Hi all, I’ve been having an issue with my hot tub lately (past 3 fills) where after 1.5 to 2 months the water becomes “spicy” where you sit in it and can’t help but cough. Also when I open the lid and put the jets on, just being around it you’ll cough; hence the spicyness.
I use a metal cone when starting up with fresh water and the Frog startup pack. I use the Frog floating system on level 3 for chlorine and the rest strips all read accurate. I also use Renew ever other week.
My wife and I use the tub about 3-4 times per week, sometimes less. We don’t shower before entering but at the test strips still read good from keeping up with the chems. When I replace water all is good for 1.5 to 2 months and then back to the spicy water.
any suggestions?
