Welcome to our forum.
...until 3 weeks later when we noticed the water turning cloudy... Again, 3 weeks later, the same thing....What we do is put in 2 oz. of Chlorine over the weekend, when we use the tub 1 capful of Activate and once weekly 2 oz. of Protect Plus. It seems that as the end of day 6 comes along, the water starts to turn.... When I put the chlorine in, later that day it is clear again. [/u]
Thanks for all the replys. We had the owner of the company over today to discuss the cloudy situatioin and other mechanical things that are going on. Basically, he is agreeing with everyone, the ozone and silver does not "do the whole job". He said to double up on the chlorine (4 oz instead of 2) once a week and that should do it? Does that make sense?
My advice has always been to generously add 1 TSP of chlorine per person AFTER each use and once per week to shock with MPS. When people switch to a "chlorine per use" approach they find it works great AND they find that there is little to no chlorine smell as they add it after they get out and it's largely dissipated before they get in again.
I think that will only help a little bit, doubling up on a once per week chlorine use will help marginally but you'll still see it getting cloudy later in the week. You're going too long in between use of your sanitizer. People try to hold onto the idea that they can add chlorine just once per week but it just will not be effective enough from my experience. I council people on spa care VERY often and see this same scenario time and time again. If you switch to a routine of adding chlorine AFTER each use your water issues will almost assuredly go away.

I realize that this forums members are skewed towards di-chlor. I, however, love me some bromine tabs! Let those suckers do their thing all week, shock with MPS on Sunday; crystal clear, perfect agua, all the time.
