Title: Water surface all bubbly
Post by: cocky on August 28, 2010, 02:13:01 pm
Do you know something about water chemistry? I'm worried.
The water surface in HS aria is all bubbly and sth like small dusty pieces. And its getting worse from day to day. This is happening after I cleaned the filters for the first time. I didnt use any detergent or gel, only water with clorine and then washed them very thoroughly. I checked pH and its ok, did 2 clorine shocks in 2 days, the bubbles still there. I also tried to remove (capture, dont know the right expression) this with a very fine layer of cotton, but still there. Don't know what else to do.. Maybe sth informative, when I start jets and then shutdown them, the water looks very nice. But after half an hour, bubbles come again..

I add few photos so you can get the idea what I am talking about. Anyone knows where the problem is?
Tnx

maybe it's time for a water change.

Sounds similar to something we had, take a look at:   http://www.whatsthebest-hottub.com/forum/index.php/topic,12683.0.html    (http://www.whatsthebest-hottub.com/forum/index.php/topic,12683.0.html)

It worked for us.

I'm no expert on water chemistry (but I did stay in a holiday inn express last night  8)) but from the pictures it looks like soap to me?  How long since the last water change?
