This was a great video. No hyperbole, no fearmongering, no clickbait, just straight forward and helpful information. I read all the manuals I had and got a tutorial from a neighbor, but this was the most helpful information I found.

[@DrTripleEK]

I love finding a video like this after going through so many others and forums with no consensus. Will follow suit and go with the guess and check method!

[@helenpeck2274]

Another great video to help run my hot tub. Now need some nice weather to enjoy it 😮 Thanks again

[@AbouttheHouse0]

lol, yeah.

[@alzeNL]

nice one, i've always used granuals, find they just work, lots of good tips in here tho.

[@AbouttheHouse0]

Sometimes you get used to what you do and get into a comfortable rut. I only started using tabs half way through last season. Wish I'd done it earlier.

[@alzeNL]

@@AbouttheHouse0 once i've got thru my bucket full of granuals will check it out :) other than the hot spell earlier this year not really used the tub ! but it did survive the winter thanks to your other video on packing it up :D

[@twogotikitouring6940]

As always thank you for taking the time and effort to compile these informative videos. Having just set up my St Moritz for the first time today I am making good use of your clear instructions. Have also purchased a thermal cover as the savings speak for themselves! Happy hot tubbing Best wishes David

[@AbouttheHouse0]

Glad you like them! St Moritz is what we have. More to run than a smaller tub, but we like sprawling out in ours. The weather has gone a bit naff these last few days, but we're doing a sun dance each morning to try and get it back! Yeah, 50% saving on leccy costs isn't to be sniffed at, especially as the price of leccy has sky rocketed since I made that video.

[@twogotikitouring6940]

@@AbouttheHouse0 It's just for the two of us as well and we're trying to keep it quiet from the neighbours 😏 I did have to explain the 'Ooer missus' comment in one of your other videos to my wife. She is from New Zealand and they don't always pick up on our little innuendos 😂👍

[@richardgould1978]

Great content 👌 Having just bought a spa and not set it up yet this is great info! I must admit, it seems daunting with all the chemicals ( have the clear water starter kit) but will buy tablets now and fingers crossed 🤞 will get the hang of it .

[@shirzs]

Brilliant explanation, thank you so much. I've only had mine a month now but been using granules but definitely going to invest in some tablets now I know how to use them. Once again great video & great help 👍🏻

[@AbouttheHouse0]

Wonderful! Happy to be of help. Do let us know how you get on.

[@daley72003]

This is great thanks

[@brewster102]

What about the effect tablets have on PH levels? They tend to make the water more acidic when I use them.

[@AbouttheHouse0]

I haven't noticed that. I'll keep a check on it this coming season

[@davidsvids5011]

Thank you for this! Sticking with the tablets. Might look into Bromine tablet as well for my next water change

[@Mads_Vel]

Good video. Question: I just bought this Hot Tub. How many days can my water stay clean before it gets dirty if I never use any chemicals?

[@imaginitivity7853]

It's necessary to use some form of sanitation (chemicals) for any use. Initially there may be no problem, but bacteria and mould will grow in the circulation system and hard to access parts of the tub. It may appear to be ok, but if you use it with no way of controlling these and then empty and store the tub, the next time you full it the bacteria and mould will have a head start, ready to grow and cause problems. People have died from poorly maintained hot tubs causing infections. Search Legionnaire's disease. There's simply no way to avoid the fact that people's bodies shed sweat, urine and faeces into the water. The water is typically maintained at body temperature, which is ideal growing conditions for lots of unpleasant stuff. It may look clean, but without chemicals it really isn't! If you're sensitive to Chlorine, the cheapest and most widely used sanitiser, you may prefer Bromine.

[@teslaandhumanity7383]

I always get confused with ph plus and ph minus . Getting the dip strip colours correct .

[@starsandnightvision]

What sort of chlorine granules do you use? I guess you can't use chlorine for a swimming pool also in a hot tub right?

[@imaginitivity7853]

Just check the chemistry of the product. There's not a wide variety of options, so it's likely the exact same stuff.

[@Apd_6464]

I would watch using multifunctional tablets, as algaecide isnt needed in a hottub. It can cause damage to your tub liner and pump unit.

[@AbouttheHouse0]

Can you be more specific. What chemicals in the tablets affect the liner? And how do they damage it?

[@Apd_6464]

@@AbouttheHouse0 the algaecide can cause further foaming. Then you have to use no foam to erase the foam, then that cause cloudy water. Another problem is it can strip the coating on the inner side of the tub due to its harsh chemical compound as its designed for more durable pool liner. You also can see thats algaecide is not recommended for a inflatable tub as it is included on the pool kit not the spa kit with clearwater. Algaecide also isnt a necessary ingredient if you keep your chlorine levels within range. If theres anything else you would like to know let me know 👍

[@frankielottering1667]

Have you had any experience with either bromide or other chlorine replacements?

[@imaginitivity7853]

I've used Bromine as my wife is sensitive to Chlorine. It's much the same process, just a bit more expensive

[@leighsimpkins2523]

Im struggling to keep my water clear,i put in foam reducer which sort of works,i put in water clarifyer aswel but it never looks clean and clear yet everything is correct on the testing strips. Its under my gazebo...What am I doing wrong aaargh 😭

[@AbouttheHouse0]

Is the tub new? Did you clean it before filling? Did you shock it?

[@leighsimpkins2523]

@@AbouttheHouse0 I got the Tub last year (my missus sent me off to get a shed but I came back with a hot tub instead oops😬) so ive cleaned it before filling and shocked it and have new filters, the only thing I can think of is the shock treatment went wrong somewhere..

[@leighsimpkins2523]

I keep my circulation pump on 24/7. Am doing the wrong thing by keeping it on constantly? 🤔

[@AbouttheHouse0]

No won't be a problem. If you choose to turn it on/off remember to run it for 4hrs in every 12 hour period. If you can keep it switched off for 12 hours a day, that'll save you about £12pcm in leccy.

Did you ever hear a product called Spa marvel. The most natural no chemical water in your tub.. Not a fan of chlorine

[@AbouttheHouse0]

I haven't, but will look it up. Do you use it?

[@Rich-tc2lh]

@@AbouttheHouse0 Yeap and so far its ok

[@imaginitivity7853]

I just looked it up. It's not cheap. It may appeal for reducing chlorine use, but it's not a replacement. A chemical sanitiser is still required. If you're sensitive to Chlorine, you may find Bromine is less irritating
