Welcome to our forum.
Do you by chance have a Leslies pool supply anywhere near you? You can take a water sample in and they will give you a printed page with whats going on and how to deal with it.A big dump of chlorine will dissipate after a few days and you should be fine, and bonus.. that should have killed any bacteria you had in the tub. Also they make a clarifier liquid you can put in the tub to clear up the cloudiness.

Thank you - this is all new to me. My case is light (I have about, 75 bumps on shoulders back, nothing horrific) but it's itchy. Not sure if it's just folliculitis or from going in too much or what. I am barely getting the hang of having this Hot Tub, and finally have some more info about water care. I have balanced it more, the water is clearer (much less cloudy) after balancing, chlorine, shock, and spa clarifier. I have not drained the tub before (it's only been 3 weeks since I have owned it) and am slightly dreading it. Is there a way to tell if there's bacteria in the water before going through a decontamination process? Is it possible that just having it balanced now with everything means it's safe? I guess I am trying to determine if it's possibly ok as is, or if I need to go through a full decontamination process. Thanks!
