How to Prevent Hot Tub Foam

25 Jun

1.Prevent foam by showering before soaking in the hot tub. That will wash off all the soap residue, makeup, and other body chemicals.
2.Make sure bathing suits are cleaned and rinsed with fresh water before getting in the hot tub.
3.Don’t go underwater. Long-haired soakers should wear a baseball cap to keep their hair up.
4.Don’t buy cheap chemicals. Get the right chemicals from a trusted hot tub supply store.
5.Don’t drink in the hot tub to avoid the risk of spilling it in the water.
6.Drain and clean a hot tub regularly. Do this every 3 to 4 months.

Coast Spa Yellow Pump

11 Jan

img_1298Coast Spas 4.5 HP Yellow “wet end”. The pump’s internal parts as well as the housing and motor can go bad and require replacement. When determining the magic number of replacement parts cost versus cost of whole pump, we generally suggest 60-75% as the standard. If the cost to repair is within or over this range, it is smarter to replace the pump. As example, if the cost of the impeller, ceramic seal, faceplate oring, and wear ring exceed 60% of the cost of the entire “wet end”, it is advised to purchase the entire wet end.

We also carry a slightly “thicker” gasket 711-4020. Same size diameter but thicker material.

Choosing the right Waterway spa pump….

12 Jan

IMG_2278To ensure the correct replacement, check the “nameplate” of your old pump, located on the side of the motor. The main information to look for on this label is:   Frame Size  (48 or 56)

Volts  (115 or 230)

HP

AMPS

CAT

Also, we will need the measurement (outside thread) of the intake and the discharge. Is the discharge Vertical? Horizontal?
