    Hot Springs Freshwater Salt system chlorine production for PoolMath

    Keep in mind too that you are able to manually enter a number for your system. If you enter 0.037 into the 24 hour output field it should carry over into all the sections making it where you’re able to use that number.

    Hot Tub in a Car Crash

    😂😂😂😂 I’ll be floored if it’s that quick. The people your friend is dealing with is very likely in WAY over their heads. They’re likely trying to do the best, but they’re out of their league. As soon as you used the word “fatality” it spelled doom for that hot tub as the legal issues that are...

    Research on Chlorine and cancer????

    https://ehp.niehs.nih.gov/doi/10.1289/ehp.trp110110 Here’s an interesting interview with the doctor who talks about the paper. Make your own call, but to me the NBC article seemed to contain a bit of “doom” compared to this discussion.

    Research on Chlorine and cancer????

    Thank you greatly for sharing the story! The first thing that jumps out to me is the year it was published, over ten years ago. This lead me to read the published article which has this as a closing conclusion, I’d be interested next in seeing if further research was ever funded/done.

    Assuming the water looks good, follow the steps KimKats mentioned. Assume your pH is 8 Use PoolMath to see how much acid you’ll need to lower to 7.5. Add that Run the jets for a few minutes and then retest Do that a few times until your pH is in the 7’s. Don’t stress about this much, a high pH...

    If it were I………. Go ahead and halt the use of Dichlor So you avoid it getting to high. Give it a week or so then retest to see where you’re at. Don’t worry at all for now about your TA. I say this as you were clearly overwhelmed at the start. TA is a parameter that’s easy to ignore. The main...

    A few bits here for you, Don’t worry about a SWCG. Some members opt for a SWCG instead of bleach to add chlorine. Using pucks also increases your CYA level. The more cya you have, the higher your chlorine level needs to be. At a point the cya level becomes too high to manage and users run...

    Great info! I can easily see why you’re frustrated, but we’ll get you back on the right track. 👍👍 So let’s start by setting some expectations and lying out some open comments. For starters, spas aren’t like pools. Spa’s do take some extra effort and do require some different techniques. That...

    Calcium Hypochlorite tablets

    If you toss CalHypo directly into the water there won’t be an issue with the chemistry. The tab will cause a stain if it sits on the liner, but no boom. If however you insert a CalHypo tab into a feeder that’s had Trichlor in it, there is a chance for a boom. Even if there’s a very small amount...

    Hot Tub SWG Output level in PoolMath app

    Hello, and welcome to TFP! We are aware of this issue and it's currently in the books to be addressed. I suspect it's got something to do with the decimal point not being "hooked up" however I've yet to be able to really sit down with the developer of the App to hash things out. I'll drop him...

    Effect of snow in hot tub water

    Where I live at we have VERY high iron in the water and "topping off" the pool each Spring with water gets pricey as we must truck it in. One thing I always try to do is to dump any water from the cover into the pool before removing from the top of the pool. Other than getting slightly dirty...
