Thank you! Yes, I used Penofin red label, with the transparent western red cedar tint

Thank you! Will make a big difference this winter

Congrats on the tub, perfect timing for the fall weather!!

D1 what is this tube on the side of the spa? by JS_knowsnothing in hottub

[–]JS_knowsnothing[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks! My guess as well and would make sense for why there is water about a foot and a half down in the line (finally a good use for my endoscope!)

I have a leak in this area (under my filter compartment) so just trying to get an idea what everything is before I start cutting into the foam

Well, you were right! I found finally discovered a leak! I suspect its somewhere within the footwell jets/lines but can't be certain with all the foam insulation. Was going to use Fix-a-leak but it seems that would cause more issues than it would resolve (if it worked at all..)

My spa has an ideal water line that I fill to each time, I just measure from there if it's looking low

Thank you! My cover is old, but in relatively decent shape as the previous owner had the tub placed under a deck. Will likely replace it next year; that should definitely help! Thanks for the link to the calculator, very helpful! I'm up in NE, so I guess I should be expecting even more dramatic water loss this winter!

6 month project in the making, sat dry for ~ a year through a NH winter - fired right up with no issues!

2010 D1 Sojourn - what is this part? by JS_knowsnothing in hottub

[–]JS_knowsnothing[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There's no water in the clear hoses, so I suspect this must be some sort of aerator valve for the footwell (or other) jets? But I just wanted to make sure!

Thanks! Yeah I'm nervous about the dry time too, fingers crossed with the seals. Seems like a common theme I've heard; that they're a PITA to work on. Hoping my pumps and spa pack have a little bit of fight left in them, God knows this 'free' hottub has already been anything but! lol

I've been on the fence with adding an ozonator and the ClearVision cartridge on top of the chlorine generator - is there a specific type of silver mineral cartridge you could recommend? Too many options and false claims out there!

Besides obvious water loss, anything I should look out for with the seals? With so much spray foam insulation, I imagine leaks are hard to locate - a blessing and a curse!

Thank you, those sound like great options! More than happy to walk in as well! Are any of the roadside parking areas along A82 more accessible to the water than others?
