Hot Spring Spas / Re: Cover rotted on top, now full of water underneath« Last post by Rowan Miele on March 07, 2024, 03:48:33 am »Two and a half years in, and it's giving up the ghost? Not cool, especially for a 10K tub. Rainwater collection turning it into a makeshift water bed is just the icing on the cake. Definitely a head-scratcher. Good move on calling the warranty folks – maybe they'll sort you out without much hassle.

Hot Spring Spas / Re: Freshwater Salt System - Can it be disabled?« Last post by Malcom Turn on March 07, 2024, 03:17:10 am » I feel your pain with those pesky cartridges. Been there, done that. So, here's the lowdown: you can totally disable the Freshwater Salt System, but it's like diving into the tech stuff. Usually involves some button combo dance, consult your hot tub manual for the secret handshake. If that fails, hit up your dealer again. Sometimes they got the hookup or a sneaky trick up their sleeve.

Okay, so my aunt had a similar deal with her back probs, and she swears by those tubs with hydrotherapy jets. Like, legit, it's like a mini massage for your entire body. Check out models with adjustable jets so you can tailor the pressure. And yeah, that lounger section is key – it hits the sweet spot, you know?
Also, consider those tubs with built-in heating features. Keeps things cozy and can help relax the muscles even more. Maybe hit up a few spa showrooms, test the waters (literally), and see what clicks. Best of luck, hope your wife finds some relief soon! 75
General info Somewhat hot tub related / Re: How to upload pictures & Is there a 'Profile' section for member's account« Last post by Malcom Turn on March 07, 2024, 12:26:04 am »To upload pictures, you'll usually need to use a third-party image hosting service like Imgur and then insert the image using the "Insert Image" button, which sounds like what you're trying to do. As for a profile section, that's usually available right from the start, but it might depend on the specific site or forum you're using. If you can't find instructions, don't worry, it's not always easy to spot everything right away.

Hot Spring Spas / Re: Preventing airlocks« Last post by Vincent Jennings on March 06, 2024, 07:33:15 am »I had a similar issue with my spa, and here's what worked for me. Instead of pointing the hose directly into the filter compartment, try submerging it in the water while filling. This can help prevent airlocks by allowing the air to escape through the hose as it fills.
Also, make sure to open all the valves and bleeders to allow any trapped air to escape. Give these a shot and see if it helps! 78
Hot Tub Forum / Re: Advice needed« Last post by Malcom Turn on March 06, 2024, 07:23:54 am »Sounds like you're on a mission to find the perfect spa for your wife, which is super thoughtful of you! Since she liked the lounger section in your old Maxx Spa, definitely keep an eye out for that feature. When you're shopping, look for tubs with adjustable jets so she can customize the massage to target her back. Brands like Jacuzzi, Hot Spring, and Sundance are known for their therapeutic tubs. It might also be worth checking with a physical therapist for specific recommendations tailored to her needs. Hope this helps, and good luck with your search!

Bullfrog Spas / Re: Bullfrog questions: Aeration, Airlock drains, 30min Shut-off, Neckplus JetPack« Last post by Vincent Jennings on March 04, 2024, 04:54:52 am »Congrats on your new A6L Select! Okay, so about your questions: 1) Yeah, seems like the jets are tied to aeration, no separate option. Weird, right? 2) Can't find a way to change the auto-shut-off time? That's frustrating. 3) Good call on cycling the pumps, sounds like it helped a bit. 4) Those rough cuts on the JetPak covers sound annoying. Maybe reach out to customer service? 5) Air bleed valves sound handy, but figuring out which connects where can be a bit of a puzzle. Keep tinkering, you'll get it sorted!

Hot Tub Forum / Re: Strong allergic reaction to Bromine. How to do a 'Chlorine' bathtub test?« Last post by Malcom Turn on March 04, 2024, 04:43:10 am »It's tough dealing with allergies, especially when they mess with your relaxation time. To test out if chlorine is a better fit for your wife's skin, you'll want to mimic your hot tub's chlorine levels in a regular bathtub. Lower your tap water's Total Alkalinity (TA) and adjust the pH to match your hot tub's levels.
Then, add 7.5% chlorine to the bathwater. As for antihistamines, they can help manage allergic reactions, but it's best to consult a healthcare professional for the right dosage and timing. Wishing you both happy and rash-free soaking! |
