Hi, it is new for me that I have yo put in chemecals directly in the spa - the chlorine I use it says I have to mix it in a bucket with pool water. So what is the best method?
Hopefully u respond I think I have mustard algae I’m gonna use sodium bromide & shock together my question is should I do this at night ? I’m asking because I no it’s better to shock at night and also should I shock with liquid shock or cal hypo for better results? Help me !!!!!
You mention adding the chemicals to the water - Manual for my hottub says add them directly into the filter compartment. Any reason why those seem to be in conflict?
After neutralizing muriatic acid with baking soda, can i dump that in the grass? I am trying to clean my filters from when we didnt have concrete around the pool. A lot of dirt got into the pool and no matter how many times i clean them they are dirty.
I have a bullfrog spa and I use the mineral and choline canisters. My problem is I register no chlorine at all despite cranking up the canister to its highest level (4) and all of my other levels (alk, pH, etc) are fine. I'm suppose to have a reading of about 0.5 with the mineral pack but it's essentially 0. I've tried about everything..even bought new straps etc with no resolution. Do you have any suggestions?
@@nyan.m don't mix them together but you can use shock. Same idea as adding muriatic acid and chlorine. They can both go in the pool but don't mix them together first lol
Hi iv jfilled up my tub 2 days ago put in all the chemical in the order that's required checked the levels with the clearwater strips shows all good got into tub and water is cloudy I didn't check the filter can I take it off while the tub is full of water...
Yes absolutely, the water isn’t being stopped by the filter just going through it. Take it off, spray with a jet stream on the water hose and put it back on
Hi. I have a jacuzzi with 8000 litr of water. This is in my gym. There is a problem. I balance the ph and alkalinity. But the free chlorine disappear after a few hours. I use powder chlorine (granules) This jacuzzi is indoor. In my country I can not find shock . Can I shock the jacuzzi with granules chlorine? Please help 🙏
Why does my Alkalinity in my salt water pool continue to be high even though I add Acid? Will this just be a constant issue?? Thank you and I love your page!!!
This is wrong regarding Bromine. If your using bromine, and dont want to wait days for the tablets to dissolve. Its much easier to just use bromine booster to establish a base. Key point though when using a booster, you need to also use some shock to activate it. Once a proper level is established with the booster, you then use the tablets to maintain the levels
@@SwimUniversity why you won’t? I was just wondering why they don’t make this product. I’ve actually seen one brand that says alkalinity and ph decreaser.
You have great info on pools and hot tubs but I feel like there is nothing on in ground spas. Most of your hot tub information about temperature doesn’t relate to in ground gas heated hot tubs. Or you don’t mention the differences. Do any of your online courses cover this.
Just bought a hot tub and filling it up for first time - this video is SO helpful. Thank you!
I should have watched this video first, the guy that we bought from had me shock right away...
Thank you! Very helpful by detailed explanation.
Do I have to know if previous owners used chlorine or bromine?

Can I add chemicals with the bromine floater in and can I sit in my hot tub with the floater in?

Contact frog water care directly. Their support line is very helpful. I'm assuming you have one of the frog systems since it's inline.
Awesome video, thanks!
Can you update these numbers to take Ozonators into account?
What numbers would you like updated?

If I have a bromine hot tub, that I shock once weekly with a non-chlorine oxidizing shock, can I also shock it as needed with a CHLORINE SHOCK?
NO! Don’t mix chlorine and bromine
@@nyan.m don't mix them together but you can use shock. Same idea as adding muriatic acid and chlorine. They can both go in the pool but don't mix them together first lol
Yes.

Hi.
I have a jacuzzi with 8000 litr of water.
This is in my gym.
There is a problem.
I balance the ph and alkalinity.
But the free chlorine disappear after a few hours.
I use powder chlorine (granules)
This jacuzzi is indoor.
In my country I can not find shock .
Can I shock the jacuzzi with granules chlorine?
Please help 🙏
s you can shock with chlorine granules. One teaspoon per 100 gallons.
So I can use bleach as chlorine and baking soda for alkalinity? What can I use for shock
Hey, if you haven't done so already can you please do a video regarding inflatable hot tub maintenance?
Bro...
It's all the same
@@obviouslytwo4u🎉x XD 😮🎉😅
Do I need to wait a full hour before adding bromine?
Thanks great video.
I noticed a few specs of rust on my seats. I assume I need “metal out”?

Great video!! The store I bought my hot tub sold me everything under the sun. Nothing worked. Your video is simple and effective. Thank you!
How to buy big intex pool in India?
You have to shock your hot tub for first use so it will activate the bromine or chlorine that you added.
Where do you do this in the sequence?
How do you make the water cooler in the summer months?
Just lower your temperature
Cool thanks

Thanks for offering another way! What kind of shock do you use?
You are incorrect about there not being an Alkalinity decreaser. Muriatic acid does this exceptionally well.
Yes! Good distinction there. You just won't find an Alkalinity Decreaser on the shelves.
@@SwimUniversity why you won’t? I was just wondering why they don’t make this product. I’ve actually seen one brand that says alkalinity and ph decreaser.
