Welcome to our forum.
Was gonna change my water this month but looks like it will be May now. Here is my delima. When I go out and remove the cover from the tub it is crystal clear. When I run the jets with out air it is still clear, however when I run the jets with air the water turns a cloudy milky color. Then after the bubbles clear it is all clear again. Is this normal. Using soft soak. Sanitizer level is normal, ph is a little high and alk is a little low, but nothing out of the ordinary. Water smells fine...any ideas on how to tone down the cloudy bubbles. Bubbles to me seem white airy. Will be having guests over Saturday and I wonder if I need to maybe drain 1/2 my tub and go from there....Thanks
The Opacity of the water changes with the air blowers on. To a degree I think this is normal, but I have noticed that the worse it gets, (takes longer to clear) seems to be an indication of time to change the water, or at least that's how it seemed to be with my Nordic. (current tub only has limiteed blowers, and hardly used). However, I do see a similliar effect just with turning on the jets, the water is churned up and I try to notice how quick it settles and clears. I also wonder about quick settleing bubbles, (not soap foam) . These tiny bubbles have an effervescent quality to them, and seem to be more prevelent as it gets closer to change the water. I always wondered if the blower opacity and fizzy bubbles were an effect of TDS? ? ? ? ?
Devil, You're up in the frozen north, right? (How'd the tub do you this winter?)I am curious, how long did your water last?
Yes indeed, I live in Alaska on the Kenai Peninsula. I got the tub on Aug 14th sunk it into the deck on the 15 and filled it up not long after that and that is the water that has been in it ever since.
That's pretty damn good. Most new tubs require a change out after a few weeks. And even folks with some expereince under thier belts change it out 3-5 months out.
Perfectly normal when air is added to the mix. For those who soak "au naturale", the bubbles provide a bit of "privacy".....not that I'm abdicating such.....
I go "au naturale" at night . As soon as the privacy fence is finished we will be able to do the birthday suit all the time!!
YIKES! Now when is a good time for you....I'm available most anytime.....
