I currently have a Caldera Utopia Geneva that is getting some age on it. It's been a great hot tub, and I have always figured if we ever replaced it, it would be with the same thing. However, I thought I would see what else is out there, because who knows, there might be something that I like...

Last week our hot tub was worked on (by a real technician, not us). It had been tripping the breaker, so he replaced the heater. Heated fine, issue fixed, but circulation was low (which has been happening occasionally lately). Hubby knows his way around a pump so a few days ago, he takes it...

I have a 2001 Caldera Geneva Utopia serious spa, and the board has gone out in it. I don't really want to replace it just yet (the actual hot tub, that is)......... Pool store says $1000.00 to replace and fix it. My husband is pretty handy,and could fix it himself, if I could get my hands on...

Yes! Thanks leebo!

Okay, you guys got me covered on my drops. As soon as I read R-0871 I was like DUH! The cylinder I am wanting to replace is the one you use to do the drop test. Sorry. Creating a summer league softball schedule has my brain completely fried today.

I need to order some new drops for my FAS-DPD test, but I forgot to check the numbers on the bottles before I left for work this morning, and I want to make sure I get the right stuff :). I need the drops. Also, a new little test container wouldn't hurt too, so if anyone knows what its part...

Well, I thought I was doing a good job keeping the water balanced and testing and all of that. Guess not! I will have to spend this slow workday refreshing and seeing if I have gotten lazy and forgotten something.

I am wondering what is the best product to get rid of scale and/or prevent it in a hot tub. I use Leisure time Defender weekly, but seems like we still have some scale build up going on in the hot tub. Thanks :)

HUGE thank you!!!

HUGE thank you!!!

By the way, the whole white thing needs replaced. It broke where it threads into the filter

I need to know what to order, and quickly :). This is the part where the water return hose comes out of the filter on my Hayward Voyager Pro. And, it broke. It did feed to a Pool Frog system (or whatever you call that thing). I never used the Pool Frog since I use the TFP method. So, I just...

Found my bigger tube last night. Which reads up (down?) to 20. My guess is my CYA is at 15 after using it. Who knows where it went?????

Will do!

I MAY already have that tube. I accidentally bought one that was huge last year. And, I have a large bottle of the r-0013. So I will have to see if I kept that tube. Maybe it will work.

How would I find out about bacteria? Chlorine is staying in the pool just as well as it did last year (adding bleach every other day). Will try to get full test results asap, may not be today though. I have a crazy schedule through Monday :)

Another dumb question. How can I see exactly where my CYA is, since my tube only reads up to (down to???) 30? I just know at 30 (the top of my tube) the water still clear. So I can see if it is completely gone or just lowered? Also, my pool seems to still be holding chlorine okay. Just...

Thanks! Never noticed that the Pool Calculator did that. :)

I opened my pool a few weeks ago (It was a breeze by the way, thanks to TFP). Upon opening, my CYA was right around 35. And, I tested it a week later, just to be sure. Still at 35. I did my monthly CYA test last night, and the water in the tube was clear as can be when the water reached the...

Orrrr I wonder if it would be okay to keep this stuff on hand for when the local stores are low or out of bleach?

Hmmm. Does it matter if it's an above ground pool? I'm intrigued by this stuff. I work in a small town and live in the middle of the country. The thought of having this delivered to my door sounds oh-so-appealing. Instead of buying the local stores out, or having to make an hour long...

THanks guys!

Hi! I was wondering if anyone could tell me the number for the CYA view tube that would have come with the Taylor I-care test kit? I cracked mine, and ordered a new one, but it came and was huge. Don't want to make that mistake again! I just need the little one. Thanks

Well, I passed the overnight FC test this morning. And tonight was the first night there was no green tint at all in the filter cartridge. Honestly, I was busy and didn't get to pull it an clean it on Saturday though. And CYA is still showing 40! So, all and all, I'm a happy camper!

Electric is back on, and I am back in business. But guess what. It was two weeks ago when I took my CYA test last (when it read pushing 60). I checked it this morning and it read 40. I checked it 3 times to be sure. I know we have done a lot of vac. to waste lately (the suction is so much...

Well go figure... We had a storm with 3.5 inches of rain early this morning and our power went out ever since. Which means no filter running. My fc was down from 26 to 23. Back to it....hope power is back soon

Thanks so much everyone for taking the time to post. I appreciate each and everyone of you! I have been holding at 26 FC since about 7:30 tonight. HOPE I'm still there tomorrow when I wake up!

Good thought! Off to do that now!
