I switched from baquaspa to nature2 about a month ago. That was a fantastic decision! Any baqua spa lovers want to buy a bunch of unopened chemicals? Seriously, I have a bunch of them.

Yes. You're probably going to need to fine tune over the course of a few days anyway. Just keep an eye on pH, and adjust TA accordingly. Thanks. I've got the process started. I should be up to temp tomorrow, as I have the heater on now. I let it go a few days and picked up 15 degree temp rise for free. My TA/ PH balancing has never gone very well. I may have more questions after things get up to temp.

It does scratch off. I cleaned it all out of the filter canister. Now that you mention calcium, I can probably have a sample of it tested for calcium content where I work.

I have been struggling with cloudy water in a used spa I got about a year and half ago. I am wondering if it is due to a plumbing sealer / leak fix chemical that the previous owner might have put in. This is just a guess, but I am wondering this because the filter housing had what looked like a coat of white paint in it. Is there something else that would put a heavy white paint like layer inside there? Thanks!

This forum is great! I have a question. Is it ok/accurate to balance at a cold water temp, as in 54 degree well water?
