Welcome to our forum.
I've got a question for anyone familiar with the carefree system (Beachcomber). I've had my tub since April 28 and have probably added Carefree twice - none for weeks! My test readings always show that the carefree level runs from good to high and the alk is nearly always good. I have even taken samples into the Beachcomber dealer and her computer says the carefree level is ok and don't add any. She suggested I quit using the puck floater, which I did two weeks ago - but it didn't make any difference. The water "seems" perfect. Basically I add a half cap of Boost every other day, with an couple ounces of Spa Perfect every other week or so and outside of cleaning the filter, thats about it. My water is always crystal clear....no foam, no scum....nothing. My wife are in the tub almost every night, we've had the same water for 4 months and our TDS is still only 1000ppm. I don't get it. The Beachcomber regimen says to add Carefree every week, but the dealer says if you don't need it don't add it. So who's right? I don't want to end up with some bizarre skin rash because I'm not adding the recommended stuff. Any thoughts?
If it aint broke.......Rayman, how are things with the tub? I hope you are enjoying trouble free use with your new tub.
Thanks Steve, I was hoping you'd answer. You're right on...... I wait the 7 minutes and the water is purple every time. I'll add the Carefree tonight.
Beachcomber does have a Carefree test strip that tests for pH and oxidizer. We used to sell those tubs and chems here at this store.Amazingly my Hydropool that has bromine pucks and is shocked with dichlor shows a Carefree reading of 3PPM Hmmm
Must be Steve influencing the test results, I put it in everyweek Saturday @8am is that OK or should i have a coffee first?Ray
