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. :
4 Fill your Spa with clean, cold water only, by placing a garden hose directly into the Spa. The correct water level is indicated on the skimmer faceplate located inside the spa. Make sure all jets are open. (Turn jet faces clockwise).
1. With spa operating, press the TEST button on the GFCI. The GFCI will trip and the spa will shut off.
The Size of Your Hot Tub:
However, the typical amount of water used in the two to three-person hot tub is 150 to 200 gallons. That means you need to consider that 150 to 200 gallons of water is required to fill up your hot tub. You will also have to establish an appropriate cleaning routine for that amount of water.
This can be a common issue and is likely caused by either the spa suction being open and there`s not enough water returning to the spa or it`s a faulty check valve. Check the suction side lever that is connected to the spa so see if it`s open.
Typically, the amount of chlorine you need to put in your hot tub for the first time is around one teaspoon of chlorine granules for every 100 gallons of fresh water. Generally, you need to aim for a chlorine level of between 5 and 8 ppm. For subsequent treatments, keep free chlorine levels between 2 and 4 ppm.
The chemicals you will need to start your hot tub include a pH increaser, pH decreaser, calcium hardness, a metal removal (if using water from rainwater tanks or bore) and a sanitiser.
While this is not universal across all hot tubs, most high-speed jets are on an automatic timer of 15 minutes, and the low-speed jets turn off automatically after 2 hours. At the end of the day, whether or not a hot tub turns off automatically all comes down to the type of hot tub you use.
Yes, you can turn off your hot tub, but it`s better to keep it running. That said, there are a few occasions when it might be best to switch the tub off.
There are two buttons on the control panel one is to turn the hot tub lights and the jets on. Most also have another to adjust the heat.
Make sure the jets are all open and not blocked by debris or buildup. Check the plumbing line for any clogging. If you recently refilled your spa, the jets may be blocked with an air bubble. Dislodge the air bubble by turning your jets on and off multiple times to force it out.
Typically, water heats up by five to ten degrees Fahrenheit in an hour. Heating your hot tub to the desired temperature in the 100 to 102 degrees Fahrenheit range can take three to eight hours.
There are only two ways to connect a hot tub to power. The first is through a low 110 v connection that simply plugs into a wall outlet, and the second is through a 220 v, 230 v, or 240 v connection directly to your home`s central circuit breaker box.
ROUND (Depth x Diameter² x 5.9 = Capacity)
To figure water volume, multiply the average depth (deepest part plus shallowest part, divided by 2) times the diameter, times the diameter, times 5.9. If you have an in ground or other type spa with sloped sides, multiply result by . 85.
A standard use of a hot tub usually uses between 250 and 450 gallons of water – let`s middle that number and go with an average of 350 gallons used per hot tub session, give or take.
Make sure the jets are all open and not blocked by debris or buildup. Check the plumbing line for any clogging. If you recently refilled your spa, the jets may be blocked with an air bubble. Dislodge the air bubble by turning your jets on and off multiple times to force it out.

Need the wire diagram to rewire my Ariens lawnmover to bypass the safety switch. It is Ariens GT-19 model # 931026 Serial # 001463.
Can you help? It is an old Ariens mower but still runs good but now I need to bypass the safety switch in order to run it any longer. The local Ariens dealer said I need to go through the internet and get the wire diagram as they cannot give it to me directly. They told me I needed the wire diagram and the part involved in bypassing the safety switch. Hope this is all the information you need to help me.

ANSWER : Here is owner manual:http://apache.ariens.com/manuals/030305C.pdfusually the switch is behind the ignition, sometimes at the N position of gearshift, just look for a switch with one wire coming in & one going out (usually the same color); disconnect the two wires & jumper them together to bypass the switch. Looks like yours has one under the seat.

How many hours a day should you run your pump? How many hours a day is it safe to run your intex pool pump, to insure a clean pool? I purchased my pool last summer and had major problems all year. When i got my pool my pump did not work and i had to wait a week for a new one to be shipped, well after that i had nothing but problems. My boyfriend said it was not good to let pump run all day but i think hes wrong. Can you give me some good tips on keeping my pool crystal clear?
ANSWER : Some pumps are 24hr 7days pumps some are not and should be on a timer. time usually run for 8 hours max a day. you can get a time from most pool leisure places. the pump will say if its a 24hr pump if not then would say its a timer type.
