Good afternoon all,
I was performing my normal testing/maintenance on my hot tub yesterday and noticed the water looks a little yellow. Not bad, just a slight yellow tint that isn't normal.
This happened about a month or so ago when I drained and refilled but the color was more intense--the water was green and then yellow before I added a metal sequestrant and a lot of shock. Then it looked great until now.
I haven't done much refilling, if any, since the drain and refill a month or so ago. Maybe an inch or two here or there, but definitely not in the past two weeks.
Is it possible I need more metal sequestrant? Or is it definitely a low sanitation issue?
The sanitation levels were very low yesterday because for some reason my tablets dissolved much more quickly than usual, so I balanced pH, added shock, and also refilled my tab floater.
The tub is still yellowish today. I had to balance pH again (too low today; I must have added too much MA yesterday), but I think my bromine level was good (9). TA is 50.
Should I add more shock? A metal sequestrant? Or should I try something else?
