Hello everyone, I've been using Ahh-some products (gel and Aqua Clarity) to purge and maintain my prior hot tubs. Recently, I was diagnosed with infections caused by Pseudomonas and Mycobacterium Abscessus (MAC), and I've been undergoing treatment with multiple antibiotics. I've come across...

I am about to purge new A series tub and need to know if I should remove the simplicity filters and place them in the tub (as was the case with the round filters). Specifically, should I remove the filter from its housing and place in tub or leave in the housing with filter in the tub? I will...

I have a bullfrog hot tub. Just pondering if “Tye of Pool” in poolmath should be fiberglass? I assume so, but figured it doesn’t hurt to ask the experts.

Ahh-some's Black Friday 20% deals are here so I am considering stocking up on their Swimming Pool Water Clarifier & Bio-Cleaner (I already bought one but didn't get around to using it). Instructions say use monthly, sp with my pool size I would be using the whole 6oz container.. once a month at...

I searched the forum and just found 2 threads.. one with a question but no answer and the other to a specific product. My question is more general. Is there any product that is safe (for Chlorine hot tub/filter and humans) and that actually is therapeutic? Thank you

I did a search but didn't see anything specific to this.. I understand the cover clips won't handle much wind. I am thinking of using a strap that can wrap around the entire hot tub. Does anyone have any thoughts or solution for this? Thanks!

Can anyone send me a photo of how you have your wiring for a sub-panel to a spa? My electrician used a breaker from old time spa hookup and it doesnt work. Now I have a breaker/box that will work but I need a photo to show me what lead goes where.

In a final push on sanity we decided to change our mind to place our new hot tube (delivery Saturday) from a (covered) lanai to the edge/near corner of our pool deck. Florida winds and heat are going to... well that's the question... is there some UV spray to use to protect it? What about the...

This is a break out of my other thread where I ask a similar question (I am hoping this will be more specific / increase visibility) : Hot Tubs... Bullfrog vs Caldera (with salt system) For Bullfrog owners who have added salt water generators, did you do this while under warranty? Are you...

After nixing the in-ground spa idea we are now looking into hot tubs.. former Vita Spa owner (it leaked, I couldn't seem to fix it.. loved that spa otherwise)... we are looking at either Bullfrog R7L or Caldera Seychelles... We really want the soft feel of salt (our pool has an SWG so we are...

Looking to get CYA back to SWG levels after SLAM (~30) so need a good quantity (& quality) of CA... anyone know of a relatively inexpensive place to purchase it? I have been buying this (thank you whoever recommended it on here) : Cyanuric Acid Stabilizer & Conditioner Chemical for...

------- Forgot to add: Spa will spillover to pool & I did see in the Hayward SWG Wiki about temperature >92 causing overamp = use less salt.. ------------ We are looking into a new spa (8' round) as an addition / renovation of existing pool. Pool company is saying they will use the existing...

I bought the kit (from TFTestkits) K-1766 2 years ago.. hardly used it.. recently did use and it seems fine. I had to re-order the primary refills… so to meet the $100 free shipping and being not sure about shelf life I ordered the refills for k-1766. Now I ponder: I have used maybe 1% of these...

I am really sick - went to Dr and have a virus 10 days of rest required. I was in middle of SLAM but 4/5 I became too sick to get out of bed for more than bathroom breaks-- I am improving but there is no chance i can check chemical levels let alone clean filters or brush.. Do I leave SWG where...

The screw that holds the lid to the filter housing unthreads (from the bottom) - everytime I clean the whole post comes out, I hand tighten) 2 pool contractors have told me to replace my filter completely - because 1. the one I have isn't made anymore (so what?) 2. most important that the...

I read most of the threads on ducks OR solar breeze but didn’t find for both or if it handles fine particles. Recently a family of ducks have decided to use the pool as a bath/room.. twice today and twice my lovely new warrior (thank you Marina Pools) cleaned it up.. but this is too much! I am...

My pump replacement delayed CYA at or near 0 (I added 2 Trichlor tablets I doubt that moved the needle and I don’t have many CYA tests left) Can I use the sock method squeezing every 30minutes and just run the pump 6 hours in the day (2 hrs at a time)? I can’t run it overnight. Otherwise do I...

After receiving advice on pool pump replacement, (Featured - Pump Failing) some responses included talk about Automation - Intelliconnect, Easytouch, Intellicenter. I also talked to a company and they were leading me to Jandy Automation / SWG due to better inter-company operability. Looking at...

I bought PH Pen (TFTeskits) yesterday I calibrated to 6.86 as instructed Tap water 7.8 Distilled 7.4 Pool 7.7 today: Tap 8.1 Distilled 8.2 Pool 8.4 Calibration fluid from yesterday: was wrong too but I can’t recall the value it doesn’t make any sense what am I doing wrong I can’t read the PH...

ok I normally search but didn’t sorry, I think this was answered but can’t delete my thread :( Anyway septic tanks/leech fields may not specifically have been mentioned and my question is related after the test is done not the unused chemicals so I hope I get a pass on my question :) I read here...

Several things here. A Summary: 1. My current SWG is faulty. Minimum Cell replacement required. Unit installed 2014 (what else has failed or soon will?) 2. PH goes up like crazy and CYA goes down really fast too (Florida, evaporation or something else?) 3. Due to 2 I am thinking use of...

My Hayward filter (See signature) pressure gauge broke (the glass broke) I see pressure gauge(s) on TFTestkits site and would like to replace with a nice one. Can someone suggest one from there (since I am ordering a testkit I might as well save shipping with the gauge) -- or is this a Hayward...

I have been SLAMMing (due to failed SWG + inadequate amount of Chlorinating Pucks) without a testkit.. seems to be going ok.. but then my pump became too noisy.. so I am going back to basics and buying a testkit (+replacing my pump & figuring a new SWG Cell) have a K-2005Complete kit (it...

I need advise as to how to proceed. I am thinking to replace my current pump with a variable speed pump (I have a quiet heat pump and do want to have the energy savings of a VS) -- but I live in Florida so lightning is a concern.. I have read on this forum it is possible to install a surge...
