We bought a South Seas Spa 744L in October. When getting it delivered, they went over maintanece with my husband--simply saying, rinse filter weekly, change Nature 2 every 4 months, add chlorine granules after every use(about a capful)--when we run out of this-start using renew(again, capful per person/use), and put enzyme in it weekly. I've been doing all that, but the 2 days(not consequtive) we didn't use the spa-no chemicals were added--the first time, water got cloudy-the 2nd time(2 days ago), kinda cloudy w/an odor. I used the chlorine granules(bought more) and shocked it, now it's slightly cloudy-odor's gone. I am thinking all is not right only doing these things. I've read nitro's guide--but I am a dummy and like to be told specific amounts. I was debating about doing the 5 oz chlorox 6% per person/hour and then doing the dichlor and renew treatment weekly. Right now, I only have test strips. With the nature 2, if we use renew-which is non-chlorine, the strip won't read any chlorine, right? Any help or advice is welcome...just do it in layman's terms so I can understand. Thanks in advance.

http://www.nature2.com/spaproducts/cense.asp I am going to try to order this, it's suppose to go with the N2, I've been using renew(I think, it's the non-chlorine stuff). I am not sure if anyone has any experience with it--but I like the fact that it's got added aeromatherapy.

103--wow, how long are you able to stay in when it's that hot?? We have ours set to 99 or 100 and my husband can't hardly sit for 20 minutes at that temp(I can sit for a long time and not get too hot!!).

We are new to owning a hot tub(we've had it for 2 weeks today), and I noticed the water was cloudy yesterday--I am assuming we weren't putting enough chlorine in it. The dealer told us to put in a capful of granules per person, we are using the leisure time stuff--plus it has a nature 2 cartridge. Anyways, I seen the product called Cense online that is suppose to go along with the nature 2 and am curious if anyone has used it?? http://www.nature2.com/spaproducts/cense.asp I have used the essence stuff in the water(a very small amount--the sample has been used probably 7 times and I still have some in it). Thanks for any help!!
