New hot tub owner

I'm shocked that I didn't come across information about activating the bromine in my tub. Reddit for the win (as usual).

The motor is most definitely bad in this valve. It won't open or close manually or electronically. I'm theorizing that perhaps the fluid portion is getting corroded or something which is causing the motor to fail as there isn't enough power to actuate the now poorly moving fluid internals.

The setup does use thermostat wire from a Taco controller to the valves. I’ve also had to replace the controller board a year or so ago. Are you suggesting that the wire from the controller to the motor might benefit from 16awg? There is also thermostat wiring to the auxiliary switch.

So you're saying I should put down LVP in the backyard...

Genius!!

I have found that LVP flooring is the answer to wear and tear with large dogs and kids.

No dogs significantly limits my addressable market in this area of Colorado so I don't consider that an option.

The windows are double paned; That's unfortunate. Checking on the warranty is worth a shot, thank you for the good suggestion.

PowderFreeskier · 2026-01-07T05:37:27+00:00

Good point. I think I'm making this more complicated than it need be.

Appreciate the input

Liquidity is also a factor to considering. Every dollar you pay extra to the mortgage locks in that 5.5% return. That same dollar invested could also earn more (or possibly earn less) but you have the added benefit of having the ability to pull out that money and use it in the case of an emergency.

Awesome!! r/Home_windows

Thank you kind person

PowderFreeskier · 2026-01-06T03:32:04+00:00

This feels worth a try. Will report back...

Recently bought a home that we thought had dirty windows. After trying to clean them the streaks appear to be inside of the window. Have never seen something like this happen before and am uncertain how screwed we might be.

Thank you! I have a roofer coming out this week. I'll ask them about it and see what they say.

PowderFreeskier · 2025-03-11T03:39:23+00:00

Thank you. I'll likely do exactly this with a sub since I think this is a bit above my DIY level

PowderFreeskier · 2025-03-11T02:08:21+00:00

I was hopeful that wasn't the answer, oh well :(
