*UPDATE********** Good morning. After a full night of once again rain rain rain I am glad to report I still have a chlorine reading of 12! In plain english I just needed to take the amount of shock for my pool and double it to break thru.

:whoot: Hoooray :whoot: I think. I attacked my pool with a vengance TToday is very cloudy no sun in sight so I superchlorinated it based on the pool calc saying my target shock rate is 14. after adding the recommended dose I tested at 3 so 2 hours later it began to drop so I attacked again and...

each panel sits in the track of the upper and lower frame then they interlock wiht each other. however it is the upper and lower parts that are rotted as well i am not sure i can remove the top and bottom since the lip of the tub rest on it.

Maybe someone can help me. I got a hot tub its an old American spa signature series (they went out of busines) and the outer cabinet is rotted any ideas on how to replace it with something nicer and more durable. the tub sits on the lip. where can i get materials to do it. its old but it was...
