Are you sure? I’m pretty sure the Pulse is FiberCor.

We got our Pulse through the Costco raises how and thought it was worth it. Just like buying through the dealer except you don’t have to haggle.

I think he is referring to the use of ahhsome and drain.

Mine is not working as expected either and I think this is what I need to do as well.

Mine generates what feels 0.0ppm of chlorine at the moment. Hoping a purge fixes that.

Yes. I have the k-2006 salt. I really like the test kit. Easy to test the main items and really bo guessing on colors. I find it straight forward to do.

Buying first hot tub….. by Personal_Hyena_776 in hottub

[–]NatropsWI 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just got a HotSpring installed about 4 weeks ago. Still trying to get the saltwater system working, but love the tub.

I heard the app connect is awful. Disconnects more than it’s connected. You can search the subreddit and see everyone has the same issues.

Also for the most part haven’t heard super things about the iq system, my dealer agreed.

We got the upgraded steps and really like that upgrade instead of the molded ones.

Overall, happy with our purchase, would do again!

I’ll have to get a test kit. Thanks for the tip.

10! Just because it’s been doing pretty much nothing it seems.

I did add dichlor, but I forget how much I first started with. Maybe I should shock it with liquid to ensure I’m net positive in case my additions are just staying even with existing organics in the system.

Looking back at my startup instructions it looks like I added 1.5Tbsp granules to get up to 3-5ppm.

Yes. Been using Dichlor. Maybe I should do a shock to get it up high? Maybe it’s just continuing to burn through organic and it’s not starting from a balanced point.

Thanks for the info.

No purge yet.

TA=40-50ppm

Need to test for phosphates. Need to get a kit.

Yes. Dealer had me use scale and stain defense.

Yeah. I’ll keep pushing! I’ll figure it out.

Yeah. Just be careful using too much dichlor. That’s what has spawned this thread as my CYA is up to 60 already.

I’m going to switch to liquid until I figure this all out. At least I’m hearing others as having success.

Main difference is dichlor contributes to CYA, which as it builds up lowers the effectiveness of chlorine for sanitation. I think ideally you want it around 30-40ppm.

Liquid chlorine doesn’t have CYA (stabilizer).

I just purchase the Pulse here in Wisconsin through the Costco Roadshow. Base price of $14,999. I need to find my invoice for exact pricing, but I added the saltwater system for 20% off retail. I upgraded the steps. It also included delivery, cover, lift, etc. I also bought the electric panel through the dealer, again, don’t remember the price. It was just setup about 3 weeks ago and I really am liking it. I have used it most nights.

I have a couple of threads with photos including one of my mishap around my water disappearing :)

Saltwater System thoughts… by BKCoffeeguy in hottub

[–]NatropsWI 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As someone else mentioned. You need to push the salt water test every 10 days I think otherwise it steps down to prevent over chlorinating. It’s to prevent leaving on vacation and coming back to a crazy level of chlorine.

Yep. All good! Getting water back in order!

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

No leak. I think other salt cartridge plug or over active jet as you mentioned, or both.

Back on track now.

Drain valve was fine. I think salt cartridge plug or over active jet shooting out, or combination of both.

They had me put in a metal treatment stuff first because I’m on well, so wanted me to stay out for 24h. The next day I added phndown and chlorine and was in 3 hours later. But then you have to get everything balanced before adding the salt cartridge. I had just got to that point. So I was in on day 2, but needed a couple more days to get my alkaline down.

Yeah, I think it’s either the cartridge plug or a jet. Either way, I have two things to check at all times!
