So I came home from a 10 day vacation (during which my son was home and adding a 1/2 cup of bleach a day) to a very bubbly spa. Scummy looking bubbles so I shocked for two days. Used bright and Clear twice and rinsed my filters well. Still have bubbles but they look clean white the water is...

I have had a rash for the last six months that the dr can not figure out. Not bacterial not fungal. It gets way worse after using the hot tub (could just be the heat inflaming it, but) I think I may have a problem with the chemicals I am using. I used the chlorine system on my pool and never...

From our hot tub to the sliding door of our house is about 10 feet of cement. After we get out of the hot tub there is a wet path to the door and almost a puddle infront of the door how do we keep from getting ice build up? We have dogs so I can't use salt there...

We have had the tub for about 3-4 months so the Ozonator SHOULD still be working. Once it quits on me I do plan to go to all chlorine. I have yet to see it make a difference in my Bromine levels. I have had to either use the tabs and or use chlorine almost daily since we have had it. (Yes I...

Every time I test my tub lately the Bromine level is low like 0-1. I test daily. So I have decided it needs shocking. Last night I added enough bleach to get the Bromine level to 21.375 this morning it was at 11.25 so I added more chlorine to get it up to 20.25 (10:00am) at 3:30pm it's at...

I have run out of MPS the hot tub store gave me so now I am using bleach. I am using the three step bromide system at the moment. What I don't understand is how to figure out how much bleach to add after we have been in the tub. Just putting the tabs back up n does not raise it high enough...

Ok, the Calcium hardness is 140. I did add some clarifyer and that seems to have helped some. What should the TA be? I have not washed the filters yet. So I should do that. Any suggestions how?

So we have had the tub for two months and so far three of us use it almost every night. The water is clear when still. I am using the bromine system with an ozonator. And Bromine tabs. When the jets run on high we are getting a lot of foam (clean white foam, but foam) We have been very busy...

Can you post a link to he other forum post please!

Yes, I did find that info, (2.25) I actually read through the whole how to use bromine thread, it's just kind of confusing at first. I wanted to use the chlorine method I used for our pool (we moved don't have one now) but was told it wouldn't work with the Ozonator in the tub so now I am...

Ok, so I added calcium booster tested it 70 Then I added more, it should be about 140 it is testing at 0 At the same time I added Leisure time "renew" to give it the initial shock I put in the recommended amount for my tub and now my bromine is measuring 31.25. The test strips say the CH is...

Tub came with starter chemicals. Says to use a whole bottle of Leisure time metal gon. I am on city water, and have seen no scaling or deposits of any kind in my tea pot so do I need this? Water tested before adding anything TA 20 CH 10 PH 7.5 So pool math says to add 6.5 oz (volume) of...

How about th filters? Brand new o should I leave them in during the initial cleanse or remove?

Thank you my husband says he wants to go the concrete route (I was hoping for something faster��) So hopefully this weekend. With using the Ahhsome I have to fill the tub all the way up, do I need to get it up to the right temperature or balance chemicals any? Or do I just fill...

Just got my hot tub delivered today! I was so excited; then they said they could not place it where we want because it is not level enough and the tub would eventually crack. One store we asked they said they could put some planks under the tub and level it that way and it would work so I didn't...

How do you know when the ozonator quits working?

So we ordered a hot tub yesterday, should get it in a couple weeks. It comes with the ozonator, and they want to give me spa marvel to get started, but I am not sure I trust that to keep my spa germ free. So should I ask for the bromine or chlorine starter kit? (Either one will come "free"with...

When should a pool liner be replaced? I have no idea how old this one is, almost all color is gone from the bottom, and there is one place it looks like there is a "fuzziness" to it in about a foot circle. So I know it needs done soon, but can it last this season, I really don't want to wait...

Ok, we got the FC level above 30 yesterday morning and by bedtime it was 24 with CC at 0.5. This morning my test results were 23.5 and 0.5 and yes the water has stayed clear the whole time so I'm done SLAMing, at what level is it safe to swim in? And once it gets down to the right level, how do...

What about my testing question, when I tested it last night it turned colorless at 12 drops but then a few seconds later it looked pinkish again, so I kept putting more drops in till I was over 50 drops. Then it looked more pink than it had earlier at 10 drops... So when do I stop?

Ok last night I got the FC up to 6 (I think see post above about testing question) First thing this morning it's down to (FC)1 and cc is 0.5 So I can't put more in until evening right? Cause once the sun is up it'll just burn it all off, and seeing as the water is clear is there anything else...

So when I test the water, I put the scoop in, swirl till dissolved. Then start adding drops, and swirling, do I stop counting as soon as it turns coulorless? Because it was clear then if I let it sit a few more seconds it looks pinkish. It was clear at 12 drops but then it turned pink just...

Ok, beginning to SLAM. My ladder does not pull out, scrubbed as good as I can. Added 4 bottles, calculator said 4.5 bottles to get the right amount waited a little over an hour tested the water again FC 6.6 cc 2.8 added four more bottles though calculator says 3 should be enough will test once...

I have shocked as directed by pool store over and over and gone through a $100 bucket of calcium chloride(? ) and still the FC level is 0.2-0.4. I have given up on the stores help and want to figure this out! Bought the test kit recommended here. I added one gallon of bleach and the next evening...
