Thanks Dan, Appreciate it. I think we need some smart TFPers to develop a slow disolving, chlorine tablet that is free from CYA, doesn’t add calcium or TDS, doesn’t ,t degrade on the shelf, etc. that we could throw in floater. Given that it was developed by TFPers, it would be open source...

Thanks Yippee, many of the other name brand bleach brands up here, Old Dutch, etc. Seem to have fiber protection technology. Wanted to stay away from the non- name brands given the weak concentrations. Thanks Sean

Good Evening Folks, Wondered where other Canadians source their bleach/liquid chlorine over the winter. The liquid chlorine I get from Canadian Tire is showing a date of manufacture of March. Given everyone is closing their pools for the winter, I don't suspect that Canadian Tire will...

Excellent, many thanks ! Sean

City water, never tested it, though I would be surprised. Is there a specific test I can complete to check ?

Hi and thanks ,the product i was speaking about was the beachcomber Eliminate., Supposed to eachcomber Eliminate is a liquid product formulated to prevent the staining of iron, copper and magnesium on hot tub surfaces and equipment. It is designed as a one-time use bottle at startup...

Good Morning , Have switched to the ahh-some pipe cleaner and had a question about the OEM brands of corrosion inhibitors that are recommended for each drain/fill. Is there a non- OEM brand of inhibitor that is better , is this additive required/recommended by the good folks here at TFPs...

thank you both, will flush and ahh-some this weekend !

Hi , i used the beachcomber branded one, though have ordered the 6/8 oz soze of your cleaner for all future tub drains

Thank-you, I had enquired earlier as to thought on the bromine alternative as bromine bank then floater/ periodic shocking process appealed to me. Some folks, much more knowledgeable than I suggested that as i have 3 kids - 7,9 and 11, that bromine would have difficulty keeping up with the...

Thank you, temperature currently is 100 F, ill raise the levels of free chlorine re: the CYA / chlorine chart, is the 24 hour loss of FCl reasonable to occur on a regular basis. many thanks sean

Good Day Folks, apologies if this has already been asked/answered but I searched and did not find. I have a 430 gallon hot tub, dichlor/bleach now, liquid chlorine 10.3%. CYA is a little higher than I would like @ 50 ppm., Al 100, pH 7.5, CH 150. Usually bring up to 4-6 ppm FCl and the CCl...

thanks to both of you, very much appreciated. think I knew the answer , but wanted to confirm with those more knowledgeable.

Good Day Folk, Have switched to the Diclor/bleach method, and now using liquid chlorine after the CYA is at the right level. The manufacturer recommends care free once / week. It reported acts as a oxidizer, clarifier, etc. Do I need to use this outside of the usual liquid chlorine...

Good Day Folks, A quick question which I have tried to find the answer to but couldn't locate on this forum. I am thinking of switching from dichlor/bleach to Bromine. I have 3 young kids, 7,9,11 who use the tub about 3-4 times a week and my wife and I who use the tub 5-6 times a week...

Many thanks for the quick reply, very much appreciated. Sean

Good Morning All, Sincere apologies , waited for the FCl to drop to .5 and then added first about oz. Which brought it upto 2.5 ppm and than added another oz and which saw it raised to 4.5 ppm...obviously human error the first time. One quick question, how much water should I dilute the...

Thanks very much will do ! Sean

Thanks folks, the shot glass actually had 1 oz, 1 1/2 oz markings so reasonably sure I was accurate , though I have to admit that since I passed 50 years…..human error is starting to be the most frequent causal factor. Will let you know the results of the second try, levels have come...

Thanks for your reply. I really don't think it's possible, I am using a mason jar that I poured water into using a shot glass for each oz. That said anything is possible, I'll double check next time, probable try half and see what I get. I thought I might have done something wrong rather...

Good Evening, Switched from Dichlor to bleach today given the information I received from reading the numerous posts related to the negative effects of CYA on the FCL. Today took the initial measurement using Taylor FAS DPD kit , 1 PPM FCl, less than .5 CCl, AL, pH, CH within specs and CYA at 50...

Many thanka joyful noise, I wasnt aware and so very good to know. I will get some cleaner before the drain…… sean

Thank-you Mdragger88, I had read the post and concerned about the cumulative effects of the CYA, me so was trying to see if I could minimize my addition of Dichlor. Will transition to bleach or bromine soon, though with the kids heading back on Tuesday was trying looking to keep the tub...

Firstly, let me thank all who contribute to this site and the owner/operator. Being a new hot tub owner, I have learned more here in the last month than I thought I needed to learn. The altruism displayed here is nothing short of impressive.I have a quick question as it relates to shocking...
