Project #6 Hot tub

This last weekend, we cleaned up our hot tub. We haven't had it in operation for a few months.



We first emptied it, using our submersible pump. We bought it last year. Before we had it, we had to empty it bucket after bucket. (Took a long time!)



Then we cleaned out the tub from all the "scum". It wasn't as bad as we thought it would be.



After we cleaned it, we filled it up part way, then emptied it out again, and wiped it out.



Then filled it.




Tonight we plugged it in...and...unfortunately, we ran into some problems. The power came on, and the jets started, but then quickly stopped. We tried it over and over again, and then finally we heard it...poof, and then the power light went out, and we smelt an electrical burning smell. So, now we are going to have to call the company and see if we have a warranty left. We bought it 2 years ago at Costco, and they always stand by their products, so if the warranty is out, hopefully Costco will help. At any rate, we are very disappointed!
