I have an 8ft 48" tall cedar tub built by the previous owners of the house, and I'm realizing that the ionizer and MPS oxidizer combo we've been doing for the two years we've been here isn't actually the best approach.
We've drained and refilled a couple times and overall things have been pretty okay - a little slime here and there, but the water is as clear as you can tell in a cedar tub, but a few times of mildew smell. No skin irritation, etc. and my husband soaks sometimes several times a day.
I am just learning about ahhsome and I think it would be really useful to get us back to a fresh start so I can actually try to maintain the water properly - or as properly as I can with the precious little information available for cedar tub maintenance. I've been scared to use chlorine for fear of it pulping out the wood and ruining it forever (if anyone has input about this, particularly re: ideal balance and sanitizer info I'm all ears!)
The issue is we only have a circulating pump, so no jets outside of the return which isn't actually a jet. Will Ahhsome still work effectively this way, and is it safe to use on a cedar tub?
