I need some advise on chemicals for my spa. I buy all my supplies from the local pool and spa store. Everytime I go in there, depending on who I talk to, I get different answers. I can ask the same question to three different people and get three different answers.
Being new to chemicals and such, I really work at keeping chlorine and ph at the correct readings. For ph adjustments I use Leisure ph up or down, depending on what is needed. To me this is a simple task and can keep it right at 7.5. Chlorine on the other hand is what give me the problem. I use what the local company suggested, they call it there “house brand” Whiteriver chlorine disinfectant. I find a little goes a long way, and small amounts will shoot the chlorine level high. Even though the level goes high, it comes right down with in a day.
So is that how chlorine should act? Should I be using a different brand of chlorine, something better or easier to work with. After using my spa, should I add chlorine right away? My spa is 410 gallons, how much should I add?
Thanks for your help and advise.
