New hot tub owner here, 380 gallon. The hot tub was filled 2 days. I've got the Taylor testing kit and got chemicals under control (3 FC, 7.2 PH, 50 TA, CH 200) but noticed brown stains along the water line today (easily removed with a sponge) and wondering if its minerals from our well water. We have not gone in the hot tub yet. Seller never sent a sequestration agent. I wonder if I should either 1/ get the hot tub filled with municipal water instead ie start over, or 2/ start with sequestration agent and see how it goes. What's your thoughts? Which sequestration agent would you recommend to get in Canada?
Also was reading about the Aasome product, I read in one thread that doing a early water change with aasome is a good idea in case of biofilm in plumbing from factory testing.
CYA was 0 yesterday, will test again today to see if the dichlor (roughly a tablespoon a day) is starting to increase the CYA level to recommended range before switching to liquid chlorine.
Final question, where can I order borates in Canada?
Appreciate the help, this forum is so helpful!!
Thanks
