    After hot tub body stink

    We have a « new to us » hot tub. It has been filled and emptied twice, with a purge one of those times, then refilled for use. The water is crystal clear, the Ph and alkalinity are set correctly. The hot tub doesn’t smell during use, other than the odd waft of chlorine. We are using Smarter...

    Does anyone know what filter a Coast Spa Manhattan uses?

    The vendor has been less than helpful. Someone gave us the hot tub but it didn’t have any filters in it. The owners manual is useless. Thanks!

Both code and the bylaw say any door must be self closing and self latching, unless we fence the pool separately, which we don’t want to do.

    Persistent algae - finally beaten, I hope

    I've used a lot of material on this website and after a long struggle with algae, I thought this might help someone else. We have a 24 foot above ground pool. We have constant algae growth for the last two years, even the day after shocking with chlorine levels still high. Last year we did two...
