I just finished watching a few other videos on how to start up a spa. You are the first to talk about bromine. It was recommended to me to only use bromine in a spa. I guess there are contradicting opinions on this. Thanks for your input. Video was helpful.
I found this vid after I shocked (Dichlor) my hot tub of course and of course the PH levels are low. Should I start over or just test the chlorine levels after I get the PH levels right and then adjust?
I adjusted my ph to around 7.6, then added my granulated chlorine, but didn't add the liquid calcium balancer. Can I add it once my chlorine level drops to the normal range or should I add it now? Thanks.
I’m running into an issue with my inflatable hot tub. I’ve yet to be able to use the dang thing! Everything is way low aside from chlorine & free chlorine. They are sky high. I’ve let it run with bubbles on in the sun, there hasn’t been chlorine put in for about 10 days
Hi Chanel! Typically, you would add your metal sequestering agent in first and follow the directions on the bottle. Next you would check and adjust your pH and alkalinity before putting your sanitizer in. This can all be done while the spa is heating up. Hope this helps! -Kayla
My husband was impatient and put in 2 trichlor tablets, in a floater, before testing the ph, alkalinity or calcium hardness. Is this a problem and will we need to empty the tub and start over?
Good question! Tri-chlor tablets are not an approved sanitizer. I would empty the spa and use di-chlor granules. Tri-chlor tablets could be harmful to the spa's acrylic shell. Hope this helps! -Kayla
You showed three chemicals used to maintain the spa, are these all you need and how can I order these same three? I like the idea the chemicals are labeled "up" or "Down". I'm blond so I need simplicity. :) Thanks.
Hi Teresa! We recommend you clean the spa shell, jets, and other controls with a soft cloth and spa shell cleaner to help remove residue and buildup on the shell surface. For mineral based buildup, white vinegar or mild scale remover products may be necessary to use with a soft cloth for removal. Rinse the cleaned surfaces with fresh water from your garden hose and wipe with a soft cloth while doing so to help remove residual cleaning agents as some may cause foaming to occur in the water once your tub is filled again. To purchase the proper spa cleaning products, consult with your local Master Spas dealer. Hope this helps! -Kayla
Hi! This video is specifically for chemicals when first starting up your hot tub, for regular chemical maintenance and routine water care, we recommend you watch this video: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-8L71OoVnJ2g.html -Kayla
Do you contionuisly run the pump?... Ive yet seen a video which tells how many hrs. a day you should run one. Thanks for the video and please SOMEONE advice this ole fool.
Hi Billy! That depends on if you have a 24-hour circulation pump or if your pump 1 on low speed does the filtering. If your pump 1 does your filtering/circulating, our standard would a 4-hour filter cycle or two 2-hour cycles, but this is all dependent on the spa usage. For more help, I would advise reaching out to our customer service team by emailing customerservice@masterspas.com or calling (800) 860-7727. Hope this helps! -Kayla
