Is it from Trixie's romance? What chems are you using? Slimy doesn't usually happen.Do you keep all the jets on when shocking or dosing with dichlor? Do you leave all the jets on if your tub clears it's lines?

Do you leave all the jets on if your tub clears it's lines?Vinny, are you my long lost cousin from New Jersy???Trixie pours 2 capfuls of Dichlor into a *Spiderman net, then she turns on all the jets and dips the net in and out of the water, (like dunking a tea bag) until all the dichlor has dissolved. The jets are left on for about 10 minutes. The last step is to dip a test strip in for testing.
Hair in the tub is unavoidable, so if hair conditioners are released in the tub, wouldn't the test strips indicate something's out of whack? That's the part that is confusing, test strips indicate all is well. Since Trixie showers prior to tubbing, and doesn't use much hair conditioner in the first place, how much conditioner would be too much? Granted, Trixie has a lot of long hair, so there's probably more conditioner in her hair than she realizes. Do you know of a hair conditioner that doesn't have a heavy wax base or is tub friendly while still managing to untangle a lot of long hair? Thanks for your help.
I personally put my hair up in a big clip and try to keep it all out of the water.

I don't know about everyone else, but I have found test strips to be very unreliable. I bought the Lamotte electronic tester, mainly because I thought that I was not reading the test strips correctly, with these old eyes. At times, I have found that the test strips read everything is in order. I then have done a test with the meter and found that the PH and or Alk was out of wack. I still use the strips, mainly because I have so many of them, but follow it up with the meter, every once in a while, which I have found to be very reliable. Just my opinion.Also, I think I read here or somewhere else, that the human body gives off about a half pint of fluid (perspiration, body oils, etc.) for every 30 minutes of soaking. So depending on how many people use the tub...it could be a lot of fluids being added to a very fertile breading tank. Showering helps the extra stuff that we put on our bodies, but the rest is just part of human nature. Slimy is never good. I would also shock and sanitize to get rid of it.
I thought when I looked through the bushes Trixie didn't have any hair. With the light reflecting off the snow I'm sure I'm right.
