Any idea what would cause this? Happened shortly after refilling the tub. Water source the same as always. Water clear and levels good (bromine has been really high after shocking...maybe this did it) and no residue around tub ring or anything. Just the clear plastic in the headrests and around a few of the water features that are above water have turned bright yellow. I did notice that for the first time ever, adding Leisure Time Renew shock, the powder turned yellow in the water, but then it disappeared. So I assume something was interacting. I didn't notice it after that one time.

UV radiation from the sun causes changes in the polymers in plastic that turn it yellow. The water protects the submerged plastic from the suns UV.

Why does plastic turn yellow?
Cruising through that mega-auction website, you just saw someone paid several hundred dollars for a (now) antique video game console....
