Hello,
I have a Dimension One Dream model hot tub with a UV lamp and Vision silver ion cartridge for sanitizing. We use leisure time chlorine shock as required as well. A couple years ago the UV lamp failed, which took a while to notice because we don’t always use it regularly. At some point brown flakes started floating around.
No matter what I do I can’t seem to get rid of them. We got a new a UV lamp (the original one was 6+yrs old). Drained the water, new filter and silver cartridge. More flakes. Ran some Natural Chemistry Spa Purge. Didn’t seem to help much or at all.
I’m guessing it’s some kind of slime buildup inside the pipes, but I’m not sure what I can use to get rid of it. No matter how much skimming I do it never really goes away.
Are there different types of purge chemicals that more specifically or aggressively target this type of stuff?
I have attached a couple pics of a chunk in my skimmer, and a pile of them at the bottom when I just recently drained it again. Any suggestions on what might get rid of this stuff for good would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
