Thank you for the extra encouragement - I have one question so far - what are you shocking your hot tub with?

Cheers,

I have not shocked my tub since I got it set up this way... properly maintained it does not need it.

People over think so much, and the store will egg you on because they need the sales!

Tell me about the white particles....Are they there all the time? Do they look like tiny bits of white plastic? what year was your hot tub built?

Ok I thought I was missing something lol. So just so I understand this, once I have the CYA to ~30, I'm just checking for FC. I usually check my hot tub daily anyways so in addition to checking for FC, do I always need to monitor TA and PH too? I'm assuming I do but this is all new for me so hopefully its not too redundant of a question.

Thanks so much @AO!

A.O.:
So daily or maybe every other day I check for FC and PH, dont want them to get very far out of whack.. And maybe weekly or something I do a full check, Which for me is the FC, PH, TA, sometimes CYA (it takes so much reagents to do) . I dont normally check hardness because mine is so low its kind of off the scale, My well water is very soft to begin with and a lot of times I'll empty my dehumidifier in the tub to top it off.. I've had NO detrimental effects with the soft water.
At first I was chasing the PH quite a bit it was getting pretty high every day, but eventually (I dont remember for sure maybe a week or two) it balanced out And has been a breeze ever since!!

We are normally in the tub twice a day so we use it a lot. Get a good test kit and learn how to use it, it helps.  AND HAVE FUN WITH IT...
