Thanks, ya'll. I had no idea it could take that long to lower TA. For some reason my old Hot Springs didn't seem to have high TA issues, but now I know I have some work to do :) And Thanks for the info on the ozone, if I can keep it going I figure it would be good, as long as I get my chems...

Excellent. I knew that lowering pH and aerating would drop the TA, but didn't realize you need to do it several cycles like that. Thanks again!

OK thanks very much! Yep, I've seen the dichlor to chlorine post, I'll have to check it out again. And I'll have to see where I have my numbers, I may be way high on the TA, I'll check. Thanks again.

Wow okay, that's great to know. Thanks!

Hey ya'll, if I should start a new thread please tell me, but this is related to the previous situation discussed in this thread. As I stated earlier, I got a new Bullfrog spa, and the ozonator crapped out. My LPB replaced it, but I'm thinking the new one may not be working now. My water was...

OK thanks, good points, I appreciate it and it does make sense to me.

OK, so my LPB was able to come out and did apparently agree with the assessments in this thread that the Ozone Generator was bad in my new Bullfrog Spa. If you look at the first entry in this thread, you can see that they replaced it with a different brand. Is there any reason this would not be...

OK that makes alot of sense, I'll pass that along when the Pool guys check it out. Thanks!

Thanks! And I love the idea of drilling the hole and routing the discharge through there, I have noticed some water coming from there sometimes.

Hello again, I had a thread earlier about the GFCI to my Bullfrog Spa tripping (it's a new spa), and I am still waiting for my LPB to check it out- not entirely their fault, I put them off due to sickness. At any rate, when the GFCI trips lately I've noticed that if it's off for any length of...

Yeah, I think 50 amp must be ok, I found this in the manual- 'Permanently-Connected 230V~/60Hz spas require a GFCI protected, 4-wire (Line 1, Line 2, Neutral and Ground), 230V~/60Hz, 50A, Single-Phase, dedicated electrical circuit.' Oh and it is maybe a 20' run at most, so hopefully we're good...

Okay, last night I went home and pulled the front cover off my spa. The heater and control board are housed in a big blue plastic box, with the 220V wiring coming directly into it. I took a picture of the hook-up, and it appears that the electrician may have switched the L1 and L2 wires? The...
