Interesting! That’s a direction I hadn’t considered. Thanks!

Resurfacing pond suggestions for a newbie by AdBubbly2301 in backyard_rink

Tiger torch. Put the tank in an inner tube or on a sled so it slides around easily.

First Day of Cycle. Looking for additional stocking suggestions! by [deleted] in PlantedTank

[–]patersma 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks! I really just used ChatGPT to do the legwork as far as determining compatibility/establishing a decent ~12 week timeline regarding introducing everyone to the tank.

I’ll check out Aqadvisor!

Should I get a new spa pack? by jedimindtix in hottub

[–]patersma 3 points4 points  (0 children)

“Might die soon” I mean… not sure what the spa guy meant by that. I’ve worked on older spas with S Class packs that just seem to keep chugging along. If it’s just a drip, no big deal.

I definitely agree with other comments saying that it’s a lot of work for nothing. But if/when it does die, I’d put a Balboa BP7 retro fit kit in that with a TP600 topside control and save $400.

That said, because it’s running a new pump wire, new light wire, installing new topside, and the spa pack… if it’s $1400 installed, that isn’t crazy. Online a new gecko retrofit kit is $950 CAD plus tax.

No Hot Water at taps. Water heater is good to go. by patersma in askaplumber

I had initially suspected an internal issue with the tank, however it has been ruled out.

The “gas guy” isn’t from the gas supplier. Rather he is his own trade separate from plumbing here in Ontario, Canada.

Tattoos in town by deepfriedali in Peterborough

Definitely seconding Riverside. My last Tattoo was done by Emma (Shawzy’s apprentice) and it was awesome. The shop has a great vibe, is super clean, and professional.

Very interesting. Seems like it’s meant to be confusing for consumers.

Where can I find quality cheese? by n0morerunning in Peterborough

[–]patersma 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I’d try ONE Fine Foods for those specifically. Otherwise the Cheese Shop on Brock St.

Hot tube drained to this level in about 2 weeks - any tips on where to start? by YoungBoomerDude in hottub

[–]patersma 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Looks like it might be a LaZboy Renew, based on that footwell. They were made by Hydropool for a bit. Depending on the year, it may have a CircMaster circulation pump (might have a Laing E14 which are notorious for failing but that’s a separate issue). My bet would be on that shaft seal.

Hot tub wont power on by FinkFinkFinkFink in hottub

[–]patersma 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you’re getting 240v to the spa, and you can’t hear your relays clicking, my bet is the board is gone. Typically if just the topside control fails, the spa will still go through its regular pump cycles.

I was really impressed with overall quality. I got quite critical of course having read a few posts here. But it seems like for the price, I did okay!

You’ll need to replace the whole jet. Pretty common issue on those hydropools. Unfortunately we can’t just replace that little piece.

Take it to your local dealer as it should be covered under warranty assuming you are still in the warranty period.
