AHA! Slapped in the face by another senior moment. I should have figured that out on my own.

A pretty kitty cat/water taster-tester. If TFP would allow, I'd post more pics.

If it's good enough for them, it's good enough for me?

IMHO - It's a shame that they haven't figured out how to improve this app significantly. Modern smartphones have cameras so good that they rival even some DSLRs. This app should at least be a close second to other methods of testing. The first thing missing is a calibration procedure that uses...

I just put in a new 406. Same thing. Maybe more. What bothers me most though is the swing/differential/hysteresis/or-whatever-it's-called. The hot tub will heat and shut off in 15 or 20 minutes to what I feel is comfy. But before it comes back on it starts to feel too cool. I don't know if...

I'd like to see what's inside. If you're game for a little inexpensive experimentation ($10-20) a cheap Chinese/Amazon/eBay remote could work if it's on the right frequency. I use a four-button to control my pump speed and a single button to control the heater on/off.

Thanks for all the comments, folks. It looks like the noise and shipping damage are being overstated. I'm looking at the Raypak now, too. As for rodents, $700 will buy a LOT of mothballs.

I want very much to pull the trigger on a new, more efficient heater, the MasterTemp because the footprint is small and should be close to being a drop-in replacement. However, there are some comments that give me pause: 1) They seem to be prone to being damaged in transit. 2) They've also...

That's what I was seeing yesterday. Though I don't always expect it to be so. That would be me. It's a DIY black irrigation tubing affair. It sits on top of what we call the Ramada (a 6x28 corrugated steel roof over the equipment pad and propane tank). Maybe 4 feet higher than the filter gauge...

I'm playing with pump speed and watching the incoming/outgoing water temperature differences. I've learned from reading here that more volume is generally better than less. But too much flow can also be bad. Looking at it from a different perspective, do I want a greater delta or smaller delta?
