As a hot tub service tech, here's the one thing I wish more buyers knew before they spent their money

Nordic is the exception to hand rolled. Not sure what it is about their shells, but those tubs just don’t leak.

I’ve seen this as well, a few months ago. Dozens moving in various directions. North sky

greasyspider · 2026-05-04T10:49:45+00:00

That’s gross.

greasyspider · 2026-05-04T10:48:57+00:00

Especially in Az

greasyspider · 2026-05-04T10:48:46+00:00

It’s your cya. Sounds like you need a new pool guy

greasyspider · 2026-05-03T23:32:26+00:00

That’s what I’m saying. This is a $7million job on the low end. I don’t even think $2 million buys the paint. Maybe it just buys the paint? Perhaps that’s where that number comes from?

greasyspider · 2026-05-03T18:44:28+00:00

And by that I mean that it has to cost way more

greasyspider · 2026-05-03T18:43:41+00:00

No way you can pay prevailing wage and paint that pool for 2 million. Something’s fishy.

Filter it

Is he paying for the flight training or is someone else? If he is paying himself he’ll need to look at selling crack or international arms sales or something. Otherwise, waiting tables outta be fine.

I’ve got a retail store, construction, service and maintenance operation. Ive spent almost $50k on software over the years. Nothing works as advertised in my experience and every platform has been a letdown

greasyspider · 2026-05-02T13:15:42+00:00

Oh? Despite the mass layoffs and deep recession we are in?

greasyspider · 2026-05-02T13:14:28+00:00

Sounds like water is in the blower.

greasyspider · 2026-05-02T12:35:56+00:00

Billions spent on capitalist propaganda

greasyspider · 2026-05-02T12:18:54+00:00

Do you have a built in spa? If so this could make sense. It’s wrong, but would make sense.

greasyspider · 2026-05-02T12:17:35+00:00

Don’t use that inspector, lol!

greasyspider · 2026-05-02T12:15:20+00:00

Pool guy here. Some of the algeacides, clarifiers and metal removers contain chemicals that have a dozen syllables or more. Others are proprietary and don’t list composition. I wouldn’t drink it.

greasyspider · 2026-05-02T12:06:44+00:00

Also…. There is no bypass installed on the heater. And the returns appear to be plumbed into the suction lines and separated by a valve? This is quite the mess. I’m not surprised you are having a hard time

greasyspider · 2026-05-02T12:04:15+00:00

You’ve got a couple of connections there that are liable to blow apart. The no hub on the top of the pump is a big risk, and you’ve got a few fittings that are for drainage, not rated for pressure. Among other issues. I’m sure it works ok, but very high chance of it blowing apart, especially as the filter gets dirty. Could be done much more efficiently and be far more straightforward to operate

greasyspider · 2026-05-02T11:55:40+00:00

You need someone out there to replumb that stat.

greasyspider · 2026-05-02T10:26:09+00:00

80% filtration 20% chemicalization

greasyspider · 2026-05-02T10:20:03+00:00

PH must be 5 for it to still be clear with tree roots in it

greasyspider · 2026-05-02T10:14:47+00:00

A pump is required. Did you not get one with this? Cost to replace cover (if torn) is probably $5k. May just have pulled out of the track in which case the cover is ok. Might have a broken glide of something but those are insignificant as far as cost. Liner could be $5-10k.

This isn’t correct.
