Hi guys, been a long time pool school member here. And have learned a lot.
I recently bought a used hot tub from a client because he upgraded his due to the old one having a cracked water filter base/housing.
My problem is I’ve had one spa repair guy come and and couldn’t do anything because they didn’t sell this type of filter base anymore because it has three outlets...Unlike how the new ones have two.
my question is why can’t I just cut this old one out and install a new filter housing that has similar dimensions at the top that is roughly 6inches and plumb two of the outlets into one? I’ve done sprinkler & pool plumbing but not hot tub before. The hot tub is a Renew Image 631 Blue Acrylic - IMSB63100.
if anyone has any comments or questions please reach out. I will attach pictures etc, If I’m in the wrong thread just transfer it over.
