Bromine is all you need. Water is so cheap we just flush the tub when it gets skunky. Really not worth the hassle of trying to fix thing.
Get yourself setup to flush things quickly.

It’s not about the cost of the water. It’s about it being a massive pain in the ass to flush, drain, clean, fill, balance and heat.

It’s an all day affair. Why do it every month or so when you can just take care of the water and be done with it.

Chlorine (or bromine whatever) fixes nearly all sins in a tub. That and keeping your filters clean.

For everything else there is whatever changes.

Well… it’s alive, all pumps work, appears to be heating… lights come on. No magic smoke leaking out of the ecopak… will see what the morning holds before I call it a success

Fucking hot tubs… so after this repair, I survived last winter, then some time around June? It died again, 4 dashes on the screen… internet said global processing board… and yup, that was still the original from before the exploding MB, made sense… of course none in stock, back ordered at paradise bay, got put on a list… don’t remember getting a call, but with the amount of spam calls these days who knows.

Ffwd to now, remembered I had a hot tub and called them, yup they had it in stock… installed and it works again.

One thing the internet doesn’t tell you is that you need to set it up for the tub, came default for 5 pumps, I have 3… so I was getting an error and pump 3 wouldn’t fire. Called the shop up and they walked me through setup so that was good.

Had just flipped the breaker and left it closed all summer when it died… was expecting a near empty tub full of green… but it was still full and surprisingly not that bad… cloudy for sure… tossed all the chemicals in it and it’s heating up now… already fairly clear so that’s cool… will see what sorts of rashes this leads to

All in all, decent issue, easy install and only $300! Would recommend this problem

So you just used the water that sat stagnant for the entire summer? ugh.

Well… going to test it obviously, but yeah… #ecofriendly

No heat or UV, was fully sanitized… it’s really not what I was expecting for quality when I opened it

Chlorine breaks down almost everything.

Add even more chlorine and you'll be fine.

Yeah, fully crushed tabs in there and the floater is wide open… plus a healthy dose of shock and the other luxury conditioners too

[gwill]

just drain your water and start fresh if it sat for that long.... it's $5 worth of water.

[vengie]

It's not the money bro. Don't you know we are in a climate emergency?????!!

My lawn doesn’t need anymore help being dead… would need to wait for the chlorine to burn off at this point… the initial reasoning to leave it as is was to clear the the slim out of the pipes and into the old filter… and also get in there and give the walls a good scrub, then swap to a fresh filter and if the TDS isn’t too bad I will leave it as is till before the weather turns and refill then to be fresh throughout the winter and runoff seasons.

You drain your tub into your yard? Pick up a $50 princess auto sump pump and drain it into a sink. You pay for drainage when you filled the tub last. Why would you want to dump that shit into your soil?

[ercchry]

It’s like 6ft from the gutter… Not really a concern when the chlorine is burned off

[lamp_shade_2000]

[ercchry]

It’s also downhill… could run a hose if I really cared… but dogs, so that’s way worse on the lawn haha

[gwill]

chlorine won't kill your grass if your in the 3 to 5 ppm range. I drain on my lawn all the time. Never killed my grass once.

Where do you live?

Anyone still have their inflatable tub set up? Wife said fuck it and told me to leave it out and operating for the winter. I threw a blanket and old carpet over the head unit to keep the cold air/wind from getting at it. Even thru the cold snap, works like a charm. Snow doesn't touch it as it has a gazebo over it.

We don't use it when it is super cold. Supposed to be quite mild for next few days. Will probably use it over next few days.

Is there anyone Beyond would recommend to come and do a deep clean and service on a hot tub? We just bought a house with one and I know nothing about them. The family that owned it had 6 kids, so we would want a good cleaning done.

Pour some in. Run the tub, then drain and clean the walls. It's easy.

I'd come clean it for your but you wouldn't like my rate.

This is basically what any service company would do with the only difference being the -$500 out of your pocket
