Voltmeter in hand ........ Solid 120v at each leg , and 240 between to the tub . Looks like I am getting anywhere between 1 - 1.5 ac volts between the tub water and concrete . Disconnected (not just turned the breaker off) , the 240v going to the tub and still have the 1-1.5 volts ...

James, I will get some pictures . This was a self install as far as the wiring goes . I am not a licensed electrician , but am fairly well versed in electrical systems . Also had an electrician look over the wiring and he said it looked fine . I also suspect there may be some stray voltage...

Still have to make a run and get the voltmeter from my shop , will do that today . RD , yes the hot tub is on a GFCI breaker sub-panel (per code) , and tested it this morning. It does trip if I push the test button . Is there anyway to test stray current in the hot tub water via voltmeter ...

Thanks John , will bust out the voltmeter and check to make sure the tub is at least wired correctly , and a proper ground . Oh and Yes, rural area with livestock in the vicinity . Not sure if we are dealing with electrified fencing or anything . It could have been like this for a long...

Thanks JohnT for the reply . This is an attached garage , older house about 40 y/o . Rural , well pump is approx 50' from garage (not sure how deep) . 200amp panel is in the garage bay that the hot tub is located , approx 20' away . Checked the grounding electrode ......from the main 200amp...

Ok, here is a weird one for the electricians in the house (maybe its not even an electrical prob !,lol) . So ....... Newish Strong 400 gallon hot tub . About a year old , located inside (garage hot tub !) , never had any notice of this problem before ......... Hot tub is a salt tub, running the...

Funny , because HotSprings has a Saltwater SWG system built into some of their tubs . Cant see them voiding a warranty on only some of their tubs due to salt water , when other ones have it from the factory . Hot Springs "Freshwater Salt System" If at all possible, go with a Saltron Mini . It...

We have had zero corrosion issues . To tell you the truth , I cant really even tell its a saltwater tub , if I didn't know first hand that I put the salt in it myself . The salt concentration is so low it negligable. Its nothing like the ocean like some people think . Our tub is brand new and...

We love our Saltron Mini as well , as a matter of fact just ran all of our water tests , and of coarse its perfect with the Saltron Mini running the show . Switched over from a Stenner system I was using on the hot tub, and I couldn't be happier . Nothing against the Stenner , if was rock solid...

Ok ........having a hot tub for the first time can be a little daunting . It looks great when you first fill it up , right ? The trick is keeping it looking great (and safe) for the long term. You dont want to be draining and filling this thing every 3-4 weeks ! There is plenty of good help...

I dont think I would want the liability of a hot tub in a weekly rental property . That said ...... If I were going to have one, I would for sure, make sure the control pad could be locked . Dont want any guests changing all kinds of settings . Some hot tubs can lock only the important...

Agreed .......more than likely you would have an error code if its not heating with a Gecko . Maybe its just taking a while because of the cold temps ? From the display, it appear like everything is working ?

That looks like a Gecko control pad . That symbol is just a filter cycle icon . I believe that icon lights up when a purge cycle is activated. It is not an error code or anything like that . An error code would be something like letters on your display - Prr would be temp probe , Flo would be a...

Just did an Ahh-some treatment on our brand new tub ........just because ! I had a half a vessel left over from treating our old tub a few months ago, so I figured, wth, might as well give the brand new tub the Ahh-some treatment . Surprisingly , even though it was a brand new tub , still had a...

Your pictures of the RJ60+ you received from Circupool / Discount Salt , looks exactly like the unit I received a few months ago . My power cord was also approx 48" long and had the ends of the wires bare stripped , ready for connections (that is how a lot of hard wired electronics are shipped)...

Our pool got up to a balmy 62 degrees a few weeks ago , then the cold snap and rain came back ! Now we are hovering in the 40's gain !

It is possible your water pressure switch is out of adjustment or just set too high . I also have a heat pump heater (not a Hayward ), and when I first installed my VS pump (same one as yours) , I couldnt get the heater to run unless the pump was up to at least 2400/2500 rpm. I was disapointed...

Yea, that is probably a smart decision . At least it will be a direct swap, its 220v and you already know the pump in and out. Plus you will have a spare now . Good luck with the swap over !

Hey tcat , great job getting that stenner up and running again . Maybe all it needed was a thorough cleaning ! My EconT is a 120v version . It just plugs into a standard outlet . I have 3 summer season on it . SO .........in Central PA , thats about 18 months of pool time total , lol . Main...

I have been using Stenner EconT's for both my stand alone hot tub and pool for a while now. They are rock solid and I have had NO issues with them . Other than tubing replacements annually , I have had to do nothing to them . Timer is perfect , and they just plain work . Due to the shortages of...

That is actually a hot tub made by Strong Spas . You can look them up to find out more about the construction and details . The tub you are looking at is actually a Strong "Summit" series version . Its a Strong SL60 (with a lot more jets) . Strong Spas I have noticed that Strong markets heavily...

Agreed, but I do think we are talking about different units now . At least thats what I am seeing . Home depot has a new Xtremepower40 model listed and has discontinued the old version . The new Xtremepower40 is now a totally different unit than the old one (like the Circupool Universal40...
