Title: Rookie mistake
Post by: Budule on August 30, 2014, 09:47:58 am
ok , feeling a little stupid here , anyway 10 day old spa , Leisure time chemicals (chlorine)....all three used the tub last nite and as per instructions when we got out I put in the "Spa 56 " ....it was a little low before so I may have put in a "little extra".....checked it this morning and it was "very low" .....huh? .....well , ill fix it.....more is better right ?.......problem was I had just got new test strips and they were different from the old ones......first pad was BROMINE , and that's what was "very low".....now my chlorine is off the charts......will that come down by itself (run jets and air? ) or do I dump it......water is cheap here in West Virginia......

I'm fairly new also but maybe you should read your level and figure out how much water to dump out?  Like if it's a third high dump out 1/3 of the water?  That is what I would try but for all I know you should dump the batch.
