How often do you Dichlor?
« on: June 22, 2004, 05:20:06 pm »
Question to all who use Dichlor - how often do you add and how much?

It seems the only way we are able to maintain a consistent 3-5 ppm is to check and add about 1.5 -2 tsp of dichlor every single day.    Every other day we could handle, but every day is too much!   We just got a 2 y.o. Sundance Cameo last week.   We keep adding dichlor but it seems to quickly fall to unacceptable levels.     We go out of town for 2-3 days and occasionally for a week w/ no one available to add chems, not sure what we are going to do.  Maybe we will need to switch to Bromine with an auto-feeder?

Background:
It has a Ozonator.
So far only myself and wife have used it, roughly every other day.
The water good quality municipal.
The pH is 7.5
Alkaline is around 80.

Thanks!

I agree with snuggles.  You will get a wealth of info there.  It is impossible to maintain a chlorine level in a spa.  Add a little after use, let it do its job and the next time you use your spa, you will be soaking in clean low chorine water.
