    Frustrating Floaters in our Barefoot hot tub

    Holy cats that was thorough. I also received feedback from Ahh-some that a 24-hour soak might be in my best interest. So the next step is to fill it up and purge one more time with a 24-hour sit. I will update over the weekend.

    Frustrating Floaters in our Barefoot hot tub

    Ok Update! Here are some up-close pictures behind the jet sleeves and of the gunk on the jets. I thought Ahh-some would have cleaned this out? After further inspection, it looks like each of these "grey soft gaskets" have build upon them. I tried to use a vinegar wash to clean them and a nylon...

    Frustrating Floaters in our Barefoot hot tub

    Hello all, I have had a heck of a time getting these floaters out of the hot tub. Long story short we had a friend of the family watch the house over Christmas. The hot tub was used, a lot. They tried to read the directions on how to clean it and ended up using stuff. I don't know what they...

    Filter filtering? Can't get clear!

    Just some feedback from this issue. It ended up that the control valve on my sand filter was bad/leaking. After 4 days with the new head module on I can see the bottom of the shallow end and all the rungs on the ladder of the deep end. This is for anyone that has a similar problem. What I didn't...

    Filter filtering? Can't get clear!

    Thanks for the feedback, I work from home and can measure my FC hourly if need be. I say ~10 because I can't get to the first number but it is getting closer. I am adding both a solid with CYA and liquid to maintain my numbers and increase CYA. I realize it takes time for CYA to rise and I...

    Filter filtering? Can't get clear!

    Hello all, Water filtering question. As you can see from these two pictures I have a very cloudy pool. I have been running my filter for a week now in preparation for SLAM. I started the process in March, weather and timing cut me short, but I spent a few days in SLAM and felt it was a good...

    Mask necessary when adding chlorine or shock?

    So for once, I can offer some help back to this board. I am a certified Industrial Hygienist. I hope this helps. When working with standard bleach products that you will put in your pool you will not need a respirator. In fact, most people would wear a filtering facepiece respirator, or dust...

    JXi Gas Fired Pool heater 400 reading Negative 1.7" WC when it turns on

    I completely agree with you. Which is why I posted here first. I had an authorized dealer to the installation and setup. They did install a new regulator. The problem is that after the heater turns on it goes from 17 WC to negative 1.7"WC. How does it go negative?

    JXi Gas Fired Pool heater 400 reading Negative 1.7" WC when it turns on

    So four weeks ago we had a Jandy JXi installed at the house. At that time they also needed to install a new gas valve? It looks like it throttles gas to the heater in line not inside the equipment. Anyhow, after they come back and install that they say it works. Well I try it the next weekend...

    Heat pump of natural gas heater for Charlotte area?

    My heater ate it over the winter and is leaking out of a few different places. Not worth repairing. So I am looking to replace the heater. The house is 3 stories and unfortunately not conducive to solar. We could build brackets in the backyard along the fence line but I am worried they would be...

    L700C Vita spa heater question

    So I replaced the heater last year and it failed within a year. I went to replace it this year and the E2400-0127ETX seems to be out of stock pretty much everywhere. Has anyone had experience with using other parts to heat with? The tub is pretty old, and definitely has seen use, not by our...

    First off, first real year using TFP and my pool is gorgeous. Thank you very much TFP for making owning a pool a pleasure and not a chore. I have two small issues I would like to have some help with. The first are the little brown circles, copper looking that I have on the pool floor. The...
