  1. @CanadianSpaTech hi so I've just got home from work and done the same test again, now this time I ran a earth rod into ground and then measured from the water to the rod, same reading a 0.2v. I also did the same wet foot test I know I shouldn't be I wanted to be sure I'm not just going crazy, same result if I am ground and wet feet and touch the water I feel the discomfort of the shock. Now for the fun part.. I switched isolator off and re did the same test and still recieved 0.2v and a tingle when I touch the water and I'm grounded. How?!
  2. @CanadianSpaTech hi thanks for the reply, I have just checked with my multimeter from a nearby earth block and the water is reading 0.2volts. Im certain it isn't anything to do with my electrical supply to the property as that's the industry I work in there's also isn't a transformer or any other power supply near my property apart from the main I'm fed from. The network I'm fed from is a pme system so would placing a seperate earth rod hooked upto the tub solve the problem?
  3. OK I feel like I'm going crazy with this. I work with electricity I'm a cable jointer so I'm somewhat knowledgeable about electric however I'm not a domestic electrician. I've had my had tub for around 12 months and never had an issue until the other day I was balancing the water stood at the side of the hot tub barefooted and I felt a tingling sensation in my finger tips in the water. I tried the same thing but with my shoes on and felt nothing. I removed my shoes again and the sensation came back. I had my electrician round and he couldn't pick any volts up with a test pen and said he can't fell anything (wearing shoes). I've just been out and tried the same test again and whenever I'm barefoot I feel it but the strange thing for me is I only feel it on my fingers where I have cuts in my skin. But as soon as I isolate myself either by lifting my foot from ground or putting my shoe on it disappears. Does anyone have a sure way to test if there is any voltage whatsoever in the water?
  4. Hi Steven, thanks for your reply. No I didn't get the included instructions so thankyou for posting them for me. I will take your advise and do another 2 purges I also didn't know that the water needed to be treated so I will try that too. Thankyou for your help.
  5. Hi ive had my hot tub for 8 months now and i have completely brought this issue upon myself. I havent used the hot tub for the last 2 months but left it running. So a week ago i decided it was time to get back in it. I noticed small yellow flakes at the bottom of the tub, nothing floating, no sort of mold or foam just the deposits on the bottom. Ive contacted a few places to see if they had any idea what it was and i was told biofilm. I am now £120 into cleaning products and 4 days in to scrubbing the hot tub everynight after work. The last product i used was ahh-some it foamed up right away and the foam started to slightly yellow around the edges. I followed the guidance and wiped and wiped constantly then fully drained down cleaned every single area i can get to and ive even used a brush rod to clean the lines from the pump. Ive just filled up again and ran the jets and im still seeing the same small deposits in the water. Im at my whits end please could someone advise on what i am doing wrong or if it is infact biofilm, thankyou.
