Hello, I am sorry to ask for help here, but I have done lots of research, and am confused - simply because there is so much information available.
I am a newer Hot Tub owner, I filled and got it all running about 3 months ago. I have kept water chemicals in pretty good shape. I have made a few mistakes, for example early on not adding Chlorine after lots of people used it for a long time, also forgetting that when I add fill water I have to keep a closer eye on TA for example. All in all, I did pretty well, and the water is still usable, but I would like to change it, clean the tub (which I bought used), and refill.
In general, it seems like these are the steps in my mind (and I am open to correction).
Use some Aww Some with the current water.
Drain the water
Possibly refill and use Aww Some again
Drain water
Clean Tub
Refill water, get chemicals tested and going, heat water, then all set.
I have too many questions, but is there is a good solid link to the steps, and also the tips with each one? I have come across so many tidbits, like "make sure the Chlorine level is low when using Aww Some with current water", "blow out the jets with a Shop Vac to get all water out of lines", "clean the tub with vinegar", etc...
Thank you!
