    Combined Chlorine in Hot Tub

    Chris, I have a small hot tub which we have been using now for around a month or so. Even tho it came with a Nature2 stick and a Ozonator I am using the BBB this year until I get into trouble. (I will not replace the Nature2) Since the new toy is becoming a little old, we are not using it...

    Spa Calculator for BBB?

    Jason, I am using it for my spa as well. I was wondering if the higher temps and other factors found in a spa would require differant amounts of chems. I noticed on your calculator that you had water temp. It didn't seem to have a huge impact on the numbers.

    Spa Calculator for BBB?

    I am playing around with using BBB on my new Spa. I am also using the The Pool Calculator to help. I am dealing less water (325 gal), warmer water (94 to 99 degree water) and I keep my spa cover almost 23 hours a day. I am sure this impacts the numbers in the The Pool Calculator as well as the...

    Thanks Jason for the quick response! I guess I can do without it once it's used up. (What do you think, should I keep it in there or pull it out?) As for the PH, since swings are normal I should not stress about the swings then? Am I over testing? (Testing daily prior to allowing anyone in...

    Well after two days of adjustments, my PH is stable. I decided to use acid to adjust the PH down. I didn't wish to use the SPA PH/ALK down that came with the spa. I wanted to test out the BBB theory. I have not added any Dy-Chlor 2 since first of this week. I have been using 6% bleach. I added 1...

    Good morning, I have only used since we started the spa two chems: Regal Dy-Chlor 2 for shock and Leisure Time Spa Down to reduce the PH (& side effect the Alk as well...) I did as instructed by the spa installer but I felt he had missed a few things. He was just being very general and noted he...

    As our backyard project wraps up, my spa was installed Friday. It came at a great time since we laid 9 pallets of sod! The hot tube proved its weight in gold! At this time, we are following the spa installer chemical suggestions to include the Nature2. I was glad that they suggested that I still...
