Welcome to our forum.
I use my dealer recommended sanitation system. 450 gal tub. Chlorine shock (2 tbsps) once a week, MPS (1 1/2 tbsps) after each use.
Hey, I have that too! It looks like your family drips more than mine though.

In other words, try 1tsp of chlorine after each use with an MPS shock once a week.

In other words, try 1tsp of chlorine after each use with an MPS shock once a week. You know, PG, I have been thinking the same thing and may do that since chlorine is so much cheaper than MPS. I just wonder why the written instructions from my HotSpring dealer say the opposite. My only concern would be: Do you accumulate more spent chlorine (chlorimides?) in the tub using chlorine every day instead of using MPS?

It's that Hot Spring tub, their know to do that. It has to do with the faulty filtering system they use. My suggestion is to call your dealer and demand a quality tub!
OK the real reason probably is high PH and a high mineral content. Using MPS all the time may be the culprit as well if you start out with high TDS and use the tub a lot.I don't believe that the Ca test will pick up a high other mineral content.Sorry, I just couldn't resist!
You might need to drain and refill before seeing any improvement. If it's doing that because the water is saturated with minerals (or junk), it might need fresh water. Honestly, I am assuming things here. I don't have anything that looks like that and I do leave puddles all over the place.Is the water cloudy or anything? What happens if you splash non tub water onto a surface? Maybe it's the fill water.
