Thank you! This is my first hot tub and you helped me so much. Thanks again!!
Your quick and to the point !! I like it ! thx
Very helpful as all your videos are. Thanks
Great video!
Adam please do a video about how to deal with brown/yellow water after shocking the tub? I've just filled our tub fresh from out of storage and after shocking it was brown, I emptied the water, changed the filter, scrubbed the tub as it was stained yellow and refilled. I shocked the tub again, it has done the same thing but not as brown as the first time but I can see the staining on the lid and base of the tub. The chlorine level is ok, the pH is off the scale low so I have added the plus, I just can't bear to have to empty it again and scrub it out....so frustrating! Could it be metals in the water? We have our water from a well but last year we didn't experience this issue. Help??
I'd find this really helpful too. We live in the countryside and our water comes from a natural spring. I've had loads of trouble with the water going sludgy
Thankyou Adam ,I have a question ,what happens if it rains on the hot tub mechanism? Will that harm it?

The pump/heater is fine to leave out in rain. The only issue is water collecting on the lid/cover which is best to try and remove before taking off or the rain water ends up in the tub.
I want to know how to get rid of the little black spots on the inside I think mold. I'm in Australia so don't have these products. Can you suggest something that is easily accessible.
In the absence of Clearwater products shown here, try looking at general mould and mildew removers from supermarket/DIY store. They may be quite harsh, so maybe try on a patch that's not too visible first and give it a good rinse off afterwards.
@@SailingAquila thanks for the reply. Decided to use a very mild bleach solution. 1 part to 3 parts water. This did the job. I left it on for a couple of minutes in each part of the spa (with the spa stood up) then pressure washed it down to make sure i'd got rid of the bleach. Was pretty nervous but it seems to have worked out OK. Other mold removers are just too harsh for the vinyl.
Please do a video on what to do when only using hot tub say a few times on the weekend and what to do when you’re not using it for weeks
Thanks for the suggestion. Roughly speaking, it you use a float with chlorine tablets it it, they should help keep water clean even if you don’t use it for a while.
