  1. Let's say I want to drain, clean, and refill and go straight to bleach, bypassing the dichlor step. Can I just go out and buy some CYA and immediately bring the CYA level up to 30 ppm on the same day I clean, refill, and balance the pH?
  2. Someone posted that aeration only occurs when the waterfall/jets/bubblers are running AND the tub cover is removed. If this is truly the case, then why does the ozonator generally cause the pH to rise 24/7? Or did I misunderstand the relationship between raising pH with air and the placement of the hot tub cover?
  3. Can a weekly MPS shock help reign in the ph rise from the bleach?
  4. Hello spa gurus. New guy, first post, just drained my brand new 2-month old dichlor-dosed Jacuzzi due to a sky-high stabilizer reading. (300+ ppm) I'm going to switch to the dichlor/bleach method if someone can just reassure me about the bleach business. Why are there so many dire warnings out there about not using bleach in hot tubs? I already get the part about pure bleach with no CYA buffer being a problem. Is that really the main reason the warnings are out there? OK, for the new fill (well water)....I've raised the CH to 250 , the TA is starting about 100, and the pH is well below 7. Already hit the tub with 1 TBS dichlor. If I add ph up, the TA will go up too right? So will aeration alone fix my low ph? Oh yeah, what's Purox? Thanks and I sure am glad to find some smart people here. The guys in the pool supply stores are giving me migraines. Bless their hearts.
