Which is what I just did

Yes, they are both marked public.

Thank you , that seemed to work!

Ok, I've had a Dolphin M500 for about 8 years now, 3-4 years ago it started acting strange, so I sent it back to Maytronics to have a look, it was just out of warrantee (of course) but Maytronics replaced the guts free of charge anyway so kudos to them!! So, a couple weeks ago it started acting...

I hate it when that happens!!

So, I have a Saltron mini that I bought in October of 2022. It just died!! The power unit/controller has just quit, no lights no nothing and yes it has power at the outlet! I can find NO info on warrantee information, but I doubt its over 2 years. So, my question is do I just buy another (it has...

UPDATE: My capacitor arrived yesterday, and all is well, which is a good thing the pool was a disaster with everything blowing into it with this hurricane going through! So I gave it a 24 hour chlorine blast for good measure!

So I searched all around reasonably close by to no avail! Amazon had the exact same one it will be here Friday, 12 bucks delivered! I did talk to my local HVAC guy, he had one that would work but it would not fit in the cover though.

Ok, pump spins freely, got the capacitor out and now I'm going to see if I can find one local so I can get this guy running, thanks Guys!! I'll let you know.

Perfect, thanks

Thanks, heading out to have a look now

Came home for lunch today and the pool was not running!! Plumbing all looks clear, went in the pump house to discover the pump was just humming! Turned it off and back on, same thing. Where is a good place to start with this? Oh, its a Pentair single speed pump. Thanks.

Ok, Time for me to get a new cover for my hot tub, I don't want cheap junk, nor do I want to break the bank.... Suggestions?

So if your cartridge filter removes it overnight why bother with the fiber fill thing? My cartridge filter will filter out some of it and ends up looking like a coffee filter, but it does not remove it all and then I get some coloring of the water and stains in my tub. And you need to run the...

Yes, skimmer was the first place I checked, and everything was good.

Good idea, but it loses prime even while it is running, not just when its off. And some of the time the pump basket stays full when off.

So on my pool, went out the other day to start the pump and it seemed like it had lost prime, took forever to get it going, ended up opening my vacuum port to allow more water to enter the system to get it going. But here over the last few days it seems to randomly lose prime (?) will quit...

Thanks, yes that would be the one.. I went back like 5 pages couldn't find it and gave up. But yes, I think my "Experiment" was/is a success! Nice to be able to fill the hot tub with fresh water and not recycled pool water, especially with the different amounts of salt they take! Just thought...

So, I posted on this before but its been a while and I could not find the thread, anyhow.... I know there is mention of getting rid of iron in water to keep the tub clean and here is my method, easy, small expenditure, and always works! I started out by noticing my sand filter in my pool would...

Ok, same with me..

So do you do anything to try to alter the soft water? I too have very soft water from my well and I don't seem to have any ill effects from it. I guess that would be different with a concrete or gunnite pool.

Just remember you will have a Chlorine hot tub if you do this, the SWG just turns the salt into chlorine.

I think I've had mine for 15 months now and it runs about 8 hrs a day, 2 sessions of 4 hours each, still going strong as far as I can tell. Not sure I'm allowed to do this here, but I'd be interested in your spare cell if you are wanting to part with it. PM me I guess.

A lot of times if my tub is getting a little low, and a big rain is coming I open mine on purpose to fill it a bit. My lid also has drain holes on the underside toward the middle and if it feels heavy I'll stand one up in the middle for a bit to let it drain. The baseball hat is a good idea, we...

I switched to the Saltron mini about a year ago and have had no issues at all, made it so much easier to take care of! My tub did come with the titanium heater so if there is a problem with a stainless one I have not had that issue.

I'm sure they didn't make as much money as if they had built them one!

Yes, my pool came with a SWG (Reasonably expensive option) and a year maybe 2 after getting this Hot Tub I splurged and got the mini. So pleased with the results. SWG in the pool died after about 5 years and the replacement was $900 and change... money well spent. I still use those 3" pucks...
