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...
