Getting a hot tub from Costco next week- assumed maintaining was the same as my pool but reading the sticky there seems to be a few differences. I have a few questions about possible alternatives:
1) are there any issues with using liquid muriatic acid in a hot tob instead of dry acid? This is what I use for my pool and don't want to have to buy a separate acid for hot tub.
2) Rather than buying dichlor to raise the CYA and then switching to liquid bleach, can I simply start with bleach and just add the CYA separately since I already have it for my pool? Would I just dump it right in the hot tub. With the pool you put it in the skimmer but since I assume I'll need a lot less for the hot tub I just throw it in the water?
Thanks!
