Welcome to our forum.
How often do you recommend testing the water quality? My tub is 2 weeks old and I'm consistently testing the water, because my PH, Alkalinity , Chlorine are up/down. This is causing me to add more and more chemicals every day.Is the best practice to test once a week ? I'm using Dichlor 1-2 TBL after each soak. Right after I add this my Chlorine shot up between 5 - 10 ppm. The next day I check and i'm down to zero. PH seems to roam between good to low, its never high.My Alkanility started out ok, than dropped and I've been increasing it every day. Right now it's good sitting at 110ppm.I'm testing with dip sticks and just order a Taylor test kit. The other night, i borrowed a pool kit, and my PH was way high and chlorine was still sitting at zero. The pool kit only tested total chlorine not free chlorine. At this point I haven't added anything to the water and plan to level things for a couple of days, except 1-2 tbls od diclor after each use.Is this a good plan to wait a few days?
Ok, my tub is 500 gallonsAfter a soak is it 1-2 tsps/tbls per person? And do you do this after each use or final soak of the day? Right now since it's new we have different people using the tub at different times (Wife and I, than the grown-up kids with friends)
