Title: total suprise
Post by: wedag on March 02, 2008, 07:43:25 am

I have been in the hospital and away from my tub for about 2 months.
The other day I was able to open the cover and expected it to look very nasty.
I was suprised to find this.

 P.S. I hope the pictures came out.

Wow!!  You are so lucky!  How can that be possible...very clear looking water!  I would be interested to know how long your first normal addition of dichlor, or whatever you use, hangs around as FC???  That would indicate if you are still brewing some 'nasties' or if the water is remarkable free of bacteria after that long closure without any maintenance!  Do you have ozone and N-2?  How old is the water?  Usage in that water before your hospital stay?  

Sure hope you are feeling better!!  And that you can enjoy your tub...if you had surgery, I know that means a long time without a dip.

Being a Hot Spring, Corona Discharge ozone is standard.  I am curious about pH, as Acid Water can be crystal clear.  Remember acid rain?

Could it have been that elusive Ozone Fairy that took care of your tub while you were away?

Nice setup, btw.  Is that a Sequoia hot tub gazebo?  Looks great!

All numbers are good.
I do have N-2
The water was changed in november, and it is used about 4 to 5 times a week for about 1 hour each time.
I use dichlor.
I'm not sure on the gazebo. It was given to me from my daughters friend and I power washed it and color stained it 2 tone inside and outside.
