I have been reading through a lot of the old threads and learned a lot. I've had my tub for 5 months now and still struggle a bit with the water. I changed the water last month, during start up used Reserve, Metal Gone and PH lock (Leisure time products). I have a broming tablet floater (Leisure time Bromine) and use Renew as a shock weekly. I was also sold the blue Spa Clear, Enzyme, PH up, PH down and Alkalinity up. I did have to bump my alkilinity up but ph seems to stay good.
For the experts:
1. I was filling the bromine floater, but even with it on the very lowest my levels were really high, in one thread I read where someone only puts three tablets in, is that the way?
2. Can you provide a "how to" list with what chemicals you folks use (brand names) who are getting 4 months and longer out of your water?
I use my tub just about every night, about two or three times per week my girlfriend is over and gets in also. I just got a spa frog and put it between the two filters.
Occassionally my son gets in, not too often.
Is there someone on the forum that sell chemicals that I could support? Would be glad to for the expert advice.
Thanks,
Dan
