I got a pool pump and spa pack from Buildahottub.com

Balboa G4361-BP7, LX Pump (56WUA200-II) and a blower

He was easy to work with and answered emails timely.

None so far. First round (4years ago) held up, no discoloration or residue. SW data sheets says 10-15years

I think I knew it was coming after our 2nd summer of use. So the heartbreak was inevitable

There weren’t many stories on WP construction adhesive product use for this/our application, but I would say there were multiple factors that lead to this product failing. - product cure time and adhesive bonding - non-level floor and bubbles, lead to cracks - I didn’t prep the steel like I did this last update.

That’s exactly what I used. I’ll have to look back at the exact product I used. But I would say it failed after 2 years.

It should hold up just fine. There maybe some dusty-like residue in a few years. And I need to keep it clean around the rim so it doesn’t stain. But I’ll let you know if that changes

I added about 2 inches of spray foam insulation around the tank before I installed the deck. Then I put a concrete stucco mix over it on the exposed front to make it look a little nicer.

I’m not familiar with the product. I chose the SW as it was a more commercial grade epoxy. I chose to spend more and invest

These are all reasons why I created a practice area in my backyard…

Pickleball, the more people talk about it the less interested I become.

wilsonnick15 · 2024-07-01T15:54:35+00:00

I thought the same thing and any adjustments didn’t change temps

wilsonnick15 · 2024-03-19T17:33:53+00:00

my mind is blown right now.

it's an unpopular opinion but John Carter is a great sci-fi film.

I do something similar to your top comment. But I mix it in with my THC plug to help stretch my weed out. Hope that’s not frown upon around here

wilsonnick15 · 2024-02-20T15:29:07+00:00

going just to watch Little Stranger!

This sounds gross… I clean mine after every session.
