Hi VinnyinNJ, (sorry for my late reply) Thank you for sharing such a detailed and insightful explanation of the different disinfectants used in hot tubs and the importance of maintaining a rigorous disinfection routine. Your experience and practical advice offer a valuable perspective...

Thank you for your reply. I appreciate and understand many of the points you've made, and I plan to consult with my specialist on my next visit this week. That being said, it seems there may have been a misunderstanding or oversight regarding my primary concern. I'm not questioning the safety...

Sorry to hear about your wife :( I have a tiny idea what she must be going through... Good to know your finding the dichlor/bleach method and aquaclarity works.. are you doing ahhsome purge (gel?) then weekly aquaclarity? How often do you change the water/purge?

thanks for your reply! Noted on sanitzer, I am doing my best, but without SWG it's hard to keep up. (think travel, hurricanes, torrential rain, sickness etc). Might have to consider Bromine but that just seems like more stuff & $ and still have to add chlorine weekly.

Hi Ahhsomeguy, Thank you for your response and for your attention to my past usage of Ahh-some products. While I appreciate the importance of proper maintenance practices, my main concern revolves around the potential link between benzalkonium chlorides (BACs) and antibiotic resistance. I've...

Hello everyone, I've been using Ahh-some products (gel and Aqua Clarity) to purge and maintain my prior hot tubs. Recently, I was diagnosed with infections caused by Pseudomonas and Mycobacterium Abscessus (MAC), and I've been undergoing treatment with multiple antibiotics. I've come across...

Thanks for the reply! I probably should have mentioned the tub had been filled and used for about a week.. when I took the filter out it was surprisingly dirty/discolored Thank you for the help, I much appreciate it. I probably should have mentioned that the hot tub had been used about 10days...

I am about to purge new A series tub and need to know if I should remove the simplicity filters and place them in the tub (as was the case with the round filters). Specifically, should I remove the filter from its housing and place in tub or leave in the housing with filter in the tub? I will...

Not bad.. if they added a specific aqua clarity they could then add a reminder.. right now I use a note but maybe your idea is better.

Awesome.. for me more important the aqua clarity/hot tub type but I hear others ask for Bromine so… figured I would mention it.

Cool thank you I wish PoolMath had a Hot Tub selection (with acrylic and bromine options), a option for “add Aqua clarity” when adding chemicals… and a reminder to add aqua clarity weekly (or a you haven’t added aqua clarity for X days) Maybe I should have created a new thread…

I have a bullfrog hot tub. Just pondering if “Tye of Pool” in poolmath should be fiberglass? I assume so, but figured it doesn’t hurt to ask the experts.

I tend to go into deep-end but somehow pulled back to simple.. this time. :)

I was concerned with flying objects/things hitting the top and damaging it.. there is an LCD panel and the acrylic.. minimally concerned with the hot tub moving but considered it as a possibility. Cap over the cover with sandbags did the trick.

Thank you all for the help regarding this.. In the end I decided to go with a hot tub cap/shield and light sandbags on top of that (the dealer's tech gave me that recommendation..) During the hurricane (turned tropical storm) the ends of the cap lifted a bit but no damage to the hot tub. The...
