Welcome to our forum.
In order to get rid of biofilm, we have had to to add 5-6gallons of bleach to quickly get the ppm of chlorine level to 100ppm.
In about a 400 gallon tub how quickly does 10ppm of DiChlor dissipate? like 2ppm per hour or something?btw.. my initial PH from my well water was 8.7 After adding in the PH Decreaser, Scale and Stain and the 4 teaspoons of DiChlor, my PH Reading is now not even coming up on my AquaCheck Trutest digital reader.. it says "Err"... so I'm assuming the PH went higher, I think the highest the digital reader can read is to 8.8I then tested with visual strips and the PH looked REALLY RED that means very high.Why would the PH RISE after doing PH Decreaser and DiChlor? I thought DiChlor was PH Neutral and PH Decreaser should cerntainly of bought DOWN my PH. I also noticed that my Total Alk went from 207 to 218 an hour after I shocked the spa, this is all very strange to me?
yeah what i don't get is that on the Bioguard print out from my dealer they said to only put in 1 tablespoon of PH Decreaser (the Spaguard brand).. I don't have the spaguard brand of PH Decreaser, I have Baquaspa PH decreaser which is the same ingredients as what are in other PH Decreasers. On the Baquaspa ph decreaser it says that if you PH is above 8.2 to add 3 TABLEspoons per 400 gallons of water. So I did sorta in the middle, I added 2 tablespoons. On the Bioguard printout it says to do 1 tablespoon each day for 7 staight days. Why not just tell me to put in one larger dose instead of having to do it 7 days in a row?

My tub can hold 3 PPM chlorine overnight, who knows how long 10 PPM will last.
Getting rid of bacteria requires dramatically increased, sustained levels of sanitizer. I haven't read anywhere about the 50-100ppm but I'm not saying you're wrong. Where did you get that info from out of curiousity?Steve
