Hi, I wonder if someone can identify what type of light incl cover I likely have in my old inground spa. The spa may be from 90s I have attached the picture of the spa which I have recently renovated/repainted. Unfortunately I dont have a better picture of the light until I drain water in next...

does it mean that above 1hp generally is not recommended. or if unsure, beterr go slightly less ie .75hp? though 1.25hp should not provide too much more pressure i would hope so. The Badu Spec Super 90/350 has 350l/m flow and has been removed from a similar old inground spa togehter with the...

th thanks, also on the pump usage, i think to maintain temperature will need to run both the heater and the pump more often then just that. so in the long term it may pay off getting a pump under 1hp. for now im going to test 1.25hp later this evening...

i meant not bursting the pipe but rapture one of the older fittings under the pool. they will be likely oover 15 years old. the pump is 1.5hp Paramount but ive sold it as I thought it was too strong. Now I have this Spec Badu 90/350 series self priming 1.25hp. i havent connected it yet but...

thanks for bringing this into my attention. i think its fine. i have actually two of those but slightly different models. i purchased a 2nd one in better condtion and pressure gauge working however my original FPI has a plastic pipe and a button with a spring at the bottom. see the top filter on...

thanks for sharing. so yes that nozzle is about 10mm at the front and get narrower inside i think. really hard to measure now. i also got this 1.25hp Badu pump which i bought cheap with a spare filter. aside what you may recommend based on so far info, do you think i would risk anything (pipe...

th thanks for getting back. there is def. more technical info that i did not consider. yes pipes are 40mm and one single pipe going to the pump. it will bend at 90degree 2-3 times what i can see. The pump will then push the water up approx 60cm high and then into the heater. i have unscrewed...

i guess that would be ideal but variable speed pump are a couple of times more expensive. Tevoli or Whirlpool pumps single speed are v. affordable.

Hi, I have this old type inground spa as per photo attached. It is 2600L and has 4 jets. Pipes in the system are 40mm. Would be grateful for some opinions and pros and cons of having less or more powerful pump. The pump would sit approx 40-50cm above water level, 3m away from the spa. I am...

@DavidLast i owe you some update. after other unsuccesful attempts i have used some pump and connectected to inlet in the pool . i was expecting to see the water in the system or in the pump but instead there was big resistance. then i tested shorter pipe section , unscrewed the pipe from the...

thanks will let update once i get a chance to check the non return valve

no the only knob is on top of the lid which you unscrew first and then lift the lid, however where you suggested there may be one, there is a bulge similar to where the pressure gauge is installed. So this seems like an optional thing where a small knob could be installed (see pic). The o-ring...

we've tried both with the cartridge lid open and closed but as there is hardly any water at its bottom i guess i doesnt matter. i did pull out the pump and tested it. i primed it from the top (poured water into a connected pipe) and inlet pump was submerged in a plastic fish container. once i...

hello there, where we have recently moved in there is an old inground spa approx 3000L, the previous owner removed the pump. I got a second hand 1.5hp Paramount pump. It does nothave a skimmer so it makes priming more difficult. Additionally the whole pump, heater, and cartridge filter are...
