Use of chlorine tablets in floater in J-335

(1/1)

StaffordUK:
Had problems for the last 12 months in keeping water clear. Recently was away for 4 weeks and left the tub so cloudy that I would not use it but had the house sitter add the chlorine tablets to the floater and left.

On my return the water was crystal clear. However I then read that you could not use a chlorine tablet in a Jacuzzi that had TRICHLOROISOCYANURIC ACID in its compound. Stating that it could damage the linings and pumps

I then drained the tub and cleaned etc and refilled. Got the alkaline and PH balanced and back to chlorine granules. Now 3 weeks later I can see the water starting to go cloudy. The non chlorine shock has been added weekly and PH Alkaline correct and checked daily.

Can anybody please advise if what I read is true and I cannot use the tablets that changed a milky Hottub to crystal clear if that unfortunately is true any suggestions what is causing the problem.

You mentioned you added chlorine granules after filling/balancing it but made no mention of its use thereafter and only mentioned shocking and balancing. What is your daily/weekly routine relative to your sanitizer (chlorine)?

StaffordUK:
Chlorine is added daily a.m. If I check levels PH ALKALINE AND CHLORINE after 4 hours all is correct after 12 hours it usually shows Chlorine low.
