Welcome to our forum.
I find once in a while my water gets a haze to it. It looks good, but just not perfect. I use 2 oz of Leisure Time Bright and Clear and by the next day it sparkles. It is the only time I use a floculant/coagulant. I use the LT product, but there are manufacturers that will do the same job.
I don't think I have any Bright and Clear (or similiar) so I will have to pick some up if it doesnt get better on its own.
Couple of chemical questions and other things...Is it okay to add everything at once (during weekly routine) or should you only add one at a time? If one at a time, how much time inbetween?At the end of the night after use, do I need to leave the cover open for the 10 minutes after I put the dichlor in? I've been throwing it in when I get out then putting the cover on and going to bed.Do I ever need to check my Chlorine level or just the PH/ALK? I know that the dichlor dissipates quickly, so when is the propper time to test it?I don't think I have any Bright and Clear (or similiar) so I will have to pick some up if it doesnt get better on its own. I just added a good amount of dichlor and will see what happens. I also put one of those scum sponges in.
I've had the ozone installed and started using the N2, since about a week of ownership. When I cleaned my filters again today, I pulled out the N2 cartridge.... it looks like crap. The top part (if holding it just like it comes out of the tub) with the balls looks all coroded and nasty. The bottom part looks fine, but the silver is already gone. I tried rinsing it (the coroded looking section) with my spray nosel hose and it didn't make a difference.
I really don't see any reason to dump and refill as the water looks fine, just not perfect if that makes sense. Â I wasn't micromanaging the chemicals, so I'm not real concerned that I overloaded it or anything. Â Besides the 3 weeks I was gone, I wouldn't have done anything differently, so unless it gets worse, I'll just leave it for now.I put some clarifier in it today, so we'll see how it looks tomorrow.I've had the ozone installed and started using the N2, since about a week of ownership.

Â We woke up Monday to our back fence being gone and now those neighbors have a lovely view of our house/tub (they are on a slope above us). Â So this weekend I get to finish the side fence, then go talk to the back neighbors about building another. Â Fun, fun. Â So glad it was 85+ today, a nice change. Â
