I just bought a house that has a outdoor hot tub, so I gonna be busy with all your videos.
I just want to give you an appreciative thank you! I watched at least a dozen of your videos… twice each! Then I wrote down all the instructions in sequence. Then I ordered all the products from Amazon including the cover cradle. I am finally using my spa after it sat dormant for two years! I now have a habit of checking the water every Saturday morning, and it’s usually perfect! It was an investment to get all the chemicals and the cradle, but so was my spa! And I started it from scratch by emptying all the water, even used the filter when I refilled it, I followed every step you gave perfectly, it was a lot of work but now it’s no work at all.
And, yes I switched from chlorine to bromine in the floater, I also purchased the jar of bromine granules when I need it sanitized right away,
Folks, I am a 76-year-old single woman who lives alone with no help, and if I can do this, and so can you!
Everything I know about hot tub maintenance I’ve learned from you Jeff! Great videos, keep ‘em coming!
Great having you back Jeff. Love these helpful videos.
Thank you so much for this! It was great to see someone actually put the products in the tub
What a great and extremely clear explanation. This was helpful. I feel confident in maintaining my hot tub now.
Bromine makes your hair PURPLE....omg nobody told me....
PS. Great video man :)
Lol....
A1¹
😂
You beat me to this punchline lmaooo my thoughts exactly
This is perfect instruction for tubs out of warranty. Thanks in advance, Spa Tech.
Glad you’re making videos again, and love the new look! You’re looking great!
Hey! I haven't see an upload from you in a year I think. Glad you're back!
Thanks for the info! Have come back to this video a few times.
That's was crystal clear! Thanks
I wish I had seen this video a year ago when I got the Hottub for my Airbnb villa. I have come up with this exact setup on my own, but it took months of fiddling at first.
Many people say that you cannot combine chlorine and bromine, which made me avoid chlorine shock. But it is precisely the combination where my guests pour in a tablespoon of chlorine shock every night that keeps the water clean.
Thanks for commenting! I answered your question in a new video I just shot, so look for that video to come out the week of 10/24/22! Thanks for being here! - Jeff
Your comment about turning on every water feature was a good one. thank you.

Great content! Thanks! ❤
Great information thanks.
Thank you for this amazing info! What is the thing floating on top of the water in your hot tub. Not the bromine dispenser but the bigger thing. Thank you!
I was just like your neighbour. Now it's easy. Thank you!
THANK YOU!!!
Jeff, love your videos. Is silver ion cartridge necessary? It sits in the center of my current filter. I’m getting ready to switch from chlorine where it was highly recommend it to Bromine.
Thank god for your channel! I am about to get my Jacuzzi hot tub and found so much useful info on your channel.

@Joe I thought Jacuzzi hot tubs only used chlorine not bromine?
I will have to ask my jacuzzi dealer about that but glad you mentioned it.
@@vflytrap7158other way round Bromine rather than chlorine
My new spa came with some two part O Care water softener, and I like how it makes the water feel on your skin. It’s very expensive though. Do you suggest any less expensive alternative? Also, how often do you use the shock?
Thank you
Great video. How often do you need to add shock.
Floating feeders usually end up in front of the skimmer pulling concentrated corrosive sanitizer through expensive components (heater, pumps, sensors) also chlorine and bromine drop the ph causing acidic water (also corrosive). Has made me a Lot of money over 35yrs of servicing. Mineral silver is preferred to avoid causing costly corrosive problems and just as easy and has No smell or skin irritation
I’ll definitely look that up! Thanks!
What brand do you recommend? Maybe I’m looking up the wrong thing, but I can’t find it.
@@TheAdamsHomeStead - Nature 2 mineral cartridge
Are you using just the silver cartridge exclusively or also using chlorine and or bromine? I use copper ion for my pool over the last 11 years and it's fabulous but I do use non chlorine shock in the South Florida summers once a week.
@@Optimization_Coach - Enhanced Shock by Spaguard has the necessary chlorine needed to activate the silver in the cartridge. Shock weekly and add about a tsp anytime spa is being used for best results
Thank you for a well explained Video! However I have a Question please: Does the swim Spa should be running 24 hours at 7 days a Week??????? or Can be switch off if not in use?????? Thank you Regards Anthony
Got some water care tips for inflatable hot tubs or would it be similar?
What chemicals should I use to turn my hair purple ? Thank you.
After you use shock should should there be white film on top. Also do you filter after you use shock treatment?
All of my levels are good however excess gone some of the time we add defoamer any suggestion on anything else I can do also I have done water changes on halfway down and it still happens
Hey, i was wondering, do you add anything after each use? Or just weekly? If you do, what do you yku add?
Hi,
I've heard a lot of people say turn the jets on but without the air. Also, my water is just a tiny bit cloudy now after only having it for 5weeks. I don't have shock! Is this what I need to do. Is to buy a shock and treat weekly.
I also have stablised chlorine Granules and Chlorinating Granules. What's the difference with these. I also have a floaty that I use but the fast action tablets dissappear instantly.
I'm sure there are larger tablets there but they smell really strong.
I bought this 2nd hand but it's under 1 year old and less than half the price I snapped it up. Its just the 2 loungers and 1 seat area but I recon you could get 5 in it.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated
Many thanks and happy new year.
Ian.
Can you use bromine tablets with a tub that has a UV light? I was told bromine breaks down quickly with UV exposure
Does the BROmine turn your hair purple?
Did chlorine do that to your hair, hence the reason for the use of bromine?
My issues with management is that I have well water that is super high in iron. I always think I have it figured out.. And it starts to get cloudy on me with the jets on. Clear and clean otherwise.
Hi, i am going away for 18 days and i am concerned about what to do with my hot tub. Should i drain it since i dont have someone to watch it for me? Should i use a tab floater to keep iy chlorinated? What would you suggest? I do not need to worry about freezing as its warm now.
Do you leave the floating bromide in water while I’m in tub soaking ?
Can I just ask how do you know how many tablets to add to the floater.
I have to add a teaspoon and a half of chlorine everyday and run the jets for 30 mins, whether i use the hot tub or not. But the water stays blue and clear. Would you say that's normal or no ?
I’m a brand new hot tub owner. Is the hot tub filtering all the time when the power is on or only when you turn the jets on?
So you covered sanitizing very well, however, you didn’t really talk about how to adjust the PH. If the PH is high /low, how do you adjust that??
how is swaping bromine "sanatizer" and chlorine "sanitizer" in the tub potentially dangerous? And how is it any different from using a chlorine shock?
how often should the jest run?
Were you changing filters the day of this recording? I noticed your cover skimmer was floating in the background 🤔
Can you add epsom salt to hot tubs???
Hi Jeff I’m wanting to shock my 1000L hot tub with 15% sodium hypochlorite, I would ordinarily use 20g chlorine granules, could you tell me how much liquid chlorine this would relate to, I’m thinking 20ml ?
So with a hot tub, we only need to really worry about alkalinity pH, and chlorine or bromine? We just bought an inflatable 220 gallon hot tub from Bestway and I’m still trying to learn the chemicals.
Is it necessary to change the water out of a hot tub periodically? I was under the impression it was the same as pool water, it gets cleaned and maintained, same water unless something serious spills.
Doers Chlorine shock turn hair purple?
I did what you told me and my hair turned purple as well - help!
LMFAO
anything but chlorine or bromine please
Omg my water tester has 7 things on it, of which I have both bromine and chlorine, so I thought that meant I had to use both. And I can never balance the ph and alkalinity! Just before I saw this I threw bromine in, Ph increaser and alkaline increaser, I changed my water last weekend, (4 days ago) and can’t get the ph and alkaline to get even close on the tab. Ready to just dump the entire bottle in!
Do you think using bromine tabs in a distributer is much better than adding spoons of bromine powder. Thank you very much.
Great video. What is the thing floating in the tub? Thank you
Good to see you back …
so you still need to add CL? You were looking at the cl test strip....
Jeff quick question. I use chlorine granules I usually put some in in the morning and evening as whenever I test it after 12 hours it’s all gone. Is this normal? I put half a tablespoon in twice a day.
400 gallon master spa mpl 8.2 foot
I prefer the NON chemical kiddy pool maintenance kits, they're super easy to use in the spas and cheap to buy... Change the water in my spa 1-2 times pr month.
OK I took your advice, bromine tablets in screw on device. Finally got my test kit, even tho I tossed a cap full of bromine the test strips say there's no chlorine (brominr)
It still reads I have no bromine?????
And it looks cloudy. I'm the only person using it nightly. Only product I bought extra was the de- foaming which works great.
Urine can also affect ph levels.
You should talk about cleaning and changing your filters. That's been a big problem for me.
You don’t clean your filters on a weekly basis?
Great video. What about slightly green water? I know it cant be algae, its only been about 6 days. But the greenish hue appears to come back everytime i refill. Do you think a chemical reaction is happening?
Might be some slight copper…also the reflection of the sky on a white shell hot tub
Are you filling your hot tub from well water?
@@brianbutler2531 I am and mine is slightly blue
You might have heavy metals in your well water. I fill from a well as well, I have to use and RV filter I attach to my hose. Then add Metal Gon. I wait 12-24 hours prior to adjusting levels, once the levels are adjusted I shock then add bromine floater to hot tub. If it becomes cloudy with a slight brown or green color I add 1//2 a bottle of metal gone and heavy dose of shock. That usually will keep my tub clear. Also I will clean the filter daily until clear. Hope this helps!
@@brianbutler2531 No i use city water. The metal gon seemed to really help though. now i just have a chlorine smell thats hard to wash off the body, but levels are good.
Can you alternate bromine and chlorine?
He said no in the video
I use chlorine tabs and chlorine shock and never never never had a problem
chlorine tabs can be bad news for the flexible pvc pipes. tri-chlor is a no no.
Is it necessary to shock weekly? I definitely haven’t been doing that 😅
Really depends on usage. Heavy usage I’ll shock it once a week however I typically only shock it one sometimes twice a month
I use clorox all in one 2 week. Never had a problem. Never messed with none of that, change the water 3-4 times a year. 180 gallon spa
Chlorine shock with Bromine? I’ve never heard that. Have always heard to do NON CHLORINE shock
Your hair is Magenta. Bromine effect?
nice hair bud, Boy George called, wants his style back
I've been told always Alkanity 1st
You just said bromine then you test for chlorine. What u mean not confusing??
buy a spa with 24/7 circulation and keep the ozonator replaced as instructed and you will have half the battle won.
You did not say what to do if ph is to high or to low 💁
uh, purple hair? please explain. ty
I am constantly fighting low total alkalinity. Help!
i adjust my ph and then adjust alky. use this product - SpaGuard Balancer Total Alkalinity Increaser For Spas & Hot Tubs

I’m getting ready to get a hot tub and people tell me I will need to plan on changing the water about four times a year. Why do I have to change the water that often
Benause some of the bacteria become resistent after some time
Also your TDS will rise to the point it becomes an issue, hence the reason for a water change.

@@HotTubOwnerHQ
Yes every 3 month
Why is your hair purple?
What’s with the purple hair
Video on hot tub clarity, having a hard time to keep it clear
Kinda like this Video .
Wow so just a sanitizer and shocker
whatever he uses its making his hair purple. LOL
Oh no you left a floater in the hot tub
Great vid dude but the hair 😳
Dont let anyone in your hot tub that hasnt showered beforehand and keep extra swimsuits that dont have detergent in them. This will fix most water problems.
Thanks YT for recommending me something I will never be able to afford and wouldn't buy even if I could. 😂
I guess a lot of rich people out there needed this video though lol.
We make under 70k a year combined income. We have a hot tub. If you save for something you can get there. You don’t have to be rich. 😂
@@user-xm3wd8tz6d A hot tub isn't something I see worth buying. It's a luxury item. Power to you if you think it was worth buying.
I only paid $500 for a 4 or 5 year old hot tub, and I support a family of 5 on roughly 40k a year. No need to be rich, just have to keep an eye open for deals.
think the chemicals screwed your hair up
Is Jeff's hair really purple now or is my eyes playing tricks on me.
Must have mixed chlorine and bromine
Not sure I can trust this advice as your hair has turned colour! lol
little hard to take you serious with the purple hair
Dude! Your hair is purple. Add more chlorine to your hot tub to remove the purple from your hair.
Even koolaid haird people got to you
are you the same guy? why da fk is your hair purple?! jfc
how about some project farm effort...wtf man
Yes easy to look after. Throw the Fkn thing out.
Test strips… that’s where you lost me….
Lol, cruel
