Super noob Posted March 14, 2006 Report Share Posted March 14, 2006 Hey all I just picked up a 1994 Thermospas Park ave 5 per with an ozonator for 5hundie. I will be starting it up soon, it has been empty for 2 years. Any suggestions on the order of operations and supplies that Iwill need. I hope to avoid buying poor quality or useless items by taking some advice from the board. Thanks for your time Super noob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for your time Super noob I hope that it wasn't sitting in the freezing cold during the 2 years with water left in the lines. Go to a local dealer for a startup chemical kit. Non-chlorine and chlorine shock, mineral and scale prevention and an ionizer cartrige will do the trick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Call around some of the dealers in your area and you should be able to find some. That will remove the scum from the lines. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
