Green/yellow slime growing under spa cover!

[wkussmaul]

Hi,
I am having no trouble whatsoever with my bromine/bleach system as taught on this forum. The water is fine. It's the spa cover that is the problem.

Every couple of weeks I notice a patch of slime growing and spreading from a central spot under the spa cover. I just wiped it off the first time. Today, I wiped it off then poured bleach on it.

Any other tips? Anyone seen anything like this? Strangely, though we've had this spa since 1995, this is the first year that this has happened. BTW this is the second cover I have had, this one is about 6 years old.

It sounds like you have done the best thing to handle it. I would even go further to suggest that you take a spray bottle, add a bleach solution to it (10% should be good), and go ahead and mist the underside of the cover once again. Then, I would maybe take it off the spa and let the underside dry out by flipping it upside down in the sun for a couple of days. Then place it back on and see if it reappears.

OK, thanks, I will try that.

Follow-up: since the bleach treatment, no more slime on the spa cover.
