How much bleach should I put in the tub to get A PPM of 15–20? Is it important to leave the cover off when the chemicals are that high? And how long if so should I leave the cover off? Lastly how long will it take for the chemicals to get down into a safe to enter the top level?

So when do you think it's safe?
How many gallons is your hot tub? At this point you could've drained and refilled and been done with it....

Add after you are done soaking.Regularly you will only need 5 PPM but to shock you should go to 15-20 PPM

Somebody please move this thread to beat a dead horse section. If your still trying to get your spa in check at this point? Drain the spa and start over, like a month ago.

The high temp is in the 20s so that would be smart.

The high temp is in the 20s so that would be smart. If I were "MAD" I would have typed it all in caps. And this has been going on for over a month now. I know Michigan is cold, but it wasn't that cold last month, or early Dec. So you still having issues?
