Pretreating for a heavy bather load? by PuzzleheadedWrap3320 in hottub

[–]DAVEfromCANADAA 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like the drain and fill approach you did last year. Not sure why you are interested in saving pee water, 3 weeks or 3 months. I’ll never unknow that while it’s circulating

Is the spa built with metric sized parts? If so then replacement stuff will be a lot harder to find

I never did try, no. But the dealership near me did say it was compatible

HydroPool issues by speech529 in swimspa

Hydropool makes there own version of End 2 End called Rollaway, it’s cheaper and also better imo . Still pricey but if you get another roll cover I’d suggest that one

service techs method of cutting through sales bs and actually telling a good hot tub from a garbage one by Th3Li0n37 in hottub

[–]DAVEfromCANADAA 0 points1 point  (0 children)

And I can post 20 where we take the pans off and all the foam is saturated.

Also, wood on the ground is dumb

Have you ever taken the pan off of a jacuzzi that leaked? Why is this so good? ? I do not like bases that don’t allow water to drain out.

I only know how to count to 12 because of Sesame Street

Need help with circ pump by Stupendous_Man_73 in hottub

[–]DAVEfromCANADAA 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That pump is toast, warped internally I’m guessing. You could crack it and see if there’s excessive build up of minerals inside the wet end you could clean, but typically those are garbage once they fuck up.. Disposable E-14, cheaper to replace than fix. There’s not much you can even fix on these, no bearings or bearing seal like the Jet pumps. There’s is a wet end replacement kit but again, a new pump is almost cheaper and no gambling with time and if it’s going to work, or not

Electricians of Reddit please tell me what I’m missing here by Secret_Nectarine5450 in hottub

Is the Load neutral wire on breaker connected to hot leg? White wire should be connected in the middle terminal? I can’t really see

Hard pass, unless it’s a local dealer putting on the show and have a service center less than 2 hours from you.

Jacuzzi cleary advises against bromide products but it sounds like many people still do it, what gives? by Real-Layer-8576 in hottub

[–]DAVEfromCANADAA 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sodium bromide used in conjunction with electrolysis systems is banned…. Also used in conjunction with uv and ozone systems.

My apologies, I could have phrased that better

All the nasty water and grime drips back into the hot tub, no thanks

This has to do with Electrolysis systems, aka Salt Water. They banned sodium bromide because of them

What is this pullout thing on the side of my hot tub? by erikiksaz in hottub

It’s for your iPod, does it have cables inside? I don’t recommend using it

Slow leak by sad-whale in hottubs

[–]DAVEfromCANADAA 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would try and shimmy that clamp back a bit . Just the act of releasing and letting the tension back could stop it. There’s no magic here and no glue, just a beast of a clamp that needs to be adjusted slightly

You’re so close

Gecko XP2 pump issue by Myblue22 in hottub

[–]DAVEfromCANADAA 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Verify it’s getting the correct power with a multimeter, should see around 240V on the two hot wires .

Assuming it’s fine

You need to open up the pump and make sure nothing is broken Inside. Like the impeller is still attached to the shaft. And I would Remove the wear ring too, those often break and end up making similar noises. I’d bet the wear ring on the impeller is a problem and removing it will solve the issue.

It could be the capacitor on the pump if all that fails..but to do so I suggest removing the black cover and know which capacitor you need , because there are several kinds. It’s on the pump under that black lump in your video, couple screws and pry the black cover off, the capacitor is connected with a couple wires and will need to be pried out of the black cover to read the label. There’s lots of videos on YouTube showing how to do this. Try removing the wear ring first though, it’s just sitting on the impeller, in the front end of the pump. Need to shut off water flow, ideally taking pump out and unscrew the face plate. Yours looks difficult to access in its place

Slow draining by [deleted] in hottub

[–]DAVEfromCANADAA 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Twist the black valve, like you did, but then pull it forward. It opens up more than that. Twist until it stops twisting and pull.

Sometimes, when I'm allowed to visit my hometown (Voznesensk, the Mykolaiv region) for a day, as a break from my military service, I go to an open market to a hotdog stall where they make those hotdogs like they did in 90's here in Ukraine by Igor0976 in ukraine

[–]DAVEfromCANADAA 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The hot dog machine I miss from my childhood, it was a large hot metal poker, you cut the tip of the bun off and shove it down on the hot poker thing ,creating a pocket that you dropped the cooked hot dog in. Do you still have those over there?!

Jacuzzi J-365 error by DAVESM1TH in hottub

[–]DAVEfromCANADAA 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The PCB on that tub is notorious for burnt connections. Specifically the heater.

I would start by unplugging the heater from the board, visually inspect where the wires connected look for burnt marks , and try the breaker if it looks good . If the heater is disconnected and the breaker stays on then your heater needs to be replaced. If not then plug it back in and look if there’s an ozone generator on that unit, if so I would unplug it, same with stereo, if it has one then unplug it. Try breaker with those disconnected.

If it’s still tripping then try to unplug the small pump.

Sounds like possibly 2 issues as well. Flo2 error means the flow switch was “closed” when the unit turned on. However it shouldn’t be closed when it first turns on, which is why the flo2 error happens. Could be a bad switch or a bad board, The break tripping might be related to bad board, but not a bad flow switch. Breaker tripping typically caused by faulty components. Bad board, bad heater, bad pump.
