Is this John Lydon

I have a small above ground pool, 4800 liters. I would like to keep it running around 28C but the ambient temp here is usually 32C down to 21C for a few weeks out of the year. The idea is to just beat the cold those winter weeks. Would you have any recommendations that aren’t the DIY for my situation? Thanks.

Love looking at your face for 6 minutes instead of how it was bonded.

How do you keep the pipes between the heat pump and tub as well as the heat exchanger in the heatpump from freezing in cold weather?

I'm an old school plumber. I'll trace the leak and get it sorted onve for all!

Great video, thanks! I am just installing a unit and am trying to get the tubing in place before locking it into concrete. I think I have the 75mm and 90mm tubing sorted out. The 32mm ones with the transparent airtubes are a bit unclear. Do they need to be attached or do you just push them through/onto? Any advice is appreciated!

In tub heater 3kw air pump 1kw, why update the mcb

How do you propose to block the jets and drains? Would duct tape work?

Does the rebar not need to be tied into the pre-existing pool rebar?

Dude you are annoying with no valuable information special up to code

Geeze...soaking in all those toxic micro particles from the foam. Makes perfect sense

Don't put in jets, they really don't help, it's all about hot water

I have a hpl 200 spa pack from 2004 and I need a topside control but I am not sure which one but it is a balboa pack

If you need to sever the main drain pipe before the valve before the pump how to you plug the drain?

I'm looking for which wire connectors in the pump motor housing to connect to the harness. There is a diagram, underneath the pump. I would have to remove the pump to read the diagram. This seems like the sort of thing that would be easy to find. It isn't. I have the pump model number Balboa puums602582r, but it is easier to search for an orange cat online than that exact model number, or even similar ones. I cannot believe what the lawyers have done to the internet. I'm not stupid. They just litigate/censor until the internet becomes useless.

sorry for the long comment, I have installed BP7 with a TP500 topside wasn't able to get the 2nd pump(1 sp) to fire(Aux). I was talking with a Tech support forgot to mention that on that pump it's 4 wire (grnd, wht, blk, red) which makes it a 2 speed wire corrct?but pump is 1 sp the wire I have is for a 2 speed but I left the red disconnected will this make a diff for it not firing? I had the 2 sp plug , pluged in pump 1 and the 1 sp cord plugged in pump 2 on expanstion brd wasn't able to get pump 2 (1sp) to fire. Tech thought I should have theTP600 I thought so as well.. but the seller wanted me to send in the entire unit..what a huge inconvenience Tech said i had everything connected correctly. and could be the topside or the expansion brd / or main brd faulty. I started wondering about that 2 sp cord on a 1 sp pump that came off of it. So Im sending back the entire unit in. Geeezz.. Help..

Installing my new spa pack raised many questions for me including whether the existing AMP connectors were set up correctly for the new unit. Thanks to this video, you allowed me to confirm they were following the standard and put my mind at ease. Thank you!

Excellent video, thank you for making it!

I just watched several of your videos on spa pack set-up, wiring and programming and they contained exactly the information I needed. I just successfully replaced my spa-pack and controller in my three pump system and everything is working properly now. Thank you for making these concise videos to de-mystify the topic and save me lots of money!

I want to do a hottub with a 1000L tote, what setup would you recommend? Electric Heater and pump. Thanks

Can I use a sump pump?

I have a small trough and some pond liner and a bucket in the front of my tractor. I want to make a hot tub

Very nice!

My bypass valve of the filter is not opening. My jet one does not have water coming out of the jets whether I put it on speed one or 2 and the bypass remains closed. Is this the cause of my problem? Please help anyone. 😢

I think you’re supposed to insulate from the outside🤪🤔

❤❤

No one cares

Single mat wall. Yeah center will work. If it’s a center retaining wall with inside pressure and minimal dirt. Centers ok but putting the steel closer to the water side with the right angle facing the outside. Dirt is heavy but water has more out more horizontal pressure. Air is for expanding in cold temperatures. Mainly for out door pads. Walls do if they are not insulated. You can put foam on outside. They don’t always put air on walls or footers because footers are underground., depends the size . I built water treatment plants in mid Atlantic east coast and desert out AZ . If you mix it your self it’s fine if it’s not the same color but you want a decent slump at a higher psi. It’s getting covered with tile. So the larger you go like pools will need an expansion joints. They have a mold plaster mix with fibers that’s you can make a diagonal mud pad . We done some. But I seen alot done on commercial senior homes and other.

You should only need one ground or run the wire half way around. I’m thinking about it. I built a few pools. I worked for a civil and structural engineer company . I’m good with archaeological drawings because I was a bridge and ctf inspector. My my profession is in concrete foundations, walls, slabs and decks. As well as reinforcing iron, I was a union foreman. I was a subcontractor and now I’m a commercial contractor bidding on my own jobs. I want to see the bonding . If my tub is smaller how thick I need it. I can check the specs for my states code. But they normally run one ground in the ground but run it all the way through. If it’s a big building thry might have multiple points . Grounded energy. But the concrete insulates it. It’s really to pick up the negative energy from the ground . Is my opinion. Copper probably gives it energy like it does with the plants . I’m run copper too my craw space and might put a ground . Add one sonce it’s an older house.

And... where is the answer? 😅

How many water jets can I have with 2.2kW pump? It's LP300. I have 21 and it's very weak...I don't know if it's because of too low power or a mistake in installation. It looks good when the water level is low, but if I fill in the hot tub than the water jets are very weak

I don't understand why this is not available is the United States like the larger model is. The larger ones are too expensive and ugly but this is perfect! I guess I'll wait a year and see if it comes out here. Otherwise I might try and import one.

He has done a great job

I only have one hand but I have land and I have ambition but I'm afraid if I have what it takes to do something like this I really like watching your channel though and I hope that you're having a good time making these videos for us

Question..U seem like you make things really easy.. I had hooked up my pack BP7,,and noticed the ground connection is not located inside the box for the ground?? soo this means I have to leave it out and connect it to the ground lug on the outside of the box THank you

This is exactly what my Balboa 2hp pump is doing. I replaced the capacitor on the the top of the motor but its still doing the same. I think I have to look for the start-up capacitor if there is one. Thx.

great video. thanks for the info!

great video. lots of good info. thanks for posting!

Is it possible to have a dual function spa? i.e. cold plunge and hot tub

I'm guessing this is an old video? You mentioned gas and electric are around the same price. My gas is 22p / kw but gas is 5.5p / kw. So am i right in thinking a gas boiler will be 4 times cheaper to run?
