I have searched and not found the answers, so if anyone could help, or give advice. I have a * hottub. To make a LONG! story short. The second pump keeps dying, we believe because it keeps blowing the motherboard fuse? Anyways the water has been getting worse and worse. Levels are off. Alkelinity is low, PH is low, bromine looks normal(sometimes the test strip show dark on the inside, and light on the outside, possibly bad strips). I've put alk up, tried to fix the levels, but I can't seem to get it working. The water isn't clear, it looks either blue or green. Smells strongly of chemical(not the bromine smell i dunno). And it gets VERY bubbly. Turn the jets on high and it's like a bubble bath in there. I've cleaned the filter twice since the problem. My hot tub guy(who i try to avoid because he ripped me off when fixing it the first time) says that the water gets stagnant inside the second pump "area" and can make the water go bad. Is this true? If he fixes the pump, will it correct itself? Any helpful advice? Thanks!

I would love to know an answer to this question as well. From what I've heard. Most are bad for your tub, and should be used very sparingly. I'm not hot tub genius, quite the opposite actually. So please chime in if you know more.
