Are you able to post a pic of the "blue substance" ? tha wil help us decipher what it may be and where its located. Thanks!


OK......here is a picture of the filter and the blue substance....Let me know what you guys think.  The substance will not come off with elbow grease......I need to know what I should use to clean it and not damage the spa surface.

Don't throw away the old bucket until you know whether the new one holds water.

Sorry I'm so slow but had the day off yesterday.

I've never seen anything like this. I have trouble believing that the spa water got hot enough to melt the filter.

Call Coleman and get an e-mail address so you can send that picture. Send the one of the rust as well because I've never seen that on any of our spas before.

Colemans phone number is 480-895-0598

It appears to me as if the pH of the water is too low and the acidic nature of it is eating away at the plastic of the filter.  I had a customer who let his pH get too low and it began dissolving his pillow.  There's no way the water got hot enough to melt the plastic.

Try a Mr. Clean Magic Eraser and some Soft Scrub.

I will do that.....I never had any trouble with this spa until the heat of the summer hit........then all hell broke loose.

Thanks for the number.

You know the PH always stayed low...I would have to raise it constantly.....You may have hit this on the money.  I didnt know low PH could cause plastic to dissolve.

I will try the Magic Eraser and Soft Scrub.

Thanks much for the info.

Wouldn't it be sort of logical that pH low enough to do that to plastic would be REALLY noticble irritating on your skin? I mean. how could you have that kind of damage to plastic and no other repurcussions?

I am sure it would have but we had not used the spa in about a month and a half because it was too hot.  I am just thankful now that we didnt.......our skin may have melted off!
