    New Jacuzzi Brand Hot Tub Cover - Sunbrella material?

    We have a new Jacuzzi spa with that cover on it. It's great. Beats that vinyl cover any day. Inside is still plastic though. Seems existing cover lift systems will work.

    New House, Old Pool, Can't get spa suction to work

    It looks like some kind of plug in the drain. Can you loosen them and pull them out?

    Electrical Code question

    Anything closer than 6 feet to water must be on a GFCI circuit. Pump has water in it so it should be bonded with an external bonding wire also. Any other electrical equipment at pool pump pad area (heater, lights, SWG, etc) that has metal must be bonded also.

    pump throwing breaker

    The capacitor starts the motor turning. If it's bad it won't turn the motor. It will just sit there and hum. You'll need to good electrical test meter with a capacitor setting to test the capacitor.

    Pool math with bromine spa

    While I can add another pool to Poolmath, it doesn't have a choice for acrylic surface. Also it could run on chlorine, but I'm using bromine. No way to enter those. I think it would be really helpful if we could get Poolmath to have a fully spa centric setup.

    Pool math with bromine spa

    So I have been poking around here and it seems Pool math will not work with bromine in a spa. I would like to request an upgrade to Poolmath to allow an additional spa be added to track spas specifically with bromine or chlorine.

    Help remind me...

    With your CYA at 70 poolmath recommends 8 - 10ppm FC

    I should have said FC. Free chlorine level.

    Chlorine in summer

    Yeah I know what you mean. I had a pool service company just adding tabs once a week. The pool was getting algae on the walls. I got a good test kit and found the CYA off the charts. The only way to fix it is to drain the pool. :mad:

    Chlorine in summer

    Your CYA levels may be way too high. This will make your chlorine ineffective. You'll need to test for your CYA level. I only use liquid chlorine as the tabs will continually increase the CYA levels until you drain the pool to get ride of them.

    Recommended testing kit

    You might try Amazon CA. Look for the Taylor K-2006 and/or K-2006C. The difference is the C kit has larger bottles of reagents 2oz versus 3/4 oz.
