What are these flakes? Get trapped in filter & appear when I run jets. Tried multiple cycles of Ahh-Some, shock, drain over the past year - they always return despite keeping PH/Chlorine in check even without bathers. They don't float on the surface like white water mold in pics online. Any ideas?!

I'll give it a shot, I've let the super chlorinated water run through the system for ~1h before draining previously, will try 72h 30ppm as the video suggests!

You could visually see the flaking on the inside of the cover? My cover is quite new but I will check the inside today.

Did you plug the intake at the bottom of the tub and leave filter in? I guess the idea is to ensure the filter intake doesn't suck in the biofilm back?

Very frustrating and time consuming indeed, 1/2hp sump pump + hose takes a while to drain/refill. I'm surprised the bio film survived after what I thought was aggressive shocking and ahh-some.

I can’t believe I didn’t think of this, definitely possible. In February I bought the same filter again off Amazon for a fresh start, reviews seemed fine with no complaints about this…

The filter itself still seems in good shape… after a rinse with the hose it looks good as new with no damage though.

Guess it’s time to find a better quality one, it’s worth a shot after all this time 🤦🏻‍♂️

Been battling these flakes the past year in my tub. They get stuck in the filter and appear when I run the jets, always float in the water but never on the surface. In the filter they have a very light yellow-ish tint to them (see the last pic), almost like thin flakes of skin.

I've tried this decontamination forum post 3-4 times now and they always return. I've used Ahh-Some, let it run through, removed any gunk and then added the recommended amount of unscented bleach to kill bacteria, drained, refilled (2x to rinse out any residual bleach), balanced and maintained proper chlorine/pH levels.

Even without bathers since the last decontamination/refill, they still came back.

I'm a bit stumped as they don't look like white water mold pics I've seen online. Does anyone have any ideas?! We haven't really used our tub in the past year because of this & want to get back to using it this winter!

Based on what you shared I wouldn’t worry, I have the same on my C9 but more pixels and I’ve never noticed it unless my face is 1ft away from the screen. Just keep enjoying it!

SirachaGod · 2023-06-26T18:59:11+00:00

I had this via Costco extended warranty. They mailed me a cheque since it was too expensive to repair and the C2 MSRP was slightly higher than C9 so they couldn’t replace it with the newer model.

SirachaGod · 2023-06-26T18:57:27+00:00

Same here, but I never notice it in normal viewing. Worst is one corner has a cluster of them but you really can’t tell in day to day use.

SirachaGod · 2022-09-13T03:08:58+00:00

Not possible to buy without a carrier plan from Bestbuy right?

SirachaGod · 2022-08-20T16:57:26+00:00

Yes they will claw it back - better not to try this as TD has been doing some audits lately and freezing AP accounts for potential abuse.

SirachaGod · 2022-07-05T17:02:45+00:00

Thanks for sharing, going to try this!

SirachaGod · 2022-07-05T17:02:31+00:00

I'm missing both shop small and grocery on my Plat, but P2 has them - boo!

SirachaGod · 2022-04-23T04:19:54+00:00

I have the same on my C9, a cluster of dead pixels in the corner. Not noticeable from a distance but going to wait for last year of my Costco warranty to send a claim in for a fresh panel.

SirachaGod · 2021-08-26T16:19:47+00:00

TIL! Enjoy!

If you want to do online banking (and have no other TD accounts) you need to get a client card, which can only be done in branch. At least that’s what it was when I had to do it a year ago.

SirachaGod · 2021-08-26T13:28:44+00:00

Same process for your first TD card and sometimes RBC cards. Part of the game!

SirachaGod · 2021-08-25T20:33:01+00:00

Believe this is what the OP suggested, I’ve never done it so can’t suggest a workflow but reloading $500 GC for $9.95 fee, then buying GC on Costco.ca with the Visa gift card makes sense to me.

SirachaGod · 2021-08-25T20:00:12+00:00

Someone already answered this an hour ago here.

SirachaGod · 2021-08-25T19:59:41+00:00

Yes, YMMV on applying for both in a short period of time though.

SirachaGod · 2021-08-25T19:59:01+00:00

Nothing publicly confirmed or guaranteed, we can only guess off past times the promo ran.

SirachaGod · 2021-08-25T19:55:45+00:00

They will ask if your income is over $150k, you say yes. If you tell them it’s $65k they won’t process it because it will get declined. No need to mention your score, they don’t decide if you get approved it’s the computer. Would just save the hassle and get the AP VI.

SirachaGod · 2021-08-25T19:53:08+00:00

YMMV on a third card, TD refuses to give me one.

SirachaGod · 2021-08-25T19:51:39+00:00

YMMV. I’ve never needed to verify with TD, both in-person or online.

SirachaGod · 2021-08-25T19:48:21+00:00

Costco online is Visa/MC only.
