Welcome to our forum.
Are you on well water or city water??
Any lessons learned...
Quote from: Calisoldier83 on November 29, 2016, 06:58:04 pmAny lessons learned...Yes. HUGE lesson learned. NEVER add any chemicals unless the water is circulating. Read about my experience here.In hindsight, it might be obvious. But for a newbie, it wasn't. I asked my dealer many questions about chemical strategy and never once did they make this point. Hope this helps.FL Person
Could I ask why you chose the Jacuzzi product? I am considering switching from the Hot Springs product to a Jacuzzi for my second hot tub.
Probably too late, but I would leave it alone. PH a bit high is no biggie, it will come down on it's own. And use the spa when you want, why would you wait?
Unless your water is really messed up, I doubt you have calcium build up already. Can you wipe it off or is it really hard and crunchy?

It was more grimy/greasy than anything else, really hard to get off. Like the adhesive residue leftover after you remove old tape. In some parts there was a haze.

Mine gets the same white ring around the water line. My chemicals are perfectly in line and I recently did a full purge and drain. I bought some of those sponge things that are supposed to collect body oils and stuff. They look and feel like those mr eraser cleaner sponges sold for household use. I let it float around and every day or two I use it to wipe around the edges of my tub where the white film starts to build up. I have no idea what the stuff is but, left alone, it will get thick and sticky and hard to clean. When I did my purge, I used Ahhsome and used some baking soda and a rag to clean the edges. The Ahhsome didn't get all nasty like I've seen in the videos so either I had little biofilm in my new tub or I needed to run it through again. Regardless, it did not fix my issue with the white film.My spa guy told me to use less calcium next time I fill my tub. It is around 250ppm. I get zero foam in my tub but maybe too much calcium is collecting the body oils and stuff and it is settling against the water lines. No clue...but that sponge things does clean the white film very easily.
