My Son and daughter just went to Doctors they both came down with rash. No one else in family has it. The rash is Pseudomonads a bacteria found in pools hot tubs wherever warm wet is. It looks like infected mosqito bites, and they say painful. I believe it will only affect some people, not all. It seems I havent been putting in enough my shock chemicals. Looking it up on my PC, recomends me empty spa disinfect, then refill. However I am going to my spa dealer and ask him first. The rash will last about 2 weeks then go away on its own, however it can cause other problems, so I recommend you get water tested, and seek medical help.

Thank You! I thought it was a type of shock.

I bought start up kit from walmart has PH stable, and bromating granules, the granules say sodiumdichloro-s-triazinetrione 82.5% , sodium Bromide 14.7 I am wondering is these granules what everyone is talking about spa shock???? I did not add the PH stailizer because it showed my PH was just above soft, that is what their test strips showed. However after 1 1/2 weeks water is a little smelly, I have been adding 2tsp of granules about every other day. 4 tsp when my daughter and her children come over. I add granules after we use spa. I have a 400 gallon spa. I just dont know if these granules are shock? They say they are sanitizer.

ALRIGHTY THEN!! AGAIN I LOVE THIS SITE AND THE PEOPLE! THANKS AGAIN wish I could bake ya a cake LOL

I guess that means he will be hooking up load center on my already excisting electrical pole and box? 25ft of 3/6 with ground. does that mean the 3/6 is the copper wire required plus whatever wire I need. LOL In other words all I lack buying is 25 ft. of3/6 with ground, since I have GFCI box already?

I have a freind doing my wiring for my new spa. YES he is liscenced and insured. He is doing this at no charge to me, so good to have smart freind. HOWEVER, he works off shore, and I am unable to get in touch with him, only when he is in town 1 weekend a month. I would like to purchase everything he needs to hook spa up for me, when he is here next week. I have purchased GFCI load center with spa. I live in trailor, so I have electrical pole and box in back yard for electrical to trailor ,aprox. 25 ft. from sun deck where spa is. My directions to spa says ELECTRICAL REQIREMENT CHART spa series Coastal Rating 220V Branch Circuit 4 wire GFCI protection 50amp COPPER CONDUCTOR CHART Circut Breaker 50a Max. Amp 40a Min Wire size 6 OK OK ???? will it be hooked to my exsisting electrical box, then to purchased GFCI box? According to the measured 25 ft. distance from pole to where spa is located what do I need 25 ft. of #6 copper wiring? What electrical wire do I need to buy? Its says 4 wire, how long or is that for just in box? GOSH I know, I am confusing myself. PLEASE dont tell me to wait and ask him. WHAT I NEED TO KNOW IS WHAT ALL DO I NEED TO PURCHASE FOR HIM TO HOOK UP SPA??? IF You can help me a Miracle will occur LOL THANKS Vickie

THANK YOU ! THANK YA"LL WOW I am so glad I found this site. Everbody has been so helpful. I will be back, all great advice with wonderful encouragment.

Thank You for help. Can you tell me what chemicals I have to buy? I have seen start-up packs but is all those chemicals necessary? I wondered is this right bromine granules, chemical free shock,and when I first fill spa metal x?

I thought when I purchased Del ozonztor for spa, I wouldnt need chemicals, or at least not much? Help I think someone found a chump. I dont even know what to buy? I also was SHocked, I didnt know I had to change water every 2 to 3 months, gosh this sounds like I may have gotten my self in a money fix, 400 gallons adds up on a water bill. Please dont tell me I"m stupid, I already know. Also I bought a blu Water Spa Malibu any comments on that?
