I get my chems from http://www.jessyjames.ca/
Site looks like crap but it works fine...free delivery the very next day and the prices is so much cheaper than the places that sell hot tubs.
For example, a 700g bottle of shock is $17 vs $24 at WOS.
Jesus thanks for this. I need a new cover for my Jacuzzi and these guys even deliver.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
850g shock $14.00 at Home Depot
Uh… this thread finally gave me the push I need to get mine up and running again… went to the Internet this time. Need a new heater… again, figure the pressure switch must be shot as the last ~$450 inline heater lasted about a month. Found it online (Canadian retailer still) for $295, but better yet they also had the element only, which locally I was told last time didn’t exist for $68, so for $100 and free shipping this tub should be good to go
TIL shock doesn't have to be purchased from the specialty store and obscenely expensiveThis quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
Walmart also has stuff for cheap.
There are a few good Canadian online sites. hottubessentials.ca hottubsuperstore.com poolandhottubdepot.com for example.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
I got a new 2-speed motor/pump out of Kelowna for a very reasonable price.
Today you also learned that "shock" doesn't need to be diclor. I use diclor after a water change and bleach exclusively to maintain the appropriate free chlorine levels after. It also prevents the increase Cyanuric Acid which will reduce the effectiveness of the chlorine. Its a vicious cycle once things start running away.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
To "shock" your tub is to simply bring free chlorine levels between 20-30 ppm.
Man what are you guys throwing into your hot tubs? I just use chlorine and the occasional SpaGuard SpaLite. pH up or down if need be but Calgary's water seems to be exactly where it needs to be most of the time.
Y'all need to get on the saltwater wagon...
Isn't there someone you can pay $9 to maintain these things that get used 10x per year?
Why? It's still chlorine.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
Exactly, just uses less "chemical" but its still a chlorine sanitizer system.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote

….$1100 online for a new ecopak… thankfully paradise bay hooked it up, they had boards in stock, only $736.. but I still get a discount for buying the tub there originally… so $550, I’ll take it
The heater relay got stuck or something…
Same thing happened to my Balboa board last winter, but fortunately the OH relay still worked fine, so the tub would keep heating until 115°F and then OH would kick in and would cool down to 85°F before kicking in again.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
I replaced all the relays for $40, but my board wasn't burnt.

I’m just hoping that’s the end of it… waiting on some silicone to dry (patched up some leaky LEDs) before I fill it… still have a new heater element and pressure switch in the mail, but at least I’ll have a backup for when it craps out again when it’s -30This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member.
