Hi, I have a 450 gallon J-470 Jacuzzi. Every time I perform a refill, I constantly have to add muriatic acid for about 3-4 days straight to get TA and PH at target. I'm using 14.5% strength from Home Depot. I'm going from a pH of 8 to 7.5 so thepoolcalculator calls for about 3 TBSP by volume. That doesn't make a dent. I added about 20-25 TBSP over the course of 4 days to get TA down perfectly to 50 ppm and pH at 7.4. It's a long process in my eyes and it doesn't reflect what pool calculator recommends. I added about 2 TBSP at a time. I'm trying to shorten this interval next time to 1 or 2 days. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

To clarify, do I spread out the borate into multiple doses? Do you run the jets when you add it? I normally premix my boric acid in cold water then distribute across the spa all at once and run jets for 20 min. I have the same question for the calcium as well.

I'm on a fresh fill. Whenever I added boric acid in the past, I added it all at once. After that the water always gets cloudy. My tub calls for 18oz (around 2 cups worth). I also add 7oz of calcium, but not sure if I need to space that out as well? Any advice?

Hello, I was looking at simple solutions to dispensing bleach out of 121oz Costco sized bleach container. I thought a Pump Dispenser would be a good, however, I have seen reviews on amazon where the spring oxidizes. Looking for a clean way to use it, especially since I'm normally using it in low light conditions so pouring isn't exactly convenient. Thanks.
