Nice to see the days getting longer again! I'm looking forward to the arrival of spring (once I've gotten the skiing bug out of my system, of course)

Best wishes to all of you for a lovely Friday!

Naturally, that's all part of the pump, so I can't just replace it with a piece of heater hose. $50 for the pump, then disassemble the new pump, remove the 'ceramic' shaft that breaks, disasemble the old pump, remove the carbon fiber shaft I just put in, install that in the new pump, reassemble the new pump, install that into the control head and fill the tub. The water temp was 80* Tuesday morning when I left and hit 96* some time that day. I got home last night, no leaks and temp was holding at 96* :tup:

Happy Gubment check day! I hope all are doing well today and ready for the weekend and moving forward into the last month of the first quarter if you can believe already. Yes, Spring is upon us and that means psychopathic weather from now to Easter for us but the warm days are the best. I can't wait to spend time lounging in our newly landscaped back yard. Please come share it with us if you are near by as we are only an hour and half from Las Vegas and we have a couple spare bedroom and RV hookup. As for the track day Florida meetup that sound like a great idea and agree about either a fall, winter or spring date. I will see what I can arrange Mr. Elmo and ssfirehawk. It would a great way to honor our brother Eddie as he still serving us in the Army Reserves. He has deployed in Iraq for the past year and will be there until July. I am supposed to play in a senior softball tournament this weekend. I will probably sit the bench, drink beer and pinch hit if they need me. Got a cortisone shot in my left knee yesterday and it is already feeling normal again. I told my orthopedist about my symptoms I am experiencing on the left side of my body and he said I have a compressed disc is my neck. I just stared...glared at him an said really, thank you for that great and wonderful news. We both start laughing, I was just like WTF I am turning into Rusty. I know we look a like, and the only difference he is several inches taller but dang at this rate my wife will be sending me to auction like Rusty did with his motorhome LMAO. Anyway, time to make that bacon! Yawl, be safe and sanitary!!!

I bought my hot tub in 2004. I'm on my 3rd pump/motor combo. When the pump seals let go. It takes out the motor. :icon14: Found out that the amount of chlorine used has an effect on the seals. Instead of bringing the level up in one shot. I dose it twice weekly. Got the new cover on with the hydraulic lift. That lift is NICE! :happydance:

Mine only needs about a tablespoon of chlorine once a week. I keep bromine tabs in floaters all the time. I talked to the spa store out here and that was their recommendation. :tup:

I was throwing in 2 oz at a time. Now just 1 oz twice weekly. I keep the ph at 7. Chlorine works best at that level.

Boy that was a long night. Well, they have me doing this stuff so when things go wrong I can fix it quickly. Things don't always go wrong but when they do, it can get ugly quick. Last night was one of those nights.

LOL, that was for work. We did some retunes last night moving spectrum around and taking sites off air to do it. All major network work is only done in the Maintenance window. 1am to 6am. We have to have everything back up by the end of the MW or there are tons of questions and paperwork. We ran into a hardware limitation last night I had to work through. One more retune next week and this will be a tough one. It will be very easy for things to go south.

Anyone using an Amsoil oil filter and experiencing low oil pressure. This was posted on the Power Wagon forum.



Some customers that have used the AMSOIL Ea15k50 oil filter, with the identified vehicles listed above, have experienced low oil pressure indicators while operating their vehicles. Typical symptoms include check engine lights and visual loss of oil pressure on the gauges. This situation does not affect all these vehicles, but some vehicles are affected more than others.
Through AMSOIL testing and research with technology partners, we have learned the problem occurs with any oil filter but is exacerbated by high-performance filters like AMSOIL Oil Filters. Our high-efficiency media filters out more particles of smaller sizes than most other filters, reducing flow and overall oil pressure. In no way will this oil-pressure reduction affect the engine; AMSOIL Oil Filters include bypass relief valves to ensure appropriate oil volume to critical components.
Because AMSOIL Oil Filters provide higher efficiency than OEM and other aftermarket filters (WIX, FRAM, Mobil), they capture more deposits, helping reduce engine wear. Unfortunately, due to the large amount of deposits being captured by the AMSOIL Ea15k50 oil filters, the filter is plugging before the end of its recommended service interval. For these vehicles, we are recommending using a WIX oil filter in place of your AMSOIL Oil Filter. WIX filters are designed with the OEM service interval in mind and are better suited for more frequent changes.
FAQ
1. I used the EA15K50 before, can I continue to use it?

a. We warrant this filter to 15,000 miles however have found it not able to reach that service interval in these trucks. In order to reduce the frequency of filter changes, we recommend the WIX 57060 changed at the OEM interval. We will continue to research this OEM issue with the goal to again supply a high efficiency filter.

2. I used the EA15K50 before, did it harm my vehicle?

a. No, the EA15K50 is a high efficiency filter that captured more deposits, helping reduce wear. It was just not capable of providing this exceptional protection to our normal 15,000-mile warrantable service interval.

3. Can I use Signature Series still with extended drains?

a. Yes, we certainly recommend our Signature Series oils paired with the WIX filter. The high cleanliness capability of our oil is certainly what these trucks need. Follow our normal warrantable service interval pertaining to our Signature Series oil and change the WIX filter at OEM interval and topping off with oil after the oil change.

4. What can I do to combat these oil deposits?

a. We recommend using our Signature Series oil and changing the WIX oil filter at OEM interval. We also recommend you combine our Engine and Transmission Flush (FLSH) at every other oil change.

I use them for my truck, but it is a Cummins 5.9. My car I only use Factory Nissan filters. Same for the Vette, only A/C Delco filters.
