zeitgeist57 Posted May 3, 2016 Report Share Posted May 3, 2016 I may have asked this question in the past, but the hot tub in the backyard that I haven't run in over a year. The water is magically clear under the cover, but I think the filter housing cracked during the winter. Any DIY resources to get new pump/valves? Thanks!

Richard Cranium Posted May 3, 2016 Report Share Posted May 3, 2016 If you are not in a hurry there are places around town you can have the pump and motor rebuilt. A friend did it a while back. I had All Season spas diagnose and replace a pump and motor and it ran be about $1000. I had trouble sitting down for a while after that one. From now on I'll try fixing it myself first. For the filter housing, if you can get to the crack I would probably try epoxy and fiberglass. It doesn't need to hold pressure, just not leak. I have fixed a plastic pond this way. As for valves I would guess you can find what you need on Amazon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zeitgeist57 Posted May 3, 2016 Author Report Share Posted May 3, 2016 Thanks as always, Rick! I guess I'm going to look at peeling the wood paneling off and fixing what I find. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cstmg8 Posted May 3, 2016 Report Share Posted May 3, 2016 At my previous house, I had let a pricey filter housing for my pool freeze and crack. After cringing at replacement prices, a little two part epoxy got me through the remaining two seasons at that house. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zeitgeist57 Posted April 2, 2019 Author Report Share Posted April 2, 2019 Allow me to show you what I ended up doing this past weekend... I let this thing get pretty gnarly, having not been used since 2013. Surprisingly, the water was crystal clear after 5 years...until I took a reciprocating saw to it. https://i.imgur.com/afm3ubY.jpg 1988? Time for a new one.

Hwilli1647545487 Posted April 3, 2019 Report Share Posted April 3, 2019 When is CR invited over to sit in it with you? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zeitgeist57 Posted April 3, 2019 Author Report Share Posted April 3, 2019 Considering the new one is only 76”x76”, some of CR can only fit one at a time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
