Welcome to our forum.
can you take your first soak? I tested with an mps strip and everything looks about right... I'm using Dichlor and Nature2I hope I can get the hang of this!
Rachel,Am I understanding this correctly?? You got the spa and filled it last week but there was a problem with the electrical and you just actually got it running today??? And you're not dumping the water that was sitting with no circulation for a week???If so, I'd probably want to put in lots of dichlor to kill anything that was growing for the past week and then wait for the dichlor level to get back to normal before actually using the tub. You mention testing MPS - did you also test for calcium hardness, TA and pH???Susan
The tub is for the entire family, at least that's how it is in our house. I've talked to more than a few people who've bought spas and say the kids won't be allowed in or it's only for the parents, blah, blah, blah and I find that sad. Its a great place for a family get together. However, it sure is nice when the kids go to bed, especailly with that privacy fence I saw in your picture.
