Thank you for the praise, it's good to hear from a veteran of our industry :)

Glad it helped!

Nope 😂

That is a Covana Oasis! By far the best hot tub cover on the market. Fully automated with the turn of a key and insulated like a hot tub. Peaked to sluff off snow better and ridged to take on the outdoors. You can learn more about them here on Covanas website: covana.com/en/produit/oasis/

@@TakeABreakSpasandBilliards thanks!

@@PFDarkside You're welcome!

Interesting, let me see what I can find out with the TRUE support team.

Here is the reply from the Senior Product Manager at Jacuzzi :) That’s most likely a dipswitch configuration error. They should check on the topside if dipswitch 9 is activated. Should be 3/6/9 activated or 4/6/9 if its setup for 60 amp. As we have mentioned in other info, the wires noted don’t need to be connected to anything at this time

I've seen a few strategies employed to make a loose feather strip stay down. Wrapping it in electrical tape or masking tape to make it bigger is an option that we've seen work the best other than purchasing new feather strips. Your paper idea might work, just the tape will stick to the strip and make for easier handling. And on the pocket facings you can do either strategy. We recently installed someones table where they asked us to double up the rubber end facings and it worked out really nice.

@@TakeABreakSpasandBilliards Great thx 4 getting back to me. I meant double up the facing not bounce. And masking tape sounds like a good idea.

@@tomburns890 Sounds good! Let us know how it works out

Wow, thank you so much for the incredible comment! To answer the first question, the word spas and hot tubs have been used interchangeably for a long time. However, because a spa really just means a place that you go to receive some kind of therapy and relaxation, a hot tub is more specific in that you're getting into a tub of hot water. Then the word Jacuzzi is actually a brand! Jacuzzi invented the at home spa concept in 1941 with their J-300 pump that you place in your bath tub, effectively giving you an "at home spa". They then moved to jetted tubs and then to outdoor hot tubs! So now a days Jacuzzi has become a deonym for hot tubs, but in reality its a brand (just like Kleen-ex, Q-Tips, and Velcro). So that's why they're a "household name" now. Next, to help you out it looks like your alkalinity is too low and that is why you're constantly putting Spa Up in. We want our Alkalinity in the 80 to 120 range. Ultimatly, that's why we are patient with putting Spa Down in because one could overshoot on the pH and Alk scale. At the same time that's why we recommend having on Spa Up on hand just in case it happens. You can try upping your dosage to increase your Alkalinity. You don't have to drain it though, you can still use this water and make it work for you. Second Question, why Frog. King Technologies made the FROG mineral stick back in 1996 and the product coloration was indeed green with a smattering a variety of other colors. Not sure why they went with a frog to lead up something that should be clean, but they've leaned into that moniker for anything else King Technologies made that had to do with active silver mineral sanitizers. I think the blue and grey is to be more appealing to a wider audience and be less corny, since the colors that are popular in the US right now are neutral tones (Grey, black, White, tan) and dark rich colors like navy, burgundy, and maroon. So overall its a branding thing, but at least the product does a good job, haha. Last Question, our loyalty program is that for every dollar you spend you get 5 points. You can then redeem 100 points for $1 off you purchase. That way when you come and shop again and redeem the points you have collected, you're effectively getting %5 off from the last purchase you made. So because its so easy to rack up points, there should always be points to redeem and you will get a better deal on your chemicals than anywhere else because everyone is required to have set prices online! Its a way for me to sneak around Minimum Advertising Price rules from manufacturers so that everyone will can still get the best deal online. Hopefully that answers all your questions for now!

@@TakeABreakSpasandBilliards You are correct. I will keep working up the levels each week when I shock. We have been using it nightly and we have been fine. Since the Frog system needs to be replaced every 4 months you are going to have a steady income. I appreciate the educaton. Thanks

@@billwyatt2449 Haha Thanks Bill! Let me know whenever you need anything else

The TRUE system rocks! We have it on a floor model where we are running nothing but that TRUE system in it with the exception of some Enhanced Shock like once every two weeks when it smells weird. So if you have frog ease in there you could run the levels pretty darn low and still have a nice sanitized tub. We use chemicals and all this stuff to make it so the water is good to use and just how we like it, so if the water looks good and smells good, the it is probably good!

Here's a version without music! :) czcams.com/video/SjKzUzLTywg/video.html

Darn, I'm sorry to hear that friend. We haven't made a Simonis video in a while and its been hard to pin dave down to make one. Hopefully we make one soon!

Very glad to have been able to help!

Thanks for watching! We're in Utah, so I'm not too familiar with those in the industry out in California. If I were you I would contact those closest to you and go with your favorite choice out of those, because having a local dealer that can service you quickly is nice to have.

Great Planes Thick Super Glue Pro CA is what was used in this video, but industry professionals use DAP Weldwood and Barge All Purpose Contact Cement ever since Penguin discontinued their cushion glue. We are currently using Barge on all our cushions.

Thanks!

You may want to contact a furniture restoration company and see what they can do with the wood. You may try to staple it anyways, but most billiard dealers don't have the capabilities to restore old tables like that unless they specifically say they have that capability. That's why I say to seek out a furniture restoration company, and then you can contact your local dealer for cloth installation unless you still want to handle that yourself, which is great if you want to do that!

Check out blatt billiards they restore antique tables

We do have a replacing bumpers video (that's kind of old but people love it). Here's the link, hopefully it can help! czcams.com/video/srqsV4a792U/video.html

Wow thank you so much! I think you're a model viewer!

Championship Invitational is the industry standard for cloth, so you could start with that. The more expensive cloths just have a higher concentration of wool in them which lends to speed performance and less burning.

It is recommended that the bracket be mounted to the secondary filter. That is the filter which doen't have the grate installed in the fitting which you can see when you remove the filter. If you're standing outside the tub and looking down at the two filters, the secondary filter should be the one on the left. The primary filter will be the one on the right with the grate in the filter housing fitting.

We can service tables in the sense that we can install new bumpers and cloth, and in some cases we can even buy replacement parts but on old tables like that where you have to rely on trying to restore or repair the existing the existing wood components you might want to consult a furniture repair service. We can handle the other things like upholstery (installing cloth), leveling, and bumpers though.

Hm I think it would work. You just need something that will staple a good sized staple down into wood without caving into the wood but being able to penetrate to flush as well. Just check your PSI but it should be fine?

Thank you for the compliment! Boy, I wish I knew what the standard is, we use a Duo-Fast Stapler with 1/2 crown and 3/8 leg. Any stapler that gets you good compression that sends a staple roughly that size will do you just fine.

We think its a great work surface when doing pool table service, especially if you properly protect the table with moving blankets like we usually do. In this tables case, it was also going to be a refelt job, so the felt was to be destroyed and replaced.

You're welcome! Glad to have some like-minded people out there haha

​@@TakeABreakSpasandBilliards Do you use glue or staples when you recloth pool table beds? If you use staples, there's a decent demand for more CZcams tutorials on the topic.

@@JCbrewNweld I love that comment, thank you! Hopefully I can get Dave to make a video and show him people want to see more! We use both, but prefer stapling. That's why modern tables always have wood backing so you can staple the cloth down. Older tables or tables with no backing have to get glued down.

Hope you liked the video!

Yup, that's why bumpers need to be replaced. We hope you enjoyed the video!

Wow, thank you!

Glad we could help!

That is awesome, glad we could help!

You're very welcome!

If you use contact cement then you don't need the activator spray. If you use super glue then yes you do, because the bumper will sag unless you want to hold it whole time while the glue sets.

I 1000% agree! 100 jet spas are typically low quality too because they're compensating with jet count but never have the jet pressure to back up those jets, so overall you're left with a tub that has lackluster massage and just *looks* good. Very astute observation Wayne :)

Thanks for watching! I wish I could remove the music off of this 7 year old video, but CZcams does not provide the native tools to accomplish this. As such the only other means would be to delete and reupload the video, which would delete all of its search data, making it unavailable to future viewers because the algorithm would no longer recommend the video. However! I have finally re-edited the video with the original footage and made a separate upload! Here is the link to the video: czcams.com/video/SjKzUzLTywg/video.html

I would say it depends on the brand of table you got, because most of these techniques should go apply to those unless you have a Valley table, where you can actually just buy the rails prefelted. Otherwise you just have to see where to secure the cloth down as best you can using staples. Next time we have a tricky table like that we'll try to get a video of it!

@@TakeABreakSpasandBilliards got it covered. It came out fine. thanks.

@@utubedaveg521 Awesome!

1/2 crown and 3/8 leg

que informacion quieres saber

You're welcome!

Glad you think so!

Thanks for watching!

Thanks!!

That's fantastic, these are my favorite kind of comments. Very happy for you Randy!

Welcome!

Great questions, with the super glue we didn't have to wait because we would use NCF Quick to catalyze the reaction. We don't use super glue anymore because it's almost too effective at holding down the bumpers and it sucks to rip them off and take parts of wood with it. Ideally we like to use Penguin Cushion glue, but for some reason Penguin hasn't really been making the cement recently. Billiard manufacturers have been recommending DAP contact cement, and that takes half an hour to get tacky and then with the bumpers attached we let them cure for a day. After that we would cut the rubbers and felt the rails.

Thanks!

That's a pretty great idea, thanks for the suggestion!
