    Total Dissolved Solids going up - Hot Springs salt system

    What pump are you using there? And where are you pumping out to? I'd have to pump the water up and into the house to a drain. Can the pump do that? (I'm a super newbie here...)

    Total Dissolved Solids going up - Hot Springs salt system

    Thanks for responding! I'm told the spa displays TDS. And the salt test strip shows salt as a little low. That makes me think there's non-salt factors making the TDS measure high.

    Total Dissolved Solids going up - Hot Springs salt system

    Thank you for responding. I'm measuring TDS using the saltwater system display itself and salt test strips from the dealer. The salt test strips indicate between 750 and 1000 ppm. The saltwater system indicator is just a colored bar on the electronic display that doesn't show actual numbers...

    Saltwater spa - filter cleaning ..

    Thanks for the reply cowboycasey. I used filter cleaner again this week on one of them. I rinsed (and rinsed and rinsed) with a high pressure sprayer. I also just soaked it in plain water, changing the water twice. I'm going back out to my cabin tomorrow and will see how it goes this time. The...

    Saltwater spa - filter cleaning ..

    Hello all.. I have a new spa with a saltwater system. The first time I cleaned one of the filters with a filter cleaner (with much rinsing), it bumped the salt up over the high threshold and the saltwater system shut itself down. Had to drain and start over to get the salt down. When I cleaned...
