Good point.

Thanks guys. So I did find the Ahhsome packet. It was between paperwork. So should I'm guessing that Ahhsome should be used and then drain the hot tub and refill. If that is the case do I need to do this on my first fill? I read above that they wet test it and yes, I'm very aware of biofilm...

Hmm, they maybe did give me some ahhsome or something like that. I never heard of it. I saw it in the bag of stuff they gave me and saw it said "clarifyer" so I assumed I would chuck that in the trash. I guess I have too much pool experience and no hot tub experience. I don't have an CYA on...

Hi, Never had a hot tub before. We got a Nordic Escape SE delivered. I read the hot tub section and I plan on dichlor to bleach. They told me to add the entire bottle of Metalgone and run for 2 days before anything else. I have a well. I just want to confirm this stuff won't cause loads of...

Thanks so much for your reply. It makes total sense. I always open early anyhow. If not for the swimming, just for the nice looking backyard in spring.

Our pool is new this year and the closing was included in the price so we let the pool company close it. They had to install the cover anyhow. I prefer to do this on my own but figured it was free so I'd let them. But I wasn't home. They told me they added algaecide and shock and then said I...

Stick burner.

We don't get along with the neighbors on that side. ;)

Okay one last post for this one. Finally really really done. We just had some pictures done and I think these ones really show it off. Sorry I'm a show off but if it gives people ideas then it's a good thing...

Finally done...

Thanks. It will look a lot better once they are done cutting and we wash off all the stone dust covering everything.

Well there were no replies to last update. But I guess I'll post pics of the progress. Lots of changes, canceled stamped concrete and went with pavers. Long story but concrete guy wasn't very thorough in his quote and not attentive to question. This has gotten crazy expensive but here's...

Is this a problem with the Autopilot systems? I have a new pool and posted about my high salt but got no replies on that issue. I'm at about 4800. Wondering if I should lower it. My well water sucks so I'm not inclined to replace the pool water I paid for.

Good evening. My second chemistry post here. Last test was a few days ago and pH was 7.8. CYA 80. FC was 3.0. Salt was 4800, put in by the pool builder. So he set my SWG at 50% when installed. Today my FC is up to 11. My pH was also high at 8.2. I've managed to drop the pH with muriatic...

Thanks. I'll just keep the pump running. I don't know how to add something like that. I guess I can research it at some point. Heck I don't even see a way to turn off the unit without using the circuit breaker.
