Also Keep in mind that SWCG continuously raises your pH level as it operates. Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk

As stated per Eauclaire. Cheapest to use calcium hypochlorite for seasonal pools. Best deals for Canadians is the HTH 18kg 70% bucket found at Costco. Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk

Re: Winter hot rub care. Need advice Alright. Thanks for the tips everyone

Hi. This will be my first winter with a hot tub and I wanted to know how do you deal with ice built upon your cover, as show below. I want to scrap it off but I'm worried I will damage the cover leather. It's pretty stuck there and I can't just slide it off. Any tips on the best way to approach...

Is it normal that when I add a larger than usual amount of bleach(8.25%) (10oz+) in my 440 gallon bromine tub, the water shows a heavy green tint for roughly 30-45 minutes? Is this just a sign of high bromine levels due to the reaction with the bleach? And if so, shouldn't it show longer? Thanks

Yeah that's the plan. But right now no girlfriend, just a roommate, would be kind of awkward lol

Water was crystal before I emptied it and the ahh some treatment did not reveal that much gunk

It's already dialed in. Thanks

I have both a scumbug and a zorbie . I 'll see what I can do about the swimsuits. Thanks

Hi. I have recently bought a used hot tub. I am using bromine as sanitizer. Fresh fill last Friday. Did the ahhsome treatment. Was not this foamy on the first couple of days, Based on your experience, is this an acceptable level of foam or should I be worried. Bromine 2-4 PH 7.6 CH 140 Borates 50

I just purchased a used 2006 calspa and I was able to find the serial number on a metal plate bolted to exterior panels on the right side of of the heat pump/plumbing assembly. Here's a picture of what it looked like. I was able to find the exact model and series with it.

You can order from http://tftestkits.net as it is not a Taylor product. They can ship it to you. Apollo pools(http://piscines-apollo.com) used to offer his own Borates drop test but He has just recently stopped doing Business. I was able to order it just a couple days prior to his retirement.

Thanks a lot Chem Geek again for the clarification. Indeed I am planing on using sodium hypochlorite so it shouldn't be an issue. The tub came equipped with an ozonator but since it is a 2006 I am not sure in what state it stands so I won't be relying on it.

That would be awesome. Please let us know of the outcome.

Actually no. I visited 3 different pools stores and only one knew what I was talking about. I also tried Wal-Mart but at this time of year they already packed up all the pool/spa products to make place for Halloween costumes. The only other thing I found(as mentioned in the post you referenced)...
