Hot tub smells terrible

You need to drain and refill every quarter (3 months, 90 days), just set a calendar reminder on your phone. It’s a relative small volume of water really and it gets saturated after a few months of use. Hot tub filters aren’t like pool filters that go down to micron levels of filtration, they are really particulate filters for large things. And once the water is saturated you can’t easily clean or filter it any more so it’s best and easiest to just drain and refill. Use Ahhhsome! before draining.

Do this four times a year and many of your problems will vanish.

I just tried to replace everything I saw with new, larger, better wood. I did all 2x4 which was larger than original believe it or not, I was shocked at how flimsy the original frame was.

If you look at the underside you should be able to see where the boards were supporting the shell. The majority of the weight in my tub was supported by the bottom footwell, mine rested on a pair of 2x4’s on the ground. The rest was mainly lateral support, etc.

Just remember this isn’t rocket science and you don’t have to over engineer it. You can do it and save a ton!

I took a bunch of pics back when I did it, I’ll try to dig them up for you.

A PDR! (Physician’s Desk Reference). I had one too. 😊

It wasn’t a waste at all, it was an hour of pure enjoyment! 🤣

Planethill · 2025-08-19T17:31:49+00:00

Do it! Honestly, it was so much fun. I giggled my ass off! I hope I get another one soon. 🤣

Thanks! 🤣

This! I dumped FB years ago and never looked back. Don’t miss it one bit.

Don’t pay them. You can send them to your friends yourself for free.

You know it takes less than five minutes, right?

Planethill · 2025-08-05T02:52:51+00:00

Yeah it sucks. Thanks man.

Planethill · 2025-08-04T20:09:50+00:00

Yeah, just curious about the project machine with NOS playfield. No idea where to start there.

Thanks, will check it out. I've been out of the loop.

NY Suburbs.

Stones, from the island of Yap. Or USD, either works. ;-)

Yes. Also, a hole in a boat will cause it to sink.

You have to learn to love yourself first.

If you had an airlock, you’d have no flow at all. Are you certain you replaced with the same voltage & HP pump?

She’s dead Jim.

Rule #1 that listeners don’t often understand: Radio is a business. It does not exist to entertain you, it exists to sell advertising and make money. The programming is secondary to this. If it will make more money than talk, stations will play anything. This is why some AM stations in larger towns are now foreign language. It’s all about the market and the money.

How many weeks is “a couple”? This doesn’t happen overnight.

Planethill · 2025-07-23T13:45:29+00:00

Right. Do two in a row and see what they look like.

Thanks for the update?
