Good Morning, All and I hope everyone is doing very well. I have an interesting issue that I have never experienced before in my hot tub.
Usually, after each tubbing, I add 1 ounce to 1.5 ounces of 12% liquid shock and all is fine at the next days readings. This is a bromine tub, no floatie.
Lately, I have had to put in between 3.5 and 5 ounces of shock just to keep the readings between 1.25 and 2.5. It has been a long time since my tub has acted up so I forget the usual protocols. I am thinking I either need to change the water or shock it over 10ppm and leave it alone til the numbers drop. Leaving it be and letting the level drop of it's own accord is not something I am good at doing. I do not think it needs the water changed as I last changed it on Halloween, so that is...3.5 months ago. Your kind advice please?
