    Refill spa or not after winterization

    After winterizing pool/spa combo do you refill the spa or keep it half way as it is. I don’t want to ruin new plaster? I have solid cover Thank you.

    HELP PLEASE. FIRST TIME SELF CLOSE AND OCD

    @ajw22. Do you know with cyclone or in general with air pressure - once all pipes are blown out and locked - air has nowhere to escape; is that a problem for piping? Do I have to turn off the air/cyclone as soon as last pipe is air locked?

    HELP PLEASE. FIRST TIME SELF CLOSE AND OCD

    @ajw22 I was told that with heavy snow i cant rely on just spring and need frozen water to support the cover. I mainly wanted advice on how to blow out main drain knowing that it is both on suction and return line. Also do you know for Cyclone - does connection need to be really tight when...

    I also have solid cover so I need to support it that is why I thought of only draining 2 inches below skimmers.

    Questions about spa blower and closing.

    1. When closing the pool do we need to blow out the spa air blower line and if so how to do it? 2. And another question which I know gets a lot of attention here. The closing instructions say to lower water below the return line and then refill ( I have solid cover) but it would cause...

    TF100 how to use

    Good morning ladies and gentlemen. We recently purchased TF 100 and trying to learn how other people are able to give such precise measurements after their test at home. I feel like we have a range for pH or Hardness. How do you determine your actual number rather than range? Thanks in advance.

    Bubbles mystery?

    Good evening I hope some can give me an advice about bubbles in return jets of the spa I get consistent bubbles from one of my spa jets and occasionally the one next to it without air blower being on.

    Air in the filter

    Ok. I just want to clarify. It didn’t do that 1 month ago. Is it ok to have air entering somewhere into the plumbing but no visible water leak. Thanks
