Intex Inflatable Hot Tub Has Black Carbon Flakes In The Water

Many of the particles are finer than the the typical pool wand and I have to put a panty hose over the skimmer to actually catch them up. I assume they are carbon, maybe some corrosion adhering and flaking off the heating element? If you use a Vicks vaporizer you are left with the same similar black flakes, which makes me think its carbon. When it comes to ordering pool and spa supplies online in Canada is by far the best option. They carry everything from chemicals to replacement pumps to entire pool kits, with free shipping options and more “in stock” items than any other Canadian online retailer. If you’re looking for the ultimate Intex PureSpa experience, we recommend you go with the 28409E model.

I think the bacteria builds up in there and eats away at the hoses and the spits the stuff out. I made a pvc cap with a filter to screw on the end of the jet that puts water back in the tub so flakes don’t spit out. Would increasing calcium hardness help protect the heating element and prevent flaking. I know my CH needs to be a certain level in the pool to protect my pool heat exchanger. Is there something in my water balance that I can do to stop these flakes from getting in the hot tub?

I strongly endorse the use of Basecrete products to all concrete pool owners. A hot tub is a luxury purchase that all Americans wish they could afford. However, spending $15,000 or more on a hot tub for your patio or yard is not a pragmatic financial decision in this economy.

The tub really offers you a great deal with its great performance and attractive design. Most inflatable Intex spas use this S1 style of replacement filter cartridge, model number 29001E. Buying filters in bulk is the cheapest way to keep your spa water clean and minimize how often you need to be degreasing and cleaning filter elements.

If you don’t have this electrical point available, you might have to call a qualified electrician to come over and wire in your hot tub. Intex blowers run on a 110-volt power system so that you can connect them to a standard electrical socket for use. This feature makes them intex purespa a portable solution that you can link up to an electrical extension cord. This spa supposedly fits up to 4-persons, but we think three people will be the maximum that can fit comfortably in this tub. It’s perfect for couples that want to enjoy a relaxing soak together.
