I am here in 2022 to tell you that THIS METHOD WORKS PERFECTLY!!!!! When we first got our Spa in February 2022, after only 5-6 weeks the water went cloudy, and nothing we could do seemed to solve it completely. By that time the CYA was above 100, and so the Chlorine was basically ineffective. After 2-3 more months of fighting the problem, we drained the thing and started over. We read like crazy (hours and hours), and talked at length with our local Pool store. We were determined to figure this out. Something was wrong with modern spa care; we were NOT going to drain it every 2 months! So, we found the method above. The science behind it made sense, and so I followed this method exactly. AND IT WORKS PERFECTLY. I followed the startup exactly, and now here's my absurdly simple maintenance: Add Bleach after usage (I use 6 oz per person hour, 7.5% bleach, any brand, unscented) When the PH slowly goes up (it will), add acid (just like a pool) And THAT is ALL I do. That is ALL that is required. If it ever gets excessively cloudy, we'll add some Clarifier in addition to the Bleach. After a day, it's back to crystal clear. And our water is CRYSTAL CLEAR!! No smell, no foaming, perfectly beautiful. Yes, yes, yes. STOP using Dichlor one you hit CYA = 30, and switch to bleach. Your troubles are over!!!
