Author Topic: Cloudy Water (Read 2746 times)

We've had our Bullfrog Hot Tub for approximately 3 months. Love it but our water is cloudy. We check the water every week - the bromine is always zero even though we have a floater with tabs and add 2-3 caps of powdered. We are also cleaning the filters every 2 weeks. Please help! thanks.

Do you have a UV sterilizer?

Sounds like your PH may be too high.

Give it a large dose of shock. Add a small amount of clarifier. You may also want to increase the filter cycles. The factory default is only 2 hours, twice per day.

Your spa has probably had a ton of use in those 3 months? I would just drain it and start over and cruise though Feb or March to change it again. You can always nuke it with chems but often times it is just a band aid at that point and a waste of chems.. Nothing like fresh water.

Agreed! I just put fresh water in mine.

There's nothing like the crispness of the bubbles in fresh water. 3 months is not out of line for a water change. Unless it's a big deal to change the water.

oops, wasn't paying attention to how long the water had been in there. I agree with what the others posted......time to do a drain and refill for sure.
