AMN Posted July 27, 2021 Report Share Posted July 27, 2021 I recently purchased a home with a spa but have no documentation on it - heater and both pumps blew within weeks of having it so replaced those - after spending the money I am trying to get some more use out of this before I break down and buy a new one. I have used a filter on the hose to refill, had water delivered, tried non-chlorine shock, taken the water to spa places to have it analyzed and put in what they told me too - matter what the water turns brown with any type of chemical treatment. the previous owner only used it herself and probably showered before every use. She said she through in a chlorine puck every once in awhile (normally used for pools) and described it as “low maintenance”. She had metal out - and Lea sure time ph up down in the garage as well as other chemicals. how do I figure out if it’s my hot tubs pipes that are just completely shot? Or maybe it’s my well pipes and I should get them dug and replaced with PVC because even if I bought a new spa the same situation would still occur? Or a specialist to advise how to clean/balance the water? anyone who has dealt with stubborn issues like this ? Thank you!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
waterbear Posted September 1, 2021 Report Share Posted September 1, 2021 sounds like you have a lot of iron in your water. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
broberts Posted September 1, 2021 Report Share Posted September 1, 2021 What is your toilet tank condition ? If the inside is all stained with rusty colours then I would also suspect iron. If the toilet tank is clear the there is something in the spa plumbing and a clean out with a real good purge like AhhSome would be worth a try Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
