I have a 1988 Mr. Spa. Hi limit switch for heater doesn't work anymore. Number is C1-22 RX120 032587 275-2898-00 Eaton/Mears. Has long red button on it and about a 6 inch long copper wire with 1/4" or 5/16" bulb (can't tell). Max 121 degree. All of this is written on the stamp on side of...

Would I need to replumb all of this then? None of this just bolts in?

Wow, thanks for that information. Very valuable. Are you saying one of those kits will replace the control module in the Mr. Spa?

Just picked up one of these. It was free. It looks like it's in excellent condition too. Filled it with water and ran it. Only a couple of issues. 1. Small leak at top water outlet. Leaks from underneath, but you can see where it's leaking. Wonder if the chrome piece screws off from the...

^^I know, we're 95% going artificial at this point.

Not when the city is involved. :)

This is similar to how it would look. Everything I've read states you only need that bonding if the material is conductive, which grass is not. Since the coping is attached to the bond beam, that should be bonded with the pool.

To be clear, I'm not putting any decking down. It will be grass (maybe artificial). The only hard substance is the actual coping which would be attached to the bond beam. That article states only concrete or paver decking would be conductive. FYI: I am talking to the city but I want to avoid...

How is that done in this situation?

This pool is 40 years old. The old coping has been removed. What is left is the bond beam. There are some parts of the pool where rebar comes out of the top and is bent over toward where the old concrete patio was. That patio is being replaced with dirt and grass (maybe artificial grass). If I...

Specifically in relation to the pool coping alone. Coping isn't metal. The material that will be up against the coping is dirt and grass. Does the coping require bonding? Would love an explanation considering the coping is brick and attached to the bond beam with cement. :confused:

Hi all. Redoing my coping. The old coping came off in a 'chippy' kind of fashion. Wondering why there is a layer of about 1 1/2" thick cement on the top of the pool bond beam. Some of it failed and was separated while the rest is on there good. What should I use it build it back up? (The picture...
