Or rather my spa is in the dark (full shade gazebo-covered). Given the near absence of UV light, I've searched these forums and found a few claims that aeration removes CC, but I'd like to hear what the chem experts have to say about it. Once the FC reacts with organics and makes the stinky and nasty CC, just how does it get removed (short of water changes)?
I just made my last repair on this 18-year old spa (or at least hopefully it's the last for awhile). I had to rewire the controller, which was incorrectly wired, replace the circ pump seal and fix six other leaks. I had to drain it three times in the process ("peeling the onion")! Now it seems to be totally drip-free (and shower head spray-free) and the GFCI and other control circuits are working correctly.
Last year I got the pool up and running, which I plan to open shortly, and this year's pre-summer project has been the spa. It's good to be back online here at TFP after a long N. Central Idaho winter!
