again. It does this 2 or 3 times daily. I have called my pool service but service is so backed up they will not get to me for 3 days. Do I need to do anything in the meantime?.

Experienced athletes share their insights in answering this question:
You have a valve that is faulty or not completely closed. I lean toward the not completely closed. If your spa and pool share a filter and/or heater, review all valve settings and positions. I suspect you will find there is one that is partially open.
Thanks for your question @ FixYa.com this evening.
How to Identify and Resolve Common Issues ?
We offer a diverse range of insights on identifying and resolving common problems in sports. Our sources encompass academic articles, blog posts, and personal essays shared by seasoned athletes. :
Diverter valve – controls the direction of the water flow. If the rubber gaskets go bad on this valve, water can escape back into the line and flow back into the pool. This will cause the spa to drain down. Simply change the valve diverter assembly and your problem is fixed.
Check for a bad seal — While PVC pipes can burst if water freezes in the line over the winter, the most likely culprit of your hot tub`s leak is a bad seal. If you`ve examined the check valve (or valves) and determined it is not the cause of your leak, a corroded pump seal may be to blame.
There are typically three causes of leaking pumps: the shaft seal, unions, or the volute: Seal Shaft: If the shaft seal has failed, you can order a new seal without replacing the entire pump. Union Fitting: A union fitting is a three-part connector located at the entrance and exit.
If the process fails, the iAquaLink device will need to have its memory cleared by physically toggling the WiFi-Wired switch to Wired then back to WiFi. This will restart setup mode so you may attempt to connect it to your eero network again.
Draining and refilling your spa will be an important aspect of spa ownership. Many spas need to be drained and refilled every three to four months due to chemical build-up.
To Restart a Hot Tub
After draining, refill the tub with new water. Choose a good jet and drain cleaner, and follow the instructions on the package. Allow the jets to run long enough to do a thorough cleaning job. Don`t let your hot tub fill with hard-to-remove gunk.
We recommend that you don`t switch your tub off completely; it is more cost and time effective to bring the temperature back up from a small drop than reheating a whole new batch of cold water. If you aren`t around during the winter or won`t be using your tub, it may be better to close it down completely.
If you use your hot tub most days, the most effective way to run it is actually to just leave it in standard mode. That`s because the kind of spa you`ll pick up from a WhatSpa?-recommended dealer will be so well insulated that very little heat will escape from it.
One of the most common questions our team gets asked is “should I leave my hot tub on all the time?” Quite simply, the answer is yes… your hot tub is designed to be left switched on constantly and works best when it is left on all the time. Your hot tub is at it`s most efficient if left to run 24/7.
The dry end houses the motor in a sealed environment which protects it from moisture. Generally, spa pool pumps can last from 5 to 10 years if spa water is maintained correctly.
Leak detection
The easiest way to locate leaks in both pools and spas is to use the food colouring method. To do this, simply purchase a dark food colouring and apply a small amount to your spa water. Then, all you need to do is observe the movement of the coloured water, which will likely lead you to the problem area.
If the water loss is larger when the pump is running, the likely culprit is the underground return line. However, a leak in the return or jet fitting will also leak at a greater rate when the pump is on (there is pressure in the system). How do we find pool plumbing leaks? The first step is to pressure test the line.
Most commonly, it is simply due to a failed, or stuck check valve in the plumbing at your equipment. A raised body of water that actually shares the same system as the main pool that is lower than the spa naturally wants to drain into the main body of water below it because of gravity.
Diverter valves are used to redirect the water from your hot tub and send it in different directions. These diverter valves can either redirect the flow of hot tub water or air flow within your hot tub.

My swimming pool. I have just had my fifth IC 40 Intellichlor chlorine generator installed in 4 years at a cost of over $900 today. Each one has worked for no more than 8 months. The first three were replaces under three year warranty, the fourth by a factory rep and I bought the fifth today. The first three all failed with Flow Chk PCB error message. The fourth just stopped working on Sunday, no power or lights. A local Pentair warranty person, whom I paid a Service Call, unplugged the unit, opened the small power center cover, showed me the green light indicating that there was power, plugged in a new IC 40 which worked immediately (as did the other four). I asked if I should replace the power center and he said that it’s basically just a transformer and is working fine. We do get occasional power blips that make the clocks on microwaves, etc blink, but I thought that the power center essentially isolates the cell from these. I do have a Florida Power and Light surge protector on the electrical box that brings power into the house. I have now talked to the pool builder, two Pentair warranty repairmen and one factory rep. I am at a loss. They all tell me they have no idea why these units fail after less than a year. This last IC 40 was installed 3/24/2010, version 2.0 and now failed in less than 5 months. Should I replace the power center that the IC 40 plugs into. Any other suggestions. I have been told that this is the best chlorinator. I don’t want to keep replacing units. By the way, each unit had been spotless inside. I keep the water chemicals and salt levels at ideal levels. The units have never worked long enough to get dirty inside. The power center is connected to an Intellitouch control system outside with an indoor control panel. Last time I called Pentair North Carolina and got some smart alec tech person that had no suggestions. Please Help if you can.
ANSWER : I’ve had the same experiance. On my fifth one as well. Fail every year. No idea why.

3 year old Toro Z4200 time cutter Z, 19 HP Kohler, engine runs great, new battery, new solenoid, with the seat sensor connected or by-passed, STILL WONT start off the key switch. Clicks at the kill relay. Would the kill relay be the problem?
Whats confusing is, both the green and blue posts on the solenoid have 14.01 volts when you turn the key to ‘start’ position. Did the same thing with the old solenoid, which is probably still good. I replaced it to eliminate that variable. It also ‘clicks’ at the fuel switch at the carburetor bowl, but that is only 1 lead (I assume a hot lead) so Im thinking that CANT be it.
Using the old hillybilly method, jumping across the 2 top posts on the solenoid, with the key in on position, it will start right up, run, drive and mow just fine.
So my best guess is this ‘KILL RELAY’ must be bad?
Any help would be appreciated, thank you !

ANSWER : These things are pre requisites for engine cranking: PTO/Blades are off/button pushed down, the steering arms are out/parked position, and you are in the seat. I think. Definitely the blades have to off.

I have a 1997 Coleman 107 Hot Tub. While filling the tub it over flowed and the circuit breaker popped. Over the years I’ve done this a couple of times. I remove the side, let things dry for a day or so and everything is fine. This time, I reset the breaker and the spa went on. The pumps work fine, and the control panel shows the temp and the indicator light shows the heater is on. However, work never heats up. The local spa repair folks are crooks and they know less than I do, and I know NOTHING. Nonetheless, I’m going to try and fix the problem myself. Now, I need to know the best way to determine if the problem is the circuit board or the heater itself. I also need to know where I can get a repair maual. I’m tired of paying Goober and Gomer hundreds of dollars.
ANSWER : Check the terminals that lead into the heating element to ensure voltage is present (110 AC) if voltage is present upon start up the heating element must be replaced if no voltage is present is is most likely a control board issue. Go to this web site for contact info and possible repair manual aquisition.

Intex pool not compatible with Polaris vac-sweep cleaner
ANSWER : Polaris should have an adapter to make it fit, I’m surprised you didn’t get one, usually an adapter is put in a box to make it work with multiple pools, you can call them and order one or go to a local hardware store or Menards and make your own. They will have PVC fitting adapters. You should be able to find one that will work which you may need to permanently attach it on the one end and custom fit it, but if you have basic skills, then you shouldn’t have a problem with getting it to work. Let me know how this turns out.Benjamin

I have a 2001 Yamaha XL700Z Waverunner. The compression on both cylinders is about 120, it starts and runs fine – dry. Won’t quite idle, but I can start it and rev it up fine (for a short period, of course). However, as soon as it gets in the water, it will barely run – it will start and sputter and you cannot get it to run more than a few seconds or rev up. Take it back out, let it dry, starts & revs fine. It is not getting any water in the casing that I can tell, its almost as if water is getting something wet through the cooling system that I cannot see?
ANSWER : Try cleaning the carbs and the fuel lines, filter
