@@danielpadgett2831 thanks for the comment!

@@kathleenheckman8397 you are most welcome! I hope the video helps! The process was very straightforward. If it makes you feel better I too was getting water loss from a combination of the stairs and skimmer (I've done a video on that as well) personally I didn't notice any deflection in my top step but it wouldn't hurt to drill some relief holes depending on the type of foam you use. Good luck with the repair and keep us posted on your progress!

I'm not too sure how to do that tbh, you still need to be able to get the pool deck level and don't have a ton of room to operate.

Thanks for the kind words!

You could but you need to have it be able to flow uphill to address the settled void. Also if you need to access plumbing in the future you ideally don't want it encased in concrete. Hope that helps!

Yep! I figured this was a much better option, and so far the stairs are rock solid, couldn't be happier! Researching solutions currently to make the steps look visually appealing for the fall. Stay tuned!

My top pool step is cracked and has some pretty big gashes in it. We already filled in with sand underneath and it has held for a long time but the top step needs to be sealed and painted. I could try using the foam for the top step to reinforce it and seal it. What do you think of that idea

What did you use to patch that area on the top step

@@javajuls2u I used white LePage marine grade epoxy to fill the holes. Hope that helps!

Hi there. It took a few weeks to dry the cores out, I did it inside my house. Anything that promotes evaporation is your friend in this situation. Airflow, heat, a dehumidifier or dessicant packs will all help with the process. Remember it takes the cover weeks to months to accumulate that moisture so it takes time to pull it out!

Hi Linda! Thanks for the comment. Option one would be to tape off the area, sand the area down, and re gel coat it with a white tint to match. This is time consuming and needs so e artistic flair to make it look good. My plan on the other hand is to find a white epoxy coating with some grip or traction in it and literally just paint it on. Keep us posted on the repair, thanks for sharing!

Thanks for the kind words! Hope the video helped!

My gut says do the spray foam first. If you are using a lower expansion foam it's going to take the path of least resistance and if it's pushing up against the fiberglass I bet there is enough rigidity there to hold the shape. Once you get the foam in and it's solid then I would just the epoxy or an actual fiberglass patch. You got this!!! Let us know how you make out with the repair!

Thanks for taking the time to vent, hope that made you feel better! This video has helped thousands of people extend the life of their covers and keep money in their pockets, I'm not sure what's dumb about that.. take care!

Thanks for the comments, good luck on the project!

Hey there! You can play with the viscosity by adding either MEK or more pellets. I aimed for a white glue like consistency. If I recall correctly I had about a 10 min or so working time with it and I gave it over a day to cure to be safe. It was rock hard once I was done and it has held up well so far! Hope that helps!

Love to hear that it worked out! Yes it depends on the quality of the ABS pellets and MEK overall. Happy Skimmer equals a happy water bill!

Hi there. On this camper it's a hydraulic slide powered by an electric hydraulic pump. There will be a manual crank of sorts to let you bring in the slide room in the event of a failure. Hope that helps.

Thank you for your reply. Where is the manual crank located? As long as it is closed, it can be transported.

@@MrMakako1102 it should be near where I show in the video. I would secure the slide room from the inside just to be safe.

The challenge is there is no cement under those fiberglass stairs it's mostly sand,maybe a touch of aggregate. Closed cell foam is used now to level concrete so I figured I would be good with it in this application, but I get what you are saying, there is no "rebound" to the foam... I'll monitor them over time, but I'm not exaggerating when I say they are rock solid! Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment, means a ton to me!

Thanks for the kind words, my thoughts exactly touch ups would be a breeze

So far it's been good, it will be going on 2 years this summer and for the cost and time invested, I couldn't be happier with the result!

Thanks as always!!

Some great advice! Thank you!

Thanks so much! Molly is the best!

When you turn the gas knobs, do you hear the gas? If the BBQ only ignites with a lighter then your igniter likely needs replacing.

Lol! Thanks for the kind words! My tub is a Sundance, so basically a jacuzzi clone lol 😂 if it minor leaks everywhere (and not pump seals) this stuff could be a HUGE help: ( Marlig Industries Pool and Hot Tub Leak Sealer from Fix A Leak - 1 Litre / 32 oz Bottle a.co/d/jfpyEWf ) I've used it in the past and it's done a solid job! Just know that once you've used it and got the links under control do a water change... Your arm/leg hair will thank you lol!

The info on the connectors on the edges was key. I got the camera swapped in about 45 min. I tried a leak seal fluid on hot tub a couple times but it did not seem to last. May have been sprouting other leaks. Several of the small jets drip. As well as my filter box. Hard to find parts. And when I do they are $$$$

@@stephenchico2418 right on glad to hear you got it done! Yeah the older tubs do require a bit of TLC but once you get them right, you are good to go! I learned most of what I know by having to replace literally every part of mine lol!

Awesome! Glad it could help

We have to be sure they are 100 percent ABS pellets... If they are taking that long to dissolve that may be an issue. Give it some time and see if they dissolve.

Hey there! It's actually been almost 2 years, the repair held up very well! Good luck on the project!

@@RegsChannel thanks! Glad to hear. I opened the pool two days ago. And the hush pump failed.. So now have some other work to take care of before the cover!

@@philipchristian9935 same here just got my pool running last week, I'll be uploading more pool content over the next couple of weeks as soon as I can find time to edit it!

I added music to cover up the background noise. Thanks for taking the time to comment, hope the video helped you out.

Because it's a Chrysler product? Lol yeah I was asking myself the same thing once I dug into it. I honestly considered drilling out the plastic lens and pumping epoxy or something in there to fill that gap... I still have the old camera who knows might be time to experiment!

Repair has held up fantastic! The longer you give it the better but I would want to give it at least a solid 24 hours. I was in the same boat as you it was insane how much money I saved on the water bill alone!

Well thanks for the kind words!! Much appreciated :)

Actually it's been almost 2 years, it's held up surprisingly well! Multiple wraps and a ton of tuck tape for the win lol

Hey! Thanks for the kind words. Just so I'm clear, are you saying that you have 2 separate switches, one for the light, the other for the fan? Or are the fan and light both wired to the same switch. If they are both wired to the same switch that might be a challenge as I don't think the fan is going to like that very much... Clarify the setup for me and I'll do some digging and see what is out there! I know Lutron makes a fancy switch called a "Caseta" that might be the ticket? Let me know!

Thanks for the kind words! I learned from the best lol!

Hmm maybe they are rusted/corroded shut? You could try and spray them with wd40 let it sit for a few min and then try it again. I had to use a bit of force to get mine going.

Thanks for the kind words, you are most welcome!

Hi there, you can use either the existing cover shell or a tarp. Just remember you won't get the same level of thermal insulation and the tub will run more. Could also be a good time to shit the tub down for a water change or any other preventative maintenance you may need to carry out. Hope that helps!

Hey there! Thanks for the kind words! For me, I had a visible slope on each side of the pool deck, if you check out my OG video in the series I had leveled the opposite side that was way worse a few years earlier. For sure check the entire perimeter. Remember a bit of a slope is ok, but if it's like 4+ inches over 2 feet of pool deck that's too much! LMK if you need any advice along the way.

That's for the kind words! Good luck with the repair!

Great question! I ordered from these guys: luxebbq.ca/ had everything I needed at a decent price as well! Good luck with the repair, it's well worth the effort!

If you can find closed cell foam board at the hardware store that's your best bet as it should stand up to water much better than an open cell. Regardless if it's open or closed cell I would wrap and tape it as I showed in the video and you should be back in business! Hope that helps!

@@RegsChannel Thanks. I need to reinforce it somehow in the middle with some aluminum or steel so it doesn't sag again and snap.

Thanks for the comment! You could either tarp it or use the existing cover without the cores to keep debris out of the tub. If doing this, just remember there is no thermal barrier when doing this so the tub will run more than normal if you do this. I did mine in the summer and we set records for heat lol! Just something to keep in mind.

Dude you can see me emptying the bagger into the yard waste bag. I pulled one full bag out and the bagger was stuffed after the second round... Not sure how that makes the video clickbait, but to each their own I guess.

Right on, good luck with the repair!

Hey there! Best of luck on the repair! Actually it's been almost 2 years this summer and it has held up quite well. I can feel it is getting a bit heavier, but my exterior cover is also showing its age, but overall it was worth the effort in my opinion!

​@@RegsChannelMy nipples are totally itchy from the powerful Aero Spa ozone system that I use in my tub!

Right on, glad it worked! Hope you get to enjoy the season!

Love to hear that! Glad the video helped! Hope you have a great pool season!

Hey there! Yes, it has held up quite well so far! The initial plan was to try and get at least 1 year out of the fix, and I'm actually closer to 2 years on it so far! Being able to get another 1-2+ years out of the cover for like 30$ worth of materials and minimal effort seems well worth it to us! Once the vapor barrier breaks down again, we will then be at the crossroads of either a new cover, or attempting a repair, however my cover is currently going on almost 9 years already. Hope that helps!

@@RegsChannel thanks for the prompt reply! Sounds great!

Just one, still have some left!
