So I understand you correctly: you have the hybrid heater and propane fuel so you have not been able to use the gas portion of the unit yet? I also have propane and am intrigued by this unit but am worried about the btus. I have a 400k propane unit now and I gain 1-2 degrees per hour during...

I'm not using a solar cover. I'd rather not have the hassle or the eyesore of it though Id consider it if I had to. I totally understand that the heat pump also has limitations.

I have a 30K+ gallon pool with a poolside spa. As such, I have a propane heater for quickly heating my spa. The propane heater works well for the pool too adding about 2 degrees per hour so I can get it to 85 or so degrees where we like it. This method does require a bit of planning ahead...

Update in case it can help someone else in the future. The suction side diverter was replaced and all is back to normal. Thanks for everyone's help. ajw22 - Yes, you're correct, there is light flow into the spa when the pool is on.

Interesting. Thanks for your help. I'll keep an eye on it and have it serviced if I can't resolve it.

Thanks. I'm filling pumping water back into the spa now. Will check the valves and see if I can resolve the issue by adjusting them.

This has happened a couple times in the past and resolved itself but never gotten to the point where the spa is almost entirely empty.

The valves for the spa are electronically controlled. Is it possible for them to get out of alignment? If so, how do I adjust them?

My pool side spa is losing water to the pool. The water level in the spa slowly drops while the water is diverted to the pool. Pumping the water manually from the pool back to the spa normalizes the water level in the pool but the water will slowly be diverted back to the pool. At first I...

Okay. Thanks everyone for your assistance. I have added muriatic acid and am running my spa. Will monitor and adjust accordingly.

A question about aeration - is having my swg on sufficient aeration? If not, would running my poolside spa bubbler do the trick?

Thanks for the reply. The CH is what worried me. The pool school solution was to replace 50% of the pool water. (yikes) So I was hoping there was an alternate way. Early in the season I fixed an Algae issue with a bunch of cal-hypo. Perhaps that's what drove me up so high. If it will...
