But exactly what type of plastic were the leaf trap lids?
If you can't sell it on eBay, it may not even qualify as landfill.

Retired (mostly) from the industry after 33 years...but still putzing around with a consumer information website, and trying to sell obsolete owners manuals

Thanks to everyone for the replies.

I have a Master Spa called the dealer he said he has some customers using Soft Spa with no issues. He told me it takes a while to get balance but then most people like the stuff.

Any ideas about CD ozone, read on another post you cannot have Ozone with this stuff.

You need to read your warranty.  Some manufacturers say biguanides will void warranty.

No problems with ozone.

I bet it was Lexan, Baker Hydro had the same problem many, many years ago when Baqua started. The test data showed it was the Hydrogen Peroxide in the shock causing the problem.

Sorry to side track this thread, but I think we are doing this newbie a disservice. It looks like he may be seriously considering switching sanitization methods and the conversation has switched to what will happen to his tub, not what has happened to his wife.

In two weeks of tub ownership, you are usually not great at balancing your water. To just give up on one method and switch to another (especially a controversial method), might just make matters worse.
I think of Chas good council about dumping that very first fill when water issues develop. I think that Rkuki is giving up too easily. He hasn't really had time to master chlorine sanitization.

How about Windsurf?  You have a Master Spa, and if I remember correctly, you use chlorine...
Support your dealer so they can support you!
