Outdoor pool filter help needed?




signmanj


we have a 15' pool from Target and we love it and am wondering what is the way you can clean the tube white filters? We heard soaking them in something works so you dont have to keep buying them. Any help would be appreciated.


Answer
I have a 10 year old Jacuzzi hot tub. We bought an extra pair of white paper-like filters at the same time. They weren't cheap back then. Well we've never bought any more. Go down to Lowe's and pick up a spray bottle of 'Aquaez' 'cartridge & D.E. filter cleaner'. That's what it says on the label. Pull your filter out, hose away the loose debris, let most of the water drain away then spray it with Aquaez, let it sit for a while, maybe 10 to 15 minutes, to soften up the remaining unwanted sediment, then hose it away. I then put my two filters in a 5 gallon bucket of plain water with a half cup of bleach to make sure they are sanitized. Since I have a spare set these go up on a shelf in the garage to dry out real good before being switched back in.

Hot tubs. Spas, Jacuzzi, which one to get how much electric bill per month Maintenance for them?

Looking to maybe get a hot tub. Just started looking and hot springs guys says his r the best. Jacuzi guy says that they started the outdoor hot tubs. Sundance is the Lexus of hot tubs. I just wanted to get feedback from people who own outdoor spas and what brand do you have. What was the cost to run it during winter and summer. How often do you use it. What is the weekly/monthly maintance for it etc.. Any info would help.

Thank you,



Answer
All three of those brands are luxury hot tubs. Do note that Jacuzzi rolls off the same line that Sundance does. All three are great tubs. They all are expensive to fix but the warranty will cover you for five years on the important things. The cost of running the Hotsprings will be the cheapest by about 8 bucks a month. No with that said..the cost of repairing the Hotsrings will almost always be more expensive since their parts are very difficult to otain and please don't think your dealer will be there tomorrow just because they may have for 20 years. I repair all three. I like all three. I am hard to pick one over the over but I love Sundance's quality and jets, not too mention their arrangements. Also I am no fan of the Moto Massage seat. They are broke at every tub I go to and being 80% fused (back) I am really into the therapy aspect of a tub. Of these three, you can't beat a Sundance. Now with all of that said...I gave away mine and brought home a Masterspa LSX. What we don't know is where you live so electricity is going to be hard to tell you. Sundance-Jacuzzi in NC, around $30 a month. Hotsprings about $22. I use mine every day and realy keep up on my chemicals. Now for sanitizing, I have a CD Ozonator, use very little Bromine, a Frog mineral cartrige and a non-chlorine shock for oxidizing. My tub has no smell and costs about $10 a month in chemicals. Almost every tub has a few different modes you can run it in to save money, except the Hotsprings. I do wish my Masterspa had those Sundance jets, and I wish that Sundance had that Masterspa frame. We always accept phone calls if you have a specific question.
