Decontamination Question - Leaving Drained For Awhile

[mikef135]

Hi All,

It's week 2 and smooth sailing except for this slow leak issue I have. Loosing about 1/2" per week and I see minor evidence of water not drying under the tub / wood foundation so not the greatest way to leave things. Could not track this one down easily and have a fully foamed spa. I am planning another stop leak treatment but would like to let the spa dry out for a week or so, fill er up and then try again in addition to some re-caulking around the skimmer I am hoping may help if it is leaking there. Have been in this thing every day since the start up so not looking forward to this!

Question is do I need to super shock to 50ppm for a hour or so and drain (because I left the tub unprotected for a week) or just shock to 10ppm every day for a few once the final water is in place. According to the spa depot leak stuff I have you don't have to drain if the water quality is good but I probably will.

Thanks,

-Mike
