Mild Slick on Jacuzzi Water
« on: August 11, 2006, 03:36:51 pm »
I apologize for such a basic question, but as a new spa owner I would like your opinion....  There's a slight bubbly oil slick on the surface (not everywhere).  I'm floating Bromine and all my levels look great.  How's the best way to say goodbye to the slight slick?  Many thanks. 8-)

Immediately remove the Exxon Valdeez oil tanker from your tub.  ;D  :D  ;D

oh, boy.....no answers for this one, huh? maybe if I throw something out there that's WRONG, someone SMART will correct it for ya. ;)
Okay....I guess I'd try a couple different things.....
1) pick up one of those little floating faces/flowers/balls, scum balls, whatever....they absorb surface impurities, oils, etc.
2) clean your filter(s)....if you've been spraying them with a hose, try a chemical filter cleaner designed to remove oils, etc...then run your tub's jets for awhile to let the filters collect the 'stuff'.
3) try adding a little clarifier and running jets.
I'm sure I'm off base by at least a little, but hopefully someone good will chime in soon.  :)
Good luck!
RIP C-Rod

I would also recommend using an enzyme like Spa Perfect or Natural Spa Enzyme from Spaguard

Switch the Jacuzzi water to Hotspring water.























Sorry, couldn't resist.

I agree that spa perfect may be your answer..I am guessing that you are seeing a bit of body oils or suntan lotion ;)
Support your dealer so they can support you!
