Ndx Posted August 2, 2020 Report Share Posted August 2, 2020 Hi Guys, I just filled my tub for the first time. ( I filled via filter hole, alternated two holes ) I turned the power on, the tub was initializing, I turned both pumps on high during initialization. Seems like all went well. - hope I did it all ok Should I add some chlorine or aquafinesse right away? What filter cycles should I set, Tub is equipped with Ozone/UV (Aquanova ) Any tips, Thank you!

RDspaguy Posted August 2, 2020 Report Share Posted August 2, 2020 You should not add aquafinesse ever. Read the sticky thread on the dichlor/bleach method in hot tub water chemistry section. Bear in mind that ozone and uv will both eliminate chlorine in your water, so shock after each use and expect low or no chlorine the next day. A new spa should be purged with Ahh-Some spa purge. After testing the spas are often stored for long periods and then shipped around the country which can result in all kinds of nasties growing inside the pipes. Clean that stuff out. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ndx Posted August 2, 2020 Author Report Share Posted August 2, 2020 HI RDspaguy, This tub was literally built 3 days ago and delivered from local factory. So I guess I will skip Ahh-Some, even that I have some for my jacuzzi tub Thank you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ndx Posted August 2, 2020 Author Report Share Posted August 2, 2020 Hi Guys, I did the initial "initialization" with filters installed, should I remove them and re initialize/purge again ? Thx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
