I’ve had my hot tub for several years and the very first ahhsome purge I did was by FAR the grossest. Knowing what I know I would 100% do a purge before you ever use the hot tub. You may not even be able to get the water clear and fresh without doing an initial purge. Mine was a nightmare until...

For sure and thanks again for all the help

Sage wisdom here. Our new tub was funky within a month and we couldn’t keep FC in it. Just washed with Ahh-Some so we will see. Here is the thread from mine Pool math applied to very small spa? Pool math applied to very small spa?

Well the spa is up and running clean and balanced. Hopefully to stay fresh for a few months now!!

You good after that storm? Updates?

Just got a chance to run the Ahhsome. Draining it right now. Do I run another Ahh-Some cycle or just fill it up with clean water, run it and drain it? Yuck [emoji23]

Perfect. Thanks again!

Is Home Depot liquid chlorination at 10% any good if I make sure it’s not out of date?

Sweet thanks a ton for all the replies. I’m gonna keep at it. The tub has been such an awesome addition to our lives and I’m eager to get it humming along smoothly!

Oh yes I did read this post. It’s the reason that I bought the test kit and brought my CYA down to 40

Ok. I’ll get liquid chlorine from Leslie’s on the way home as I’m out of Clorox as of this morning. But still can’t keep FC in the spa at all

Uh oh I’ve never used ahhh-some. Just before your post I ordered some. I ended up reading somewhere else on here that I should use it even on a new spa. [emoji23]

Chlorox bleach 6%. I am entering this in pool math. It doesn’t matter how much bleach I am adding as I’ve added as much as 16 oz before, my FC is always zero by morning

Also the tub is used 2 or more hours a day every day between my wife and I and our son. It’s kept covered when not in use and temp is set at 104 (because I can’t set it hotter)

Hi. I have had my spa a couple months really trying to use the numbers in Pool math. For the first two weeks I followe the advice of the spa guy that told me “just dump a capful of dichlor in every Sunday” I had astronomical CYA numbers but since have drained and refilled half the spa to get 40...
