We got a free hot tub with a leak and over the course of a month fixed it, and turned her into a beautiful addition to our backyard oasis!
Still planning a few adjustments and finishing touches, but so proud of our work!
We need several different jets in our (new to us) hot tub. It is a discontinued LA Spa - 7x7, with a lounger. We do not know the year or the model (would love that info if anyone can tell from pics!)
Any idea what jets these are so we can order replacements? Looks like the biggest one is a 5-inches and the small ones are 3-inches.
Also - are these empty and ready for inserts? Or are there still parts to be removed from the old jets?
Our LR4 lives in a closet under a laundry shelf, which made refilling the hopper a real pain — especially with three cats draining it constantly. I wanted a gravity-fed reservoir, so I wouldn't have to crouch in a closet every other day.
Inspired by this fellow Reddit post, but without a 3D printer, I improvised with stuff from Amazon and my shed:
The system is self-regulating — once the hopper is full, the litter column in the pipe stalls out, and as the cats use the box, it slowly gravity-feeds to refill. No moving parts, no electronics!
Still a work in progress — would love ideas to improve it.
