OK, all you spa Dichlor/Bleach practitioners, I’m curious as to how you actually add bleach to your hot tub on a regular basis. My wife and I are senior citizens and more than a little shaky when it comes to pouring out and adding a couple ounces of Clorox bleach to the tub. Historically...

Based on the excellent information shared by members of this forum, I have joined the “satisfied customer” list by installing a liquid chlorine injection system, using the 15-gallon drum and the Stenner pump that several others have used. My setup is shown in the following photos: As you...
