blue for wires from 16 to 14 gauge, yellow for wires from 12 to 10 gauge, and so on.

    The gauge of the copper wire itself is 18. It was larger than 20, but smaller than 16. 18 was perfect.

    Most common type of Disconnect Terminal used in Hot Tub Circulation pumps ?

    Just bought a new circulation pump, it came with a cord and a typical plug. My Jacuzzi needs a disconnect terminal for the Hot and Neutral (not the ground). Anyone know if there is much difference between 12-10 AWG and 16-14 AWG ? Pump LX CIRCULATION PUMP WTC50M 240V 1 1/2 INCH 48 Fr...

    Rat-proofing a Hot Tub ?

    Chlorine pucks don't deter squirrels in pool huts. Ask me how I know.

    Spa filter broke off, no lip to twist it out, in there pretty tight (see .jpg attached)

    I took a screwdriver to the side (hit it with a hammer) and it snapped easily. Then I took a screwdriver and a hammer to it as seen hereL and it loosened enough for me to unscrew it manually. Now Im deciding if this "mesh" is supposed to be there:

    Rat-proofing a Hot Tub ?

    Would half a pool puck in there put enough chlorine gas in there to make it less hospitable ? Would the chlorine also aggravate the control panel ? (not sure). 12 Smells that Mice and Rats Hate (#1 is Unbelievable) is a Youtube video.

    Newbie to Hot Tubs - Is this one Ok? Sundance McKinley

    Hot tubs that stay dry for long periods time being sold are at risk for leaks after.

    I thought this forum was just for Water Chemistry. I was kinda surprised not to see a dedicated hot tub / spa forum. Good news, I was able to get the blue part out. (more pictures later). Now I'm deciding if the grey holed circle is supposed to be there ! it's definitely just on one side.
