Between a bad cold running through our house, the holidays, and a busy week at work, my tub was not used for about a week. I leave the bromine floater filled with pucks and shock every Sunday.
Yesterday, I lifted the cover and was shocked at how quickly the water had turned cloudy and the scum had formed around the shell and the filters had turned brown and there was that peanut buttery stuff around the filters.
I was sure I was going to need to drain and refill but I tried a strong shock, washed the filters in the dishwasher while putting in the spare set and running the pumps. I then added clarifyer, rerinsed the filters and tried the bromine booster that I hadn't used before. When i awoke today, the water was clear again.
Not sure what my point is other than to say it's amazing how quickly things can go from good to bad, then back to good. Is this normal?
