I just want to give you an appreciative thank you! I watched at least a dozen of your videos… twice each! Then I wrote down all the instructions in sequence. Then I ordered all the products from Amazon including the cover cradle. I am finally using my spa after it sat dormant for two years! I now have a habit of checking the water every Saturday morning, and it’s usually perfect! It was an investment to get all the chemicals and the cradle, but so was my spa! And I started it from scratch by emptying all the water, even used the filter when I refilled it, I followed every step you gave perfectly, it was a lot of work but now it’s no work at all. And, yes I switched from chlorine to bromine in the floater, I also purchased the jar of bromine granules when I need it sanitized right away, Folks, I am a 76-year-old single woman who lives alone with no help, and if I can do this, and so can you!

I wish I had seen this video a year ago when I got the Hottub for my Airbnb villa. I have come up with this exact setup on my own, but it took months of fiddling at first. Many people say that you cannot combine chlorine and bromine, which made me avoid chlorine shock. But it is precisely the combination where my guests pour in a tablespoon of chlorine shock every night that keeps the water clean.

Floating feeders usually end up in front of the skimmer pulling concentrated corrosive sanitizer through expensive components (heater, pumps, sensors) also chlorine and bromine drop the ph causing acidic water (also corrosive). Has made me a Lot of money over 35yrs of servicing. Mineral silver is preferred to avoid causing costly corrosive problems and just as easy and has No smell or skin irritation

Hi, I've heard a lot of people say turn the jets on but without the air. Also, my water is just a tiny bit cloudy now after only having it for 5weeks. I don't have shock! Is this what I need to do. Is to buy a shock and treat weekly. I also have stablised chlorine Granules and Chlorinating Granules. What's the difference with these. I also have a floaty that I use but the fast action tablets dissappear instantly. I'm sure there are larger tablets there but they smell really strong. I bought this 2nd hand but it's under 1 year old and less than half the price I snapped it up. Its just the 2 loungers and 1 seat area but I recon you could get 5 in it. Any advice would be greatly appreciated Many thanks and happy new year. Ian.

You might have heavy metals in your well water. I fill from a well as well, I have to use and RV filter I attach to my hose. Then add Metal Gon. I wait 12-24 hours prior to adjusting levels, once the levels are adjusted I shock then add bromine floater to hot tub. If it becomes cloudy with a slight brown or green color I add 1//2 a bottle of metal gone and heavy dose of shock. That usually will keep my tub clear. Also I will clean the filter daily until clear. Hope this helps!
