Please help, frustrated newbie.
I’ve owned a Hot Tube for a year now. The dealer I bought it from said to use EZ Spa chemicals. For routine maintenance use 1 ½ once of EZ spa Total care which is a Seven products in one bottle. Add ½ to one once weekly of Chlorine. I’ve had greenish tent water, cloudy water, foamy water, red itchy bumps, my wife does not get red bumps. I’ve had nothing but problems with this product. I also use test strips not knowing any better till I found this site. One of the biggest problems I’m having is my FC is next to 0 my Total Chlorine is 10 by the time TC gets down to three or 1 that’s when I have the problems mentioned above.
I was told because of the Ozone the UV and CZ (copper and Zinc) charged filter, I should be showing little to zero FC and TC.
Saturday 11/19 I cleaned, flushed and drained the Tub. Tap Water using test strips (TK 2006c has been ordered)
TH -100
TC -1
FC .o5
PH – 6.8
TA 40
CYA 0
After using the Pool Math Calculator added the Chem. and added 1 ½ oz of Chlorine/Dichlor
Sunday Morning
TH 250
TC 10
FC 20
PH 7.8
TA 80
CYA 0
Monday Morning Chemicals are in balance but the FC is 3 and the TC is 10+ .
How do I get the TC close to my FC. I am switching to the Dichlor/Bleach method mentioned on this site and studying Pool School,
