After looking at pics of efflorescence it does look close. Will the muriatic acid work for efflorescence? Thanks

The stains on the stone are around the waterfall feature and would get wet. The tile stain is above the water line. However, this is an underground hot tub (though we never heat it). So any wind can kick the water above the "waterline".

These stains occurred on after I installed my SWG. I think I was rambunctious and ran the SWG longer than needed per day... Any products to help remove? Thanks

Sorry if this has been answered but I was unable to find a topic specific to the below: Any ideas on connecting the intex hose to a threaded PVC? I see many posted on connecting PVC to the Intex system but not about how to connect the Intex hose to an existing PVC system. Thanks

That is not a bad idea. But I had to replace my sand filter so I went ahead any ordered a small sand filter and pump combo.

Since this is a waterfall pump would a check valve on the outlet side be able to engage since any reverse flow would be air and not water? If this is an issue then the only solution would be to put the check valve close where it Ts off of the main so there is enough water to pull the check...

Got to be solid advise if from a Clemson man...! You are close enough to the right Orange and right Tigers, AUBURN!

Thank you for the reply! Would it be better to have the check valves on the inlet side or outlet side of each pump?

I agree that a two speed is a better setup. However, buying a two speed pump is more expensive than a small filter/pump combo. Plus, I would still need to purchase a filter. A new two speed and filter is about $900 if I size the filter for the high speed. If I size the filter for the low...

VS Pump is not in the budget... I cannot get close because of concrete work. The pumps would be close to each other. I want the new filter to be sized with the new pump. Essentially I am completely separating the system as follows: 2HP Pump to Heater to Jets 1/2HP Pump/Filter System to...

Thank you! We have the same concern regarding running the pumps at the same time. Not that I am going to do this but...I thought about running a small slip line from the 2HP pump outlet to between the small pump and the small pumps check valve. This would supply water so the pump does not run...

Sorry, I am thinking about throttling instead of two speed. But how about the below questions: Can I run a 2HP pump with a small gravity fed pump on the same inlet line (I am thinking a check valve would be necessary)? What happens if someone accidentally turns both pumps on? Assuming we...

Thanks, I appreciate the quick reply! Here is the thing, I have to replace the sand filter. It would be less expensive if I can get a smaller filter/pump that is sized right as opposed to replacing the working pump with a two speed and still having to buy a sand filter. Plus, I am not a fan...

Hi! I recently purchased a home that came with an in-ground spa: 1500 Gallons A small two feet tall 30 GPM Waterfall (that is currently being blasted at over 100GPM) Jets and Blower Hayward Heater 24" Hayward Sand Filter (filter is cracked and needs to be replaced) 2HP Motor (way, way...
