    Filter pressure in pool vs spa

    Hello, I have an inground pool with an associated spa. I am wondering if anyone has ever experienced the filter pressure tripling when the spa is isolated?

    Spa Size

    We just broke ground and are now under construction! We decided on a 10ft diameter spa.... it looks massive :oops:. Is this too big? What is the average size spa? How many people can we expect to fit in a 10ft round spa? TIA

    Hi, I lost a bunch of tiles in our attached spa last year during the winter. I’d like to get the spa re-tiled. I’m having a hard time finding someone. Any recommendations on someone that can replace the tile on an attached pool spa in the Philly area ? Thanks!

    Misplaced Spa Calculations For Reducing Chlorine Using Hydrogen Peroxide

    I seemed to have misplaced my once received from the forum, guidelines on how much Hydrogen Peroxide to use in my spa to reduce chlorine to a tolerable level around 3-5ppm.

    Hello everyone, I recently bought a house that has an inground spa/pool. The spa, when the pump is on spills over into the pool. It came with a solar heating thing, and I was able to fix that (replaced leaky pipe on solar line), but after fixing it, the hot tub doesn't seem to be getting hot...

    Hi, My brother has just bought an Intex inflatable pureSpa. 795 litres. As the family “pool guy”, he asked me how long he should run the filter for. It’s a cartridge filter. I checked the manual and it does not mention an optimum running time, only to clean the filter every few weeks...
