spa

I purchased a house at the beginning of August that came with a 2005 Sundance Majesta Hot Tub (Sentry Controller 850 LCD 6600-098 Rev D) I kept it around 90F for the summer until a few weeks ago when I increased the setting to 100F, but the temperature never got over 95F. The heat indicator...

I have a hot tub with Gecko S Class circuit board. When I went to heat up the tub earlier, started smelling burning smell and started seeing smoke. I shut off power immediately! A few hours later I opened the circuit board box and found that one of the cables from heater burned as well as where...

Hi. My spa light went out and I attempted to replace the T4 100W 120V halogen bulb. Not hard to do , except that the ceramic (?) base that the T4's prongs insert into has completed disintegrated. Any thoughts on what my options are? Has anyone ever done a in-enclosure repair? I am hesitant to. A...

Hi all, We recently bought a house that came with a hot tub and above ground pool. Thanks to this site, I got the chemistry on both balanced beautifully!!! Unfortunately, I'm now having a different issue with the spa I'm hoping you can help with. Basically, it won't heat up. The error code on...

I have rapidly reach the limits of my competence. I’m a new pool and hot tub owner (both came with the house I purchased in April). I have not touched the hot tub until the last several days. The previous owner said something was wrong with some of the jets but didn’t know and didn’t want to fix...

I am building a new custom hot tub and want to make sure what the builder is telling me is accurate. I greatly appreciate any help and I am willing to donate to the forum for assistance. I live in Colorado and would like to be able to use the hot tub year round at 104 degrees. The average high...

Good morning. i recently purchased a home and have researched to find that I have a 1996 Hydro Air Spa that is connected to my pool. The suction covers at the base of the spa are missing. I have been researching to determine if any new covers would work, but have not had any luck. So I...

I'm planning on starting the construction of a pool with flush spa during the upcoming weeks. The current plan is to use a single Intellifo3 pump and Intellichlor SWG for the water circulation/chlorination. The attached diagram shows the planned pool/spa piping and valve diagram. One of the...

I am redoing my spa plumping. Previous installation the air pipes where so high up, they had to make 2" step around the spa to hide the air piping. Since I am remodeling, I am thinking of putting air pipes below water pipes. Instructions says the air connections (spigot) should be facing up. I...

Hi there! Our equipment is getting installed and had a question about the blower. It’s mounted to our house. Is this how you would do it or would you have to free standing? Just curious how much noise we will experience inside the house from it being on the wall? Thanks!

To my knowledge the spa blower at house has not worked in awhile. Replaced spa blower and blower powers on but after a few minutes shuts off. I believe the air line and air injectors in bottom of spa are clogged. My question… is there a way to get the air injectors cover/top off? It...

Hi there! We are currently building our pool and they are setting the flagstone for our three spillways. Can you tell me: - What is the ideal overhang amount would be? - Should the spillway be flat/level, angled towards the pool or angled towards the spa/hot tub? Any other advice is...

Hello All, I've been reading this forum for advice as we have run into issues with our PB and have had to do the plumbing on our own. The SPA is fiberglass with no spillover, a Latham Royal Spa. It's pre-plumbed with the 2 loops top and bottom with 4 x air/water body each (8 total), 2 main...

Last October we had a small in ground pool and spa installed. They are both from fiberglass shells from Latham, the Milan and the Royal. The plumbing of the two pools are completely separated, each have their own pump, heater, filter, etc. Our issue is with the Royal. Its roughly 10’ square...

In about 2 weeks we should have our 375 gallon hot tub finally in place, and on the advice of this this forum and r/hottub I went ahead and got the Taylor test kit and just tested my fill water last night, and learned some more things about the wonderful limestone aquifers the ground source...

My spa doesn’t have a dedicated blower. Instead there seems to be an air intake pipe that emits gargling sounds when I set my system in spa mode. That pipe is near the pool equipment, which is about 30 feet from where the spa is. When I turn on the spa mode, I hear the pump ramp up, and the...

Hi, My Pentair intellivalve actuator is not switching to Auto mode.i shows red light and and nothing happens when I press the mode button. This is causing water overflow from the pool and not heat up properly when spa is turned on. Have any of you faced this issue and is there anything I can do...

SOLVED: Venturi tees are restrictive https://www.troublefreepool.com/threads/solved-venturi-tees-are-restrictive-heater-bypass-next.269119/post-2358505 TLDR: At 1250 and 3450 RPM, I get 30 and 60 GPM in Spa mode (6 returns), but 45 and 105 GPM in Pool mode (3 returns), measured via a FlowVis...

New pool owner- trying to figure out how this timer works?? It goes to inground spa pump. At what time does it trip? On/off.

I've had my pool-spa for 20+ years. I use the spa almost every night. I switched over to an intelliflo pump, controller 5 years ago. It's worked great except for the alexa function that disengages for some reason after it's added as a skill. In the last 6 months, the pump will sometimes...

Hi All, Kindly asking for guidance on proper gas line pipe sizing. We have a fire pit (medium sized), 42-inch grill and a spa. Also have a Pentair 400. All propane based. Per our paperwork, they mention 125ft for a gas line. I apologize for not providing important details to better answer my...

My spa is about 2 years old. I was recently having trouble maintaining a chlorine level so I purchased Ahh-some and used it twice. Lots of foam but just a little biofilm. I drained and refilled it. Added calcium chloride to get CH to 140. Added baking soda to get TA to 70 which increased Ph...

We broke ground in February 2022 and construction was completed in August. Who knew that editing a 2 minute video would take almost as long! I designed the pool myself using Pool Studio then created the construction plans for the Pool Builder. Acting as my own GC, I sub-contracted out all the...

Wondering if anyone has any ideas here. Maybe very unique problem. Brand new pool spa, 16,000 gal, salt, pebble, 6 jet spa, single 1.5HP Superflow pump, all Pentair equipment. When switching on the spa, the valves rotate the jets start pushing out water and some air. After some amount of time...

Hello everyone, I have an infinity spa in my pool that is getting the outside tile redone. In order for this to be done they have drained the spa so water spill over does not interfere with the process. My question and what is worrying me: How long is it safe for the exposed white plaster to...

New pool owner. Pool started Oct 2020 filled May 2021. We have just enough dampness in the yard on the spa side to cause that side of the pool to raise up due to the clay expanding. The pool builder thinks the dampness is coming from something other than the pool. I’m assuming the new build...

Hey Guys, I'm not a pool professional but I do hope some of you might be willing to chime in with some much-needed guidance. I'm building a house in South Carolina and am in shock as to what they want for gunite there. I've contacted a number of companies and the numbers I'm getting for a...

Is there a way to create a circuit in Screenlogic that mimics the "Spa" circuit, but just has a lower pump rpm? Right now my Spa setting sets the jets to 3450 rpm and has lots of bubbles in the spa. Sometimes I'd like to keep the heat going and not have the bubbles. Ideally, I would create some...

I need to replace my 20 year old spa jets. One has come apart, and the others don’t spin. I assumed you take them out by unscrewing the knurled ring, but the are stuck and I’m afraid I will break something if I keep at it. Any help appreciated. Thanks!

Hi, I’ve been following this website for a good year or so and finally opened up the pool myself this year. We bought our house that had this pool with spillover spa about 3-4 years ago. The heater went the first year and finally just got it replaced this year. I know there’s a way to heat the...
