Our heat pump takes about 4 hrs to heat up the spa when water temps are in the 50s so we have to plan ahead hahaha My wife doesn't like being out in the cold much at all so unless the kids are using the spa it doesn't get used after October, I can't wait for summer to get here I'm ready to...

Hi sorry for the late reply it's been a while since I have logged in. 1. yes, we love it but when the spa bubbles are on water tends to splash out more without an actual edge (we don't use the bubbles often anyway cause it is to loud haha) 2. no issues with maintenance so far, grout still...

I use Water Based Deck-o-Seal Spray it on with a hand pump bottle sprayer. I always spray down my coping and stone with freshwater before hand and turn off my pumps before applying sealer.

i have used it on my patio and love the stuff. I rolled on one coat It does wear over time and prob should be applied at least once a year to stay looking fresh imo before deck-o-grip after deck-o-grip

did you get your leak fixed?? I dealt with a small leak in our spa a few times, finally after they resealed around the air jets all was good. I'm not thrilled with the grey sealing agent they used on my pebble tec but nobody notices it but me. It doesn't look horrible but sort of like a small...

Re: Warning if you have a newish Jandy Stealth Pump (SPHM2.0 thanks, i'm def keeping an eye on my pump. It "sounds" normal but you're right it might fail sooner because it was allowed to run dry. I have ~30 months left on my warranty thank goodness

There is an issue with the lid suddenly failing allowing the pump to run dry here's my story.... I have noticed that over the last few weeks my Pump was taking in a lot of air from what appeared to be lid. Even after resetting the lid and using pluming grease I seemed to still have a lot of...

tell me about it, staring at our crystal clear water all winter has just been a tease.... one of the kids actually jumped in last weekend thinking since it felt good outside the water would be decent (he was shocked to say the least) hahaha

My guess is the pumps will just run the duration of the cold spell as intended. My wife sort of freaked out also when she saw our water descents running with the power switch off hahaha she woke me up to ask if it was normal and I said I sure hope so :)

thanks for the info, and your very right it's probably not likely. Rather to be safe than sorry i still left mine partially open so there will be some flow if the pumps kick on.

Yes freedom flask is what I'm referring to, see you found it :)

A freedom pouch is always popular at my party's hahaha (google it)

I have an additional question to add. If the freeze protect turns on pumps and stuff should water feature valves be in the open position so that water is moving through the pipes? Is it possible to have a closed section freeze when the rest of the system is circulating (e.g. Tanning ledge...

Wow! Thanks for sharing with us. Good luck getting it resolved with your pb

Is your spa raised from the pool? If the Spa drain is open even slightly the water will push through the system into the pool when the pumps are all off, so i would start with that. Make sure your Spa Drain is fully closed and the valve isn't leaking if it is in fact closed.

- get as much decking as you can afford, I did and I love it - I would have put my LED spa light facing away from my house like my Pool LED lights, at night my spa looks like a headlight - I would have put fiber lights in my 3' waterfall descents - I would have put an electrical outlet on...

Hi there :)

awwwwwww, congrats

awesome, i love it

hahaha, i expect many more mice and frogs, but i dread the day i find a snake. I REALLY hope i don't find a baby possum like my brother did once YUCK I have one of those overspill grates that spills out about 20 feet on the side of my yard that's all i need i imagine but we'll see. Water is...

I’m sure this is overkill but I add shock every time I find a mouse in my skimmer. It’s only happened 2x so far and once was yesterday morning after all the raining stopped. I figured my pool was low on CL from spilling over all day Saturday due to the rain anyway. Never seen my pool so...

i love the decking choice, your pool looks awesome can't wait to see it complete.

don't sweat it arvven, after about a week or two of testing daily it will come easy as pie. For me the hardest part was keeping logs of my pool so that i could see behavior trends once switching to salt. I created this spreadsheet below to help me track my pool maintenance. I try and test...

I REALLY think a razor blade and some WD-40 to soften the adhesive would be less risk at damaging the surface than the heat gun would. I've used a razor blade on cherry wood furniture before to get up stickers without a single scratch, just go at it with the right angle and you're good to go...

have you tried using a really sharp razor blade to gently scrap it off?

hahaha, i'm an engineer so with my background i tend to follow written instructions a little to close :) In college i was also a play “scientist” at Abbott Laboratories running tons clinical chemistry control studies using reagents for an R&D group building a new Blood Analyzer, that was a ton...

yea, I'm using the hard stuff hahaha no safety acid here. And the 1st few times i poured it in i made the mistake of catching a small wiff of the stuff too, i hear most people do, it's not fun. my PH responds to the acid fine, but after a few days I'm needing more to being it down from 7.8+...

WOW!!! that is beyond awesome... i gained 10lbs just looking at that outdoor cooking setup :)

all is wonderful, i love the salt setup and the water feels GREAT. when we switched to salt the PB didn't tell me i needed to drop my TA from ~120 to the suggested 60~90 when using a swcg but I figured that out with the help of this fourm and other online reading. It's nice not having to...
