CCH Commercial Feeder on Residential

Looking for alternatives to the shitty Poolife feeders. I found the CCH tabs to be a significantly better product than the NST tabs however I can only find the commercial feeder for
CCH. Has anyone installed one before and is it practical to try and fit it into a residential set up?

Still have a few clients that have the older offline original system they came out with under the optimight tabs and they’re starting to get frustratingly annoying to keep running even with proper chems/keeping LSI slightly lower as per the poolife rep.

Boot dryers

If you don’t have a boot dryer with heat/ozone options you’re fucking up. I’ve had these hiking boots for the past 1 1/2 years and they don’t smell at all and I wear them every day of the spring, summer and half the fall.

What’re yall using for your boot/shoe care?

(Shout out natural chemistry on the coozie, sponsor my next wrap /s)

Max e therm union threads smoothed over

It appears all my sources have sold out of the rest of their stock in the connector tube 77707-0017. Finally kicking myself for not saving old manifolds. Can I just slap a high temp 2 inch union on there? The heat is getting to me I just want to make sure I’m not being an idiot

BBB Accreditation

Anyone here pay the yearly fee to be “accredited” by the BBB? We did for the last year and had 2 leads come through and neither landed.

I’m wondering if this is even worth it? We don’t attend any of the seminars but have considered a billboard in the potential future where we would get a discount on theirs if I remember correctly. Just wondering if I’m burning money here.

Calcium dropped suddenly now there's other issues

https://preview.redd.it/44wd5b92r3ch1.png?width=1385&format=png&auto=webp&s=ed0389bea09bdad93cc3f351ad4ae3aa0f3c88df

I have a client that's a salt system, they're on SC-1000 (have been for months) and we treat the pool via range and LSI chemistry. It's a plaster pool and the muriatic acid is prediluted in a 5gal bucket before addition.

The calcium took a steep drop around the time there has been access calcification on the salt cell (tcell) and there's been a bunch of calcium flaking off into the pool. I'm assuming the calcium powder in the pool is from the cell reversing polarity which makes sense but at this point they're reporting an ounce or more of this "debris" their dolphin is picking up and it's even more with swimmers. Usually I would chalk this up to normal cell behavior because of the self clean polarity bs but the steep calcium drop while CYA staying constant has me second guessing what's going on here.

For what it's worth I cleaned the cell 4 weeks ago and one of my techs had to clean it again last week or the week before and it was pretty caked.

Need some help to ease their mind and help my techs from having to vacuum every week

32m Roast me

From right to left the plumbing stubs are

  1. Pool main drain
  2. Skimmer
  3. Spa Main Drain
  4. Spa Main Drain (for jets)
  5. Spa Jets
  6. Skimmer
  7. Spa Spill Return
  8. Pool Returns
  9. Air Blower Line

I was subbed out to plumb this pad. I did what I felt was best considering everything. Id love for some critiques though. Racked my brain for a while and this is what i ended up coming up with.

Check valve between heater and cell coming, chill.

Edit - The plumbing stubs weren’t up to me

Edit 2 - I do genuinely want criticism on this, I know the stubs aren’t ideal and there’s a ton of 90’s and shit but I want to know what I could have done better. That’s how we do better as a whole

Anyone have any info on a Aquarest 600 and the heat recovery system?

I’m a bit stumped here. I’ve never seen a heat recovery system before, and I don’t believe I’m looking at one right now to be fair.

This is a 120v Aquarest Elite 600. I bought it from someone on fb marketplace saying it needed a heating element. I figured why not because I can get those cheap from horizon or spp. From what I’ve gathered, this is a friction heat system (I’ve never come across that in the field). So I did some research through Claude and I guess there’s some sort of jacket or something that’s supposed to go around the motor for water to pass through? It doesn’t seem like anything has been altered though.

It also seems like I’ll need to replace the control board, it was displaying the numbers but now it’s just a backlight.

My 3 questions are, what’s missing/needed as far as “heat recovery”, would it be more cost effective to upgrade to a different spa pack with the ability for a heating element? If going with the upgrade, isthere any cool upgrades I could do to be able to have this through some app to control the light and the temp?

Also, yes I’m aware this is a billiards sub, I’m just more familiar with pools as opposed to hot tubs
