Thanks for the response. I updated my signature. After shocking and adding clarifier 4 days in a row, the water went back clear. Still no idea why it went cloudy. The spa is only a few months old. I purged with Ahhsome after the first month.

Hi All I re-filled my spa about 6 weeks ago. Got it balanced right away and levels have been good all along. About 4 days ago the water went cloudy for some reason. I've shocked it twice and added clarifier twice. It got about 50% better but still not clear. Levels are currently Br 3.5...

No, the readings are per the taylor test kit

Hi All New hot tub here. Purged with Ahhsome and refilled with well water. I read the stickies at the top of the forum and am using sodium bisulfate to lower pH/Alk and aeration to raise pH. I've been able to stabilize the pH at 7.8 with Alk at 20. Any higher alkalinity (even at 40-50) and...
