I'm a new spa owner, purchased a Sundance spa that was on display at a home show and the spa has 'clearray' purification system.
We've had the spa approx. 4 weeks and I am constantly finding 0 fc readings. I have had a salt water pool in the past, so I am somewhat familiar with the chemical process. I have been reading in the forum and pool school about how different spa chemistry is and I'm a little confused. The owner of the store I bought our spa from briefly went over the chemistry, and gave me a small supply of chemicals that they recommended.
I here are my current test numbers as of this morning: Note that I added 'spa chlorine' 2 days ago and brought the FC level up to 10. So in just 2-3 days with no use of the spa it dropped to 0 fc.
FC 0
PH 7.8
TA 80
CH 280
CYA 35
Temp 101
The owner also recommended throwing in a couple teaspoons of 'spa oxidizing shock' after every use which we have been doing.
I have been reading about changing to liquid chlorine or bleach, but I am not sure what I should do or where to start?
Thak you for your time!
