You cannot maintain a residual. How often do you use the tub? Do you have ozone? Mineral stick?

Hit it with dichlor each time you get out. Some folks would say to give it some before you get in also. By the next day, if you test, odds are you will have none. However, the water should be ok, as you killed the bacteria when you got out, put the cover on, so nothing can enter, and have a back up of ozone.
