We have had the hot tub for about two years. I guess I really don’t know exactly what to do. We set the frog at 4 and change it every three weeks. This kind of works, but the tub goes cloudy often. Looks like I need to shock the tub, but not sure exactly how to do it. We do the TFP system on the main pool with spectacular results.
It is a Marquis fiberglass 500 gallon hot tub. We use the Frog 1-Bromo-3Chloro-5-Dimethylhydanion inline feeder. (see photo) I think this is the BCDMH brominator in the taylor book. Is this the 2 step or three step system? Should I abandon this system?
Test results for taylor 2006 kit
FAS-DPD test 25ml, two scoops R-0870 powder. 40 drops to clear *.2 = 8.0
CC = 1.6 – can I test combined chlorine with bromine ?
pH = 8.0 – high
CH = 260
Alk = 180
I am thinking of shocking with 12% pool shock, and adding dry acid to lower the pH.
Thanks for the help.
