I have had a TF100 test kit for a couple years. We initially had an above ground pool. We have gotten rid of the pool and now just have a 410 gallon hot tub/spa. I need to order replacement chemicals. I feel like I won't use all of the chemicals, so not sure if a TF-100 refill kit is what I...

I have watched CraigsList and FB Marketplace for a patio heater. Didn't know if it would make a difference or not. I would also like to find a gazebo with sides on it to block the majority of wind, but I don't want to block the view of the stars. We live out in the country and quite enjoy...

Heavy bath robes and slip on shoes/crocks are on everyone's Christmas list. Any recommendation on where to purchase nice heavy, decent quality bath robes? We had our temperature set at 99* when it was a bit warmer out and we were cold getting out. We have now adjusted it to 102* and it does...

THANK YOU!!! I will look at the owner's manual.

Thank you. We did do a purge with AhhSome when we were setting it up, so we are confident that the spa is clean. I love the idea of the warm towels in a cooler to keep them warm. May have to try that. THANKS!!!

This will be our first winter with our hot tub. We got it free, used and have put some new pumps on it. Our plan is to use it all winter, but want to make sure we have it ready for winter. It is a 2002 SunDance Optima. It does not seem to have a constant water circulation. It does have...

So I don't need to bring the CH down? Do I need to be concerned about calcium build up? I have some PH minus stuff (Sodium Bisulfate 93.3%, Sodium Sulfate 6.7%). Will that work OK to lower the PH or do I need to get something else? How often do I need to re-check the TA if it is going to...

We picked up a free SunDance Optima. It was throwing a FLO code error. We have eliminated that error by replacing one of the jet pumps and also the circulation pump. see original post here Hot Tub pump questions - where do I post them? I am setting this up with a Smarter Spa SWG. Our...

Great question. I have been wondering the same thing. Had a pool, in.the process of getting rid of it. Got a used hot tub. Would love to have a short testing version of the instructions that came with the testing kit. Like which parts do I need to test for a hot tub and what are my goals...

Update........we have been in contact with an electrician. We have installed the new pump and we have confidence that this is the correct one. We refilled the tub last night and turned it on. No FLO error code. It heated up nicely and it up to temperature this morning. Everything seems to...

That is what I am thinking as well. Here is the wiring diagram vs what they did. Look where my finger is pointing. The black is correct, the white is supposed to be going somewhere completely different. Kind of scary and I don't completely understand it.

So, how did they do it? They only brought two wires out of the box on the hot tub, cut off the green ground wire and had it just using two wires. I wish I understood this info more so that I could explain it better to you guys. THANKS!!!

THANK YOU ALL SO MUCH!!! We are aware that it is a safety hazzard. I just discovered this morning the green ground wire had been cut off and not used when they installed the red 115v pump. We will certainly have it inspected before proceeding. The owner's manual for the hot tub calls for the...
