Ever since I cleaned the lines of my circ pump and ozonator and mounted my Hartford loop above the waterline, I've noticed a stronger presence of ozone gas and ALOT more water/bubbles coming out of the port. So with these increases, I figured why not put my N2 and ozone to the test. Well I did. Last Saturday I added a 5 ppm dose of dichlor. I soaked everyday but one from then until today. I didn't add any dichlor all week and my water remained clear as new and had now signs of CC.
My test results this morning were 0ppm for all chlorine levels(atleast to my naked eye) and pH was right where it's been the last month(7.4). :)
Granted I do shower before almost all my soaks but I'm still pretty impressed with these results.
Btw, do not atempt this if you are new to water care maintenance.

A young, single guy soaking alone ... my life isn't so bad after all! ;) ;D
How and where did you clean out your lines? Are you talking about the line from the ozonator to the mazzi injector?
Did you have a Hartford loop already but just too low?
Experimenting with your tub, I'm starting to rub off on you ain't I!! 8-)

;D Yeah it's been lonely around here lately. :-[
I disconnected the lines you mentioned above and soaked them in vinegar water and used a pipe cleaner. The Hartford Loop was already there but was well below the waterline. Tony gave me some great advice and really made everything a breeze. It flows better now than it ever has.
Yep, you're the one that got me where I am today, so it's only right to keep following in your foot steps. :)

Now quit showering before use,see if it changes. I never shower before use unless I have been out doing yard type stuff which on 6 acres can be alot.

The heck with that - start having s*x in the tub and see if it changes. Remember he's young and single! ;D

I'm sure six people in the tub would make quite a difference.

You're correct, between not showering and having six people in the tub his chemistry wouldn't be so good.
Then again if he didn't shower would you get 5 more people in the tub with him?

;D ;D
With all the thinset, grout, mastic, and sawdust that always find a way to stick on me at work, I have to take a shower before soaking. Those things can't be good for the plumbing, heater, pumps, etc....
The only people in my tub since I've had it(10 months) have been female. Wow, I just realized that. I guess soaking in hot water in a bathing suit at night with a guy friend never really crosses my mind. Sadly though, I've only had 6 different females in my tub. I had 4 in there with me over the winter but nothing to exciting since. It's usually just me and my gal on the weekends and just me during the week. She's down in FL visiting her parents right now, so I might call those 4 "lady friends" tonight........ ;D

You got that right. I'm waitin for the sun to set a little, so I can finally cut my grass. Last I checked the heat index was still over 100. :'(
What part of the STL are you from?
-
...and it is supposed to get worse everyday this week.
Chesterfield. Where are you?
-
Across the Daniel Boone in St. Charles.
-
Is Heather your dealer?
-
Yes. How'd you know? Is she your dealer too? We sound like crack addicts. ;D
-
;D ;D ;D LOL
Yeah, she is my dealer too.

Heather is the younger girl that works at their Chesterfield location right? Maybe late 20s. If so she's just a sales person who started with them about a year ago. I remember b/c it was right around when I bought my tub. That's probably why she gave you such bad chemical advice. I delt mainly with Matt at their Cave Springs location. He's a veteran in the pool and spa biz. Before he became a salesman he worked on/installed pool and spas for 10 years. He was one of the only salesman I came across at the 8 different dealers I visited in the STL that didn't seem like a crooked sleezeball. Heather however, wrote up the paperwork when I closed the deal but Matt still got the commision.
I'm not sure if you know or not but they now have 4 locations in the STL and they've been in biz for over 50 years(They use to be just a plumbing supply company before hot tubs were even around. They still sold Jacuzzi but it was just jetted bathtubs back then.) I think it's safe to say that they're not going any where for a while. :)

Thanks for the info!! Yeah, Heather is actually the manager now of 3 locations...the one that you used, the one in the Valley here in Chesterfield and one in Clayton. I think she works out of the Valley. She told us she started last December and knew nothing about spas, LOL, and that tells you a lot!! She is a quick learner, I think, but also a really good BSer, LOL. And she is always stressed...very, very tightly wound and will talk your ear off. I think a lot of the problems they have are because of disorganization. But I am with you that I felt like I wasn't being conned when I spoke with the people in the valley. We had an even newer saleswoman help us originally and she was very nice, but once again not very knowledgable...but she would get the answers for us.
Now if it would just cool off a bit :P
