I have an 2x Aquaflow Flowmaster XP2 pump's in my Spa. One of the pumps was working fine the other day until the capacitor blew-up. We replaced the capacitor today however after only 1/2hr of operation, the capacitor blew-up again. Any idea's what the cause and a resolution?

Making sure Baby sleeps enough?

admin — Wed, 16 Dec 2009 15:57:33 +0000

My son is about 5 1/2 months right now and still going down for a nap about every 2- 2 1/2 hours. Should I be trying to keep him up longer? He sleeps well at night if he's slept a lot during the day. I'm an Exclusively pumping mother so any time I can get to pump and eat is like a day at the spa to me lol.
Also, I would like to hear about other baby schedules, like nap times, waking times, solids, and what time you put your child(ren) to bed at night. When or if you put them on a schedule as well. My hubby says he doesn't want to put our son on a schedule till he can walk, but I'm not sure what to think anymore!
Any help and personal stories would be greatly appreciated.
Wow some great answers! I did use a niple shield with a lactation consultant and my picky son didn't like it as I am very largely breasted so it was awkward and he hates the taste of silicone. It also decreased my milk supply so that he didn't get enough. Oumping is hard but it's almost been 6 months and I'm very proud of that.
I agree about the schedules and I don't want to but am being pressured by my family to put him on a schedule so that when they come visit they can play with him without waking him up, which they do anyway.
Again, wonderful answers!

Sundance Marin Spa Troubleshooting?

admin — Thu, 10 Dec 2009 09:16:47 +0000

I have a sundance Marin.. It blows the GFCI break outside more frequently than not....
Some days it comes up to temp and blows... i've tried turning down the temp... still trips the GFCI..
on occasion I can't even reset the breaker as it trips instantly.... other days it resets just fine and the tub turns on till it trips again.... Any idea ? I have the STA manual .. figured first thing i'd try is disconnecting the heater and see if it stays running...(but the heater does work) It just came out of warranty in April... at that time they did a pre end of warranty service and replaced the circulation pump....

My spa trips breaker when I try to start “jets.” What’s wrong?

admin — Thu, 03 Dec 2009 08:24:42 +0000

Also it makes clicking noise just before tripping breaker. Also, blower and light don't work. Only things that work are heater and heat pump/circulation pump What's wrong?

Need help fixing my Spa.?

I got a free spa that didn't work and I've been working on it to try and figure out what is wrong with it. I get heat, bubbles, but after 2 days or so the water gets gross and it needs to be drained.. I'm assuming its some type of pump I need, but I'm not sure.. Can anyone lead me in the right direction?

Why does my spa trip the main breaker when I try to start jets? Also, blower and light doesn’t work.?

admin — Sat, 17 Oct 2009 15:48:35 +0000

My spa turns on, heats and circulation pump works, but when I try to turn on the jets, I hear a few clicks then the breaker trips on the main panel. Also, the blower and light doesn't work at all. I checked and replaced both fuses and still the same problem. What can I do?

what are disadvantages to putting a spa in the ground?

admin — Sat, 10 Oct 2009 18:01:25 +0000

I got a spa off Craig's list, it is supposed to be above ground but the skirting was ruined and I can't afford a deck anyway. I have 4x4's standing up all around the perimeter and cemented in the ground and 2 1x6's for the spa to rest on. Pumps are above ground, and tubing is new. Will this work? Am I leaving anything out?

My hottub circulates but doesn’t seem to come up to full speed.?

admin — Wed, 07 Oct 2009 20:20:57 +0000

I have 220/240 reading at the spa pack. Light comes on bright. when pumps are turned on it circulates at low volume and the light goes dim. This seems electrical - any suggestions?
Thanks
