I got is last week - just got it installed and it fits and looks nice! They only had brown - which actually works in our color scheme. Originally had grey vinyl. Seems really nice. It is light. It is called Weathershield. We will see - I will post pics in a couple of days. Thank you all...

@santacruzpool I‘m unsure if the exact name of material - he explained it was like the Sunbrella material. Everything you said is what he said. can you still use a cover lifter on it? I have a center lift that is hydraulic and holds it up behind the tub.

Question - I’m have a circ pump replace in my 2012 Jacuzzi J 345. I asked them if the had any Jacuzzi covers for my J 345 and they said yes - it’s not the vinyl its the new sunbrella type material and the last couple of years Jacuzzi has been using this material and it’s a better cover. This is...

Warranty is one thing. Getting the service department out is another thing. Those two trump any price savings you are looking to get. Find a GREAT service center and an okay sales person and you will be more content. If the stars align - you'll get both... but if you ever need service, even...

And the purge wasn’t that “dirty”.

I flush and fill my tub twice a year (spring and late fall). I do an Ahh-Some purge overnight, dump it, refill it, add about 10-12 oz bleach, cycle once, dump it and fill it again.

Good day all - I have a Jacuzzi J-345 (2014) with UV. 340 gallons. I do the bleach/dichlor method I flush and fill my tub twice a year (spring and late fall). I do an Ahh-Some purge overnight, dump it, refill it, add about 10-12 oz bleach, cycle once, dump it and fill it again. I did it...

Good day all! Question - because I think I may have been doing this incorrectly all these years... is the water balancing. I always used Nitro's water balancing write up. I also use the bleach / dichlor method. So to my question... if you read the write up on how to balance the water, you...

I let mine sit overnight - running it 3-4 cycles before letting it sit overnight and wiping the sides down during the 3-4 cycles. I also use an aquarium fish net to scoop out gunk in the foam and floating on the water. A long overnight soak with Ahhsome results in a very clean...

Question... I’ve been using the bleach dichlor method for the last 5 years - entire life of the tub. I read nitro’s water balance many times and think I’ve been doing it right... or at least almost right. Jacuzzi J345 340 gallons I take my initial readings and plug them into the pool...

I agree on the Ahhsome - read my trials and tribulations here. I do a complete purge/refill/20ppm bleach/empty/refill - and my water sparkles clear every time. When I do purge it now, the water doesn't look like it needs to be purged - I still do it after the cold snap in early spring and as...

I had the same experience as you, even the filters getting discolored - although I was not switching from Bromine. Here was my journey: SOLVED: Hot Tub Green Water Color Issue After Clean Fill - Fixed with Ahh-Some! After a few purges and then using the maintenance does weekly, I just flushed...

I have been doing this since last September with a fresh flush and fill last November and this past May. I did not see a build up bubbles - even at the end of the long winter until I could flush and fill. In all honesty, the water stayed much more stable and clear. Ahh some has a sister product...

Not sure that is a completely true statement - I see a lot of stand alone spa users on here that I have interacted with. The moderator (tim5055) right above your post has a stand alone spa. I also found I get a better response here than at Pool and Spa Forum. That use to be active, but seems...

Basically what Gerry told me was that mixing 2oz of Ahh-Some gel in a gallon of water creates a diluted version of Ahh-Some. By adding about 2oz (depending on size of tub - you want the bubbles to dissipate after about 20 seconds of turning off your jets). I have a 340 gallon tub and use 2oz...

I will tell you how I do it - and it has work well! My story is on here from last Labor Day and the headache I had using SeaKlear Purge. I also use the bleach / Dichlor method which works great...

Doesn't keeping you CSI slightly negative assist in keeping the buildup in your pumps and heaters to a minimum?

So I checked by PH and FC the day after and my results were: PH = 7.8 FC = 2.0 (number may be a little off - I added 2oz of Ahhsome Maintenance Dose Solution) I can honestly say after all the trouble I had purging my tub last Labor Day, and the using the Ahhsome maintenance dose once every...

Thanks - it's an acrylic tub (Jacuzzi J345) wasnt sure if if I need to up the CH or not. No foam. Did the Ahhsome purge again and flush and fill and flush and fill again then balance. We we seem stable now - we'll check again tomorrow after it settles in. Thanks - Scott

I filled my tub with half soft water and half city water that is really hard. My beginning numbers look like this: FC 3.0 TA 200 CH 100 PH 7.6 CYA 5.4 by calculation Is my CH too low? My target TA is 65 and by the time I add the 50 ppm of Borates and my CYA gets up 30 by CSI number is: 7.6...

Stick with it until you at least get down to an extreme minimal amount of random brown discharge or faint line. I went through 10 flushes - and it paid off. I ended up using 2oz of ahh-some in 128oz of water as a maintenance solution when I was struggling. I have a Jacuzzi J-340 tub. My...

Something to think about is lighting. We liked a darker shell color but ended up with Jacuzzi's white/gray /silver marble look as it reflected the light better than the darker color shells. I would think black would absorb the light. Just my two cents.

Ok - so my final numbers are as follows: i stepped it down to first a TA of 60 for a few days and let the numbers settle. Then yesterday I dialed a little more and here's my final result: TA 50-55 PH 7.6 CH 190 FC 5 CYA 14.4 calculate - shooting for 35 Borates 50 Temp 100 This would put my...

I agree with JoyFul Noise and bikeguy - get some Ahh-Some and do purge. When you have Biofilm - you can sanitize all you want and shock and you won't alleviate your issue. What Ahh-Some is, is a surfactant cleaner. It breaks down the "skin" of the biofilm so when the shock / cholorine mixes...

A TA of 50 would put me at -.28 @ 7.6 and -.15 @ 7.8. I know we use 50 as a guideline but is -.28 too low?

If you shock your tub - it would be 24ppm you would need to add. CYA of 60 x .4. You can use 8.5% bleach also. If it's biofilm though - you may need to do an ahh-some purge or two or three depending on what you see.

Okay - so completely flushed tub with Ahh-Some many times (read other threads I have posted) and I balanced the water. my numbers are: FC 5 PH 7.8 TA 80 CH 190 CYA 8.5 calculated target will be 35 Borates 50 (GentleSpa) My PH was right at 7.4-7.6 until I added the Gentle Spa and it spiked to...

Re: Hot Tub Green Water Color Issue After Clean Fill - Help! Ahh-Some Convert! Re-uploaded the pics - hopefully that works. You up are correct on the chlorine demand - I'll be measuring FC and PH everyday for a week or two. I did did speak with Gerry on Saturday as I was refilling my tub...
