Welcome to our forum.
I did find some help on one of the EcoOne dealer websites.AFter the cleansing---and drain and re fill--they prescribe1)n install a nature2 cartridge in the filter compartment2)Add 1 oz of dichlor per 250 gallons3)balance ph to between 7 and 84) heat to desired temp5)Add the Econ One monthly treatment bottle6)Add 2 caps of the ecoone filter boost in filter compartment THENAfter each use---add 1 TBL spoon of Rnew non chlorine shockMy question now is what else can I use instead of the Leisure Time Renew product?---to shock the spa?---household bleach?----more dichlor/ (how much to shock?)THEN---on a weekly basis----they say to add one teaspoon of chlorine (dichlor)---per 250 gallonsAgain---I want to get away from Renew which contains MPS----are there any other "non" chlorine based shocks that do not have MPS? I know I"m not allergic to chlorine---for sure----it's all the other stuff in the Lieusre Time system I'm trying to avoid---especially the Renew stuff which I've read has caused users alot of problems--people with sensitive skin--like me.
to continue----Of course---maybe I should just go back to square one---where I was successful a long time ago---just chlorine--dichlor and bleach for shocking. It worked for me a few years ago----maybe that's my real answer (vs all these "exotic" new chemicals)A concern is potential damage to the equipment. BUT---the ole Quantum held up for 15 years just fine on the chlorine/bleach programMaybe I'm cyncial---(I know I am)---but---is the "hype" about scale---etc etc potential damage to internal components the "real deal"? (for instance on the Leisure time program--it's Metal Gon upon fill---Defender--every week---this then and that whenever etc)----is it all over kill?Some more of my rambling thouhtsHow about just going chlorine---PH balancing--and bleach for shock?----Is this all anyone REALLY needs--afterall?
