Welcome to our forum.
CapMorganI saw your post on another forum regarding this matter. Â The person who replied recommended against what every tub manufacturer instructs to do...that is to use dichlor form of chlorine. Â As a matter of fact, his instruction to use bleach is in opposition to just about every manufacturer and my void warranties. Â Now I am a believer in using bleach or liquid chlorine...I use it in my pool...but in the small volume of a spa it does not make sense. Â The pH is just too high and the problem with handling bleach is a problem...one slip and you could have irrepairable damage. Â The fear of high CYA has been well documented here and on other forums...I myself check levels periodically, but the fact that you change water on a regular basis really negates any of the problems presented. Â Although he discredits Vermonter's method, Vermonter's credentials are substantial and his opinions are backed with solid experience and testing. Â I have watched Vermonters posts intently for years now and have the highest regard for him.I post this here because I was concerned about the advise and just wanted to present my two cents without having to battle. Â You can take it for what its worth.tony Â
