Happy new season everyone (for the UK anyway).
I've just filled my 1000 litre hot tub with fresh tap water. I live in an area of hard water (limescale).
I've taken a reading and have a CaCO3 level (TA?) of 267 and a ph of 7.1. CYA is virtually non existent and no chlorine.
Before I add chlorine I think I need to reduce my TA down to the 70-80 mark.
this is going to take a fair bit of acid I guess. I'm just going to add a heap of dry acid and then aerate with the blowers. And I guess I get my TA level down before I add stabilized chlorine?
Can someone confirm please?
