Mold on pillows
« on: April 21, 2008, 06:38:53 am »
Have a small D1, 3 person spa.  Use the Liesure Time Bromine products.

We use it once or twice a week.  We are starting to get a real mold problem above the water line.

Last time we changed the water we really shocked it and then used the shocked water to scrub with a strong brush above the water line, then rinsed and changed the water.

We had not used the spa in about 2 weeks.  Opened it up last night and there was black mold all over the spa pillows....MAJOR YUK.


Help please.
Thanks
Ginny

Even if you don't soak, it's a good idea to open the cover up a few times a week.

You can try to add a shock dose of dichlor with the cover closed for the mold above the waterline.

Can I use dichlor with a bromine tub?

Thanks

Absolutely, when using bromine you can shock with either MPS or dichlor. I advise people to use MPS under regular circumstances but use dichlor when the water quality slips or when the usage was heavy that week (be proactive).
220, 221, whatever it takes!
