Adding chemicals

[Gomboman]

My owners manual and the sticker under the filter compartment says the same thing.  They both say to add chemical in the filter compartment.  Does your spa owners manual say something different?

So what do we do? Should we follow the owners manual or a sticker under the filter cover? I wonder why the manufacturer  would tell you one thing and then another?   :-/

My wife would kill me if I used the kitchen measuring cup for the MPS, so can anyone guess how much the cap holds?

Dude,
Buy your own set of measuring spoons for the tub.  I keep my 1 tsp sitting on top of the dichlor for easy apres-soak additions and the 1 tbsp is kept close by for shocks, etc.  If you can afford a tub, you can afford some measuring spoons!

Gomboman- mine says the same thing about putting in chemicals in the filter comparment.  I was told that there is more water movement there.

I suppose it shouldnot matter too much either way.

I have the measuring spoons, thanks!

What I am trying to determine is how much is an ounce?

Comeon Vinnie, you are usually the one who can cut through all the technical bull and tell it like it is.  

Heck, just yesterday you were talking about sprinking on the center of the moving water

[Gomboman]

A dry ounce is two Tablespoons or six Teaspoons. Two ounces is a 1/4 of a cup.  I hate the english system.

orlandoguy,

All that info is in the Taylor book and I did give you this info earlier in this thread,  Gomboman is rehashing it and taking my thunder ... oh well as long as the info gets out there!

Measuring spoon are a dollar store item.  Also a 35mm film container is slightly more that 2 tablespoons.  That how I measure and apply my MPS.

Sorry Vinny, I was just answering his question.  Didn't realize you already answered his question previously.  I was in scan mode.

I have a Envoy and the dealer told me ALWAYS add chems to filter compartment with all pumps on high.(max water movement there) Let the pumps run for 15min -- 30min when shocking . She said if you put chemicals in tub the chems could mark or stain the shell if they didnt get mixed up and completely disolved.

[orlandoguy]

This could be true.  If my chemicals have lumps, I break them up.

This sounds much more feasable than the argument about bromine floaters being bad because they can get stuck aginst the shell and burn through the shell.

I did use her measuring spoons the 1st time.  Boy did I get yelled at! Won't be doing that again anytime soon.

Still don't see the big deal.  One trip through the dishwasher and it is ready for food use.
