    Spa leaks internally when jets are turned on

    I'm having an issue with my spa where it leaks internally when I turn on JETS #1. I've linked a photo showing where the leaks are as well as a short video link showing the blast of water past the couplings when I turn on the jets. It doesn't leak when JETS #2 are turned on. Any thoughts on...

    Hayward S200 sand filter leaking at multi-port valve connections

    I have an older Hayward S200 sand filter and I replaced the multi-port valve last year. I noticed that there was a small leak around the connections where the valve connects to the filter. I tried tightening the connections more but I don't think I can get it any tighter without breaking...

    Hayward S200 filter replacing multi-port valve: PVC adapter threads too long?

    I have an older Hayward S200 sand filter and I'm replacing the multi-port valve because it is cracked internally which allows water to leak past the "spider" gasket out the waste line.

    New spa w/ Frog system - low PH and TA

    I just got a new spa with a built-in Frog system and the PH and Total Alkalinity are very low. Should I try to raise the TA first or the PH? Are borax & baking soda safe to use for raising PH and TA with the Frog system? Is there a guide and chemical calculator for spas like there is for...

    Do you ever need to change filter sand?

    I purchased my house about 3 years ago. It has an in-ground pool that was built in 1980. It has a sand filter, which I believe to be a Hayward S200. I can't find a model number, but it looks exactly like the pictures I find online. I have no way to be sure, I believe that this is the the...
