I think they may have been one of my problems, we never left the water valve trickling.  You can bet the house that it's trickling now and will be from now on, lol.  I wouldn't wish paper mold on my worst enemy.

hey all new member here but just couldn't help joining the ahh-some party here.  I've slain the biofilm monster with this stuff, and even tested a number of other products as well.  ahh-some is the only one that is for real. 

I also agree with the multiple purges thing.  people have a tendency to expect that one purge will work miracles, but if the spa is significantly contaminated -- and biofilms do regenerate quickly and with vengence -- you will need several purges.  I've said this before but the spa is not clean until you are running an ahh-some treated spa WITH FILTERS INSTALLED, and you see no material release.  you have to purge first without the filters installed -- per label directions --  clean the filters outside the tub with a solution of ahh-some plus your favorite de-greaser.  then when you have a squeaky clean spa dosed with ahh-some, put your cleaned filters back where they belong.  In my case, I got a little more material released, which I was able to wipe up with a micro fiber cloth while the jets were running.  drain the spa and rinse everything,, including the filters, as you would normally do.
