Welcome to our forum.
I'm glad you posted this. Your absolutely right... bad water can happen very quickly! I thought of a couple of other things that may have been the cause as well.*poor filtration (may need to clean the filters)*some jets may have been "closed off" not allowing water to flow through, and when they were "opened" the "stagnant" water entered the tub.*or a possible build up or high dose of organic materialsThere's probly more that I didn't think of as well.
We are somewhat of a Newbie, about 3 mo's into tubbing.Had a similar situation where our water became cloudy after friends used it having "slathered" with some type of sunblock before getting in.For what it's worth we did the following:First, cleaned our filters, did an MPS shock, then a Dichlor shock to bring it up to about 10ppm, also added a little Sea Klear. (All at different intervals).Didn't totally clear up the water, but helped quite a bit.Let the circ. pump and ozonator, do their thing for about 5 days, then repeated the previously listed shock routine.Water came back to clear again.Not positive, but think that doing an occasional Dichlor shock at 10+ppm does much to clear up the cloudy water in addition to cleaning the filters and keeping the circ. pump going 24/7. The PH and Alk. were kept in range also.Don't know if this is any help but it worked for our water cloudiness.
Tell the truth, Vinny....it was too much olive oil!
Remember to never add shock and clarifier at the same time. You will get some beautiful brown bubbles
I went into my tub Mon night and when I was done added a "dose" of dichlor - 1 teaspoon. This is a typical amount for a single soaker that gives me about 1.5 PPM.
I think it is an excellent point regarding the jets being shut off. when I first read, I was like, "does not apply to me, I keep all of min on", but of course we all have our favorite seats, and the diverters are set to them, not to the vacant ones!! I will be sure to rotate on the diverters after adding Chlorine after soaking to push through the stuff and also get chlorine water into the pipes.
As for the two diverters, I make a point of rotating both to the center position upon exiting the tub.
