    Spa Umbrella input

    While researching for an umbrella to install over our above ground 7’ square spa, I found a Purple Leaf 10’ square, cantilevering unit, with Sunbrella fabric on Amazon. Does anyone have any input as to the quality of this brand. Thanks

    World's Dumbest Spa Plumbing Questions?

    Ok. More intel is always good. If the air control valves are glued then let’s revisit your earlier comment before going through the process of changing the air control valve out, for the five jet. You stated when the tub was filling, the pump was started, just before the water level covered...

    If the turbo jet appears to be operating correctly you may consider swapping the air control valves, on top of the vertical air pipes.

    From what you have provided the piping of both air & water should work. The one change you could make, to optimize the water system, would be to remove the white tee in the water line, located to the right of the two white jets, adding a coupling so the water line is plumbed directly into the...

    Taylor K-2006-C test kit with a Speed Stir, three #9198 sample tubes with stirring bars, a sample sizer and the Taylor K2042 MPS interference remover

    Makes for an efficient testing process as all of the tests can be completed without stopping to clean any equipment.

    Base on the size of the wire and the proximity of the connection point to the inline fuse on the circuit board, you most likely have a bad transformer, pump motor or heater problem. Call a pro.

    TF-100 test kit

    Purchased a Speedstir to use with a Taylor K2006c test kit. It came with a Taylor #9188 tube and a #6101 stirring bar 1". Purchased two additional tubes and stirring bars so a tube & bar could be dedicated to each of three tests requiring their use in the K2006c kit (chlorine, TA, CH). This...

    Target for pH is 6 - 7. My makeup (fill water) is @ about a CH of 90 so the cal - hypo is use to balance the spa to a target CH of 350 (low end of ideal range for CH from PoolMath). After a drain & refill (every 4 months) calcium chloride is used to balance the refill close to the CH target...
