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.
