Slight Yellow Tinge

[TomC]

Hi Everyone,

Our hot tub water went a bit off last month and we managed to get it clarified with no foam but adding bleach. Recently though, the water is a bit yellowish(nothing really noticeable), no odor, and no foam. In short, the water is clear and seems fine except for the very faint yellow tinge. Anyone have any ideas on what may be causing it?

We should add that we are not using any sanitizer at the moment. We were using hydrogen peroxide but while away on holidays friends used the tub and the balance went off. So, since it is summer, we have just trying to keep the water from fouling completely by adding bleach. In the fall we will get serious about it again but in the meantime, is there any explaining why bleach only makes the water a tad yellowish?

Thanks...Tom

You did not put any of your readings in, and did you say you are mixing bleach and peroxide? your water may all ready be fouled if you are doing that. You need to give more information for people to be able to help you.

Hi Everyone,

Sorry for not posting our numbers - we have been away.Anyhow, we added some clarifier, changed the filter, and boom, looks like a million bucks again.

We have been using the bleach method of late and it is working really well. Totally undecided if we will return to Hydrogen peroxide, time will tell.

Thanks Again...Tom
