Cloudy Spa After Fresh Fill and 3 Uses

Hi Tony: You definitely need to purge the plumbing and follow the directions that come with the product. It is easy enough to do. You are not saying how old the hot tub is? Have you ever purged the plumbing? Is it new or just new to you? Necessary maintenance in order to enjoy your hot tub for many years is to eliminate biofilm or slime forming microorganisms from the closed loop plumbing and jet system, typically on a 6 month cycle. Even brand new hot tubs and swim spas need purging. Please get a reliable test kit ( not test strips), The kit offered at TFTestkits.net is a bargain for what it will save you down the road. Test regularly and maintain adequate sanitizer at all times. You will not need clarifier if you do this. You need to always drain the hot tub water after a plumbing purge. No way around it Tony. This will pay you dividends. Two adults enjoying a 30 minute soak in 102-104 degree water will introduce over 2 million bacteria, particulates and who knows what into the water. This is why you need to always test with a quality test kit, use An EPA registered sanitizer to maintain adequate levels at ALL times and maintain good water chemistry where your water is balanced. Do this and you and your family will thoroughly enjoy all those serenity soaks for many years to come.
