Glad it was helpful!

Great tip Paul thanks for sharing

Good idea, i will try thanks

Always the dishwasher too

That's odd, e03 is ambient temperature too low, unless it's a very different model! I'm not aware of any that alert to deflating! Keep searching for the leak and use a good rubber sealant

Yep really good point, it's a bad habit I've got (but in the video I was holding over the pool to stay in shot!) thanks for the advise :-)

Glad you enjoyed it

Was your pump unit a 4 wire - I would be interested in your design

Hi Colin, yes if you're in no hurry to use it best way is let the sun shine on it! Run your air bubbles for a bit too and naturally it'll drop over 24 to 48hrs. And yes take the chemconnect off or use without chemicals whilst doing that

@@junkendriven I had this and decided to take some of the water out and fresh. This will should reduce it enough to start again.

It does get stuck sometimes but not too bad so it does sound like cross thread. Check the filter housing when you take it out, empty hot tub and try boiling water on the fitting. hopefully it's that part as you can replace.

@@junkendriven thank you I will give that a go

One tablet is good

Yes, take a look at hottubmanager.co.uk for it

Is this now back in production?

@@Solosheep Yes, units are shipping out now. Ordering in the UK only, we cannot ship overseas.

Sometimes chlorine can stay high, especially after initial dosing. Try taking lid off and running the air jets for 10 mins or so, this helps circulate and the air will help dissipate the chlorine. Patience in the first 1 or 2 days is needed I've always found!

Sorry, it's UK shipping only at this point.

The boost button isn't configured, however you can set the temperature to what you wish up to the manufacturer set maximum of 40oC. I'd not recommended going higher as it may damage many parts.

Hi, I think the key here is the current consumption rather than getting it wet. Ensure the extension is rated enough and if it's a coiled one, un coil it otherwise you create heat in the coil

Hi Anthony, thanks for watching! You should keep circulation on constantly to keep the water moving and filtering, that way you'll stop build up of algae and other nasties. Remember to keep the chlorine levels constantly checked too. For heating I set mine to low temperature when it'll not be used a few days to save money, then higher on days/mornings I want to use it. For replacing the water, this depends. If people using it don't wear make-up, suncream, etc, then it can last a few weeks. Judge it based on cleanliness and the amount of chlorine you need to top up. The more chlorine normally indicates it may need changing. Good luck!

@@junkendriven that’s great , thanks very much for the reply. My water is starting to look a bit cloudy. I’ve kept my water circulation on constant. Am I best to say empty have and top back up with fresh or would you empty the whole lot. Thanks again

Hi, sorry I'm not developing the unit any longer so it'll remain display only

Hi, that does sound unusual. Green murky sounds like algae or similar, might be worth emptying, scrubbing the corners and I sides out as algae can hide in the seams. Changing water every few months I think is more normal. But when I do it's not that bad condition

You don't need algaecide for a spa, hot tub

Hi there, thats odd. They are meant to be left on constantly to allow it to maintain the temperature and also to keep the filter running. You should change the filter when its clogged but doesn't sound like that is the case. Did you correctly dose with chlorine, etc, before going away? Hopefully it's just got a build up of algae or similar, flush the pump through (Try the hottub descaler video) and see if it comes back on.

I think it's the chlorine bleaching it, not too much to worry about though

Sounds like debris already in the pump, probably limescale which comes out as white small gritty particles. Take the pump away from the hottub and flush it with a hosepipe (unplugged from mains) first in one pipe then in the other flush both directions and it may clear it out

Hi, you should just add the tablet after initial shock. No need to add chlorine direct to water. Does it have a rotating dosing adjust? You may need to turn/change the amount it doses the water

@@junkendriven thanks for getting back to me. I haven’t used the separate slow release yet. Been putting it directly in to the water. Hoping it’ll settle soon. Would you have to top up the slow release every day I guess? Not the easiest getting the water right but loving the hot tub 😊

I'd not expect you to need to add to the slow release daily, possibly weekly as it shouldn't take a lot to keep it at the correct level once done. It's unusual for it to take so much to maintain, once you do that initial shock, then it settles you should be fine

Yes I use a 2m x 2m which fits great with room to move around. my garden area one side is only 190cm 6' 4"

You can buy lavender oil specially for hot tubs, it’s lovely, and not as heavy as normal essential oil. It will not clog filters as much as essential oil either. I bought mine on Amazon.

Slightly, larger surface area so Ive found I have to vary it using the doser to have a smaller hole. But cost savings are big

So you dont think the larger tabs are more concentrated that's my main concern as obviously a small hot tub only holds about 1000 liters

No, you can check the dosage, etc of them they're just different sized blocks no difference to their concentration

Not at all they are not coated in any way.

Hi Scott, thanks for visiting and subscribing. So yes the units are designed to have the HEAT function left on, the heater will automatically cycle on and off to maintain around the temperature you set (give or take 1 degree) so to maintain that temperature it's best to leave it, otherwise you've got to wait another 24-48hrs to build heat back up as it's surprising how quickly it will drop without any heating.

Hi mate thank you and just 1 more question I have purchased a wave rome spa hot tub ive had it 1 week and when u turn on the bubbles nothing is happening...its new and no error codes come up just nothing happens do u no what that could be, I'm fuming.

Hi there. Cloudy water is due to skin creams, soaps, make up, etc breaking down in the water. Look for a clarifier or de foamer (chemical) which will clear it again

@@junkendriven Awesome. Thanks for the reply. Found some clarifier at b+q. Will try tomorrow. Will let you know how it goes. 👍

Hi, it sounds like you've done everything right but that's a long time, did you add a lot of chlorine for the shock dose? Also, white seems odd for the tester, it's normally a colour so I'd be wanting to check, test it in say a glass of tap water then add a tiny chlorine and see what colours it goes to make sure the test trips are working, they fade and bleach out if left in the sun too long.

@@junkendriven . Thanks for the reply. We added the amount advised on the leaflet with the chemical starter kit we bought and I checked but it seems we did that right. The only thing is it mentions if the levels of chlorine are very high then the tab for chlorine would go white. I'll check the strips but we have used ones from two different packs that were bought from different shops.

Only a year I'd be speaking to manufacturer. Chances are it's the underneath connections, the pipe goes in and is attached to the pump inlet with a surclip which you can see in my other video with the E02 fixes: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/eJqngtF2sNfZnZs.html you can take the base cover off and check, if thats loose or the pump housing is leaking.

That's a great tip, thanks Mike. I'll give that one a go as always looking for better ways of doing it and that sounds pretty logical.

I just throw mine in the dishwasher lol

If new it should work straight away! Check you have the temperature set higher than current, also check the little black button on the side of the egg, it's the thermal cut out. Otherwise it sounds faulty so you should return/check.

No problem, that's what prompted this video as I've had a friend say the same which I thought was odd!

I’d totally agree with this, my St Lucia had instructions that were next to useless! Wish I’d found this before setting up. 3 days in and I’m having to drain it and start over!

@@naomit3225 where did you get your St Lucia from?

@@seonggi-hun4562 from B&Q in September last year. They seem to be quite difficult to find in that size. Argos promises it has them but never has stock, so we just checked the B&Q website every day for about 3 months. Felt like a waste of life at the time, but wouldn’t be without it now!

Same issue here. My Miami version came with no chemicals or even mentioned chemicals in the instructions, which were useless anyway. No I have foamy, cloudy water after just 1 use and so I’ve ordered a maintenance kit to start over.

Hi, I think it varies on a lot of factors, water softness, etc. I've tried both and noticed no real difference. If using stabilised, etc, make sure you use the right filters, some will disintegrate.

Hi Scott. The more you use it the more the temperature will drop. Watch the temperature before lifting cover and during use. Especially if you use the air pump system that pushes cold air through the water so cools it! I'd not expect a pool cover to help much as the supplied inflatable top is quite a good insulator. Feel the exterior walls, top, etc and see if you can feel a lot of heat radiating out to confirm this. They are expensive toys!

Hi thanks so much for replying so you dont think my units faulty? Maybe it's because weve been using it and its only 14oC outside. Do you think O should use the timer to save electricity let's say last use is 10pm then first use 10am what would you do

@@scotthawkins5347 Hi there, yes outside temperature really makes a difference. I doubt it's faulty, check your electricity and when it gets to temperature check that the heater cuts out. It's around 1.2Kw when heater on and a couple of hundred watts when idle. By the sounds of it, the regular use and cold outside temperatures I think you're spot on with your calculations of cost, etc. When it's working hard it will take almost an entire overnight to return to temperature. I've since found how grossly inefficient the heater is, it actually wastes a lot of heat (Feel the egg, is it warm? yes, then it's wasting energy!). But not much you can do about that unfortunately! Sorry I don't have a way of saving, I'd say don't use timer to try to cut down as it'll take longer to build up that maintain a base temperature. All the best, Andy

@@junkendriven cheers Andy really kind of you

Andy I set timer last night so switched off at 10:30 and came on at 6am . TEMP AT 9AM 36 so ready for use at midday I think . This has saved me 7 hours of electricity and should show a huge energy reduction

Hi Richard, It may say that in the instructions but I've never really found an issue not turning it off. In theory some debris may get dragged into the pump and heater system when you remove it whilst it's still running.
