Hi, so i have been watching your videos for hot tub info. We bought our first hot tub about a month ago. Everything has been great but for the life of me, i can't get the bromine levels to stay at normal. We purged our tub when we first got it. Filled, hot tub cleaner, followed instructions, emptied and filled again. Right now my chemicals are all good. Hardness, alkalinity, and ph perfect. It shows chlorine as perfect as well, but we use bromine so not sure about that. The strips are 7-1 strips. Hardness, free chlorine, bromine, chlorine, cyanuric acid?? Alkalinity and ph. When i shock it, the bromine and free chlorine go to normal. Then a couple days later, below normal to nothing as per color on strip. I have a bromine floater with tablets in it. I use your process, 1tbs of shock when we get out. Just realized yesterday after watching one of your videos, 2tbs add max a week. I had been doing every day after we gett out. I have added spa clear to lump up those skin cells and everything else. That cleared up the water like crazy. There was foam i got rid of that with the defoamer. So I'm sitting with clear water, no foam, perfect chemicals except bromine. I just can't figure out the reason for low bromine based on what has been done. Any ideas of what I'm doing wrong?

Hi! I was wondering if you could help me figure out how to override a hot tub that has a malfunctioning topside control panel. The temp button on my Strong Spa is not responding to touch (the other buttons are working). We have ordered a new control panel, but there is a bit of lag time and we are a small exclusive hotel in the middle of nowhere and I really want the guests to be able to soak. It is stuck at around 82 degrees, everything else is working just fine, except that one dumb button. We have tried flipping the breaker, unplugging the cord to the topside control panel, unplugging the control panel itself and still...nothing. You seem to have a lot of tips and tricks, if you can help me that would be amazing!

Then I went to the main breaker box and powered the entire house down for about a min. Worked fine after that.

Good afternoon, the gfci is in the software of the hot tub itself so it doesn't require a neutral. However, code is going to tell you to run a neutral so best thing to do is cap it off on both sides so it doesn't create an issue. Furthermore, you do still need a gfci breaker per code and I know what you're thinking why do I need a gfci if I don't have a neutral? What we think doesn't matter as we have to follow the codes. Hope this helps!

Good afternoon, my suggestion would be start with the basics. Balance the pH, then chlorine. Remember, that salt is sodium chloride and turns into chlorine so you should maintain at least a 2-3 parts per million of chlorine. Until you do this you really don't have a true reading of the rest of the test strip. My biggest suggestion is get into a habit of maintaining your hot tub every week same day, same time. This is one of the biggest issues I see with water chemistry. Let me know when you get to this point and I will help you find your weekly regiment but this is where we need to start. Hope this helps!

I would love to know when it would be available for prior year 880s and what kind of cost. We live in AZ and were using the cameo 4 times a week or more then summer happened and it's just so hot here, it's hard to want to be out there.

Good afternoon, my guess is it won't be very long but it won't integrate with the topside control. You'll have to controller it from the chiller itself and unplug the heater. This is no big deal but worth notating. The cost for service and the unit will most likely will be around $2500. In my opinion, it's well worth it. Hope this helps!

@@atlantahottubcenter oh yeah! It will be definitely helpful. Once we receive our spa around late summer, our plan is to install the heat pump on the opposite side of the front panel, so the heat pump lays under the opened cover. But as of today it is still a mystery to us to know whether we’ll have enough space to go through the entire spa with the plumbing. More efficient and more esthetic if doable And we were planning the buy a Poolex hp but after seeing your video explaining that 880 (Marin) are balboa inside, I’m rethinking twice.

My 4" concrete pad was 2" off level so before my tub was delivered I found a product called The Spa Level-R online. They custom built a platform for my tub which leveled it perfectly. There are like feet, or glides built into it which you just adjust and level. Bonus was it raises it off the ground as well, preventing any rot to my skirting. Only downside is it took 10 days to get but well worth the wait considering it was a perfect match to the size of my hot tub.

Hi, i’m getting the HFL and LF code, sometimes dry code as well. I cleaned it and refilled it, fired it back up and all was normal. Turned the temperature down significantly cause i went away on holidays. Now i’m getting the codes described above. Already removed filters, refilled spa through the filter holes with a hose, opened the connections to the pumps in case it could’ve been an airlock but with no succes, i keep getting those errors. All the normal jets work except for the ones that have hot water output into the spa. The heater works as well since if i use my submersible pump with the output in the filter hole i can feel hot water coming through the hot water output jets and the error codes don’t come up again. Any idea what the problem could be?
