So my neighbor moved and his tub (sweetwater, n2,ozone) set running for 6 weeks with no one attending to it. The new neighbor moved in and wanted help changing the water as he was concerned that the thirty-something owners probably had a lot of sex in the tub.........
I was invited to a BBQ a couple of years ago. The invit said "suits are not allowed in the hot tub". Around 10 pm the hardbodies started doing belly shots off each other and then someone said lets open the hot tub. I had 2 choices...stay married and go home or get naked with 30 year old hardbodies. This year will be 30 years of marrige so I guess you know which one I picked.........
Anyway, as I was showing him how to change the water I was suprised it was crystal clear but the filter was covered with green algee. So my question is why is the water so clear and the filter so green? My wife wouldn't by the idea that sex in the tub saves chemicals

Why does everyone want to have sex in hot tubs?!?! One night my brother-n-law, his girlfriend, my wife and I were having a few drinks laying back in the hot tub relaxing, it was really late and my wife and I decided to get out. My brother-n-law gave me a smirk and said that he and his girlfriend were going to stay in the tub. I told him he had about 45 seconds to get out because I was shoking the water and he and his girlfriend got really Pisssed off.
I mean really... Next time I go to his house I am going to tell him that I need to borrow his childs bedroom so my wife and I can take care of business.....
Am I being too uptight or does everyone feel the same about people getting it on in your tub.

No one should have sex in your Hot tub!! EXCEPT YOU of Course!!!! ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

i wouldn't want people having sex in my tub, but i suppose it could happen.
people view sex in a hot tub as something erotic, so visitors that are
not in a hot tub very often may try to "knock off a shot" in your tub.
it's not something you like but don't be surpised if it happens.

I've tried it a few times and don't like it. How can I say this in an apropriate way :-/
Uhhh....the hot water seems to strip away the bodies natural fluids.

My goal is sex in a hot tub on a plane so I can jon the mile-high-wet-test club.

can't find a comfortable position! >:(

oh and by the way....
the lure of sex in the hot tub is all the more reason for
my personal preference to not sit in public hot tubs at hotels, ect...
Germ warfare: RWIs (recreational water illness) in public hot tubs
have created bad publicity.
Here's how the service industry can fight back.
Three years ago, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention
in Atlanta undertook a series of regulatory compliance inspections
of U.S. public hot tubs. It ended up uncovering some disturbing data.
Inspectors found at least one problem with water chemistry, filtration
or basic spa management on more than half of its 5,209 visits to facilities
in five states, according to the report. The inspectors also discovered
that nearly 57 percent of public spas were in violation of local
ordinances, and 11 percent were required to close immediately.
"[Eleven percent] is a high number," says Michael J. Beach, Ph.D., chief
of the CDC's water and environment section/parasitic diseases. "This is
a potential hazard and it's an unacceptable level of operation."
The media immediately picked up the CDC report. Soon newspapers
and television were filled with dire warnings that public hot tubs were
breeding grounds for pathogens. Stories of recreational water illness
outbreaks seemed to crop up everywhere.
In response, the Association of Pool & Spa Professionals issued several
"information bulletins" aimed at informing the public of the true nature
of RWIs and hot tubs. In a bulletin on "hot tub lung," Jack Cergol,
APSP's chief staff executive, called the disease "extremely rare." He noted
that it can be avoided in connection with spas and hot tubs with proper
maintenance and water treatment.
Outbreaks hurt everyone, and the industry pays a hefty price. When
troubles occur in public spas, it can make consumers wary of all spas
and thus less likely to purchase one in the future. Spa service technicians
need to fight back with a consistent and comprehensive protocol when
treating public hot tubs. But first, an understanding of the bigger picture
is necessary.
This is not a pool.
Hot tubs are entirely different animals than swimming pools. They're
smaller and have more users per gallon of water. The water is also
hot and aerosolized, which makes public hot tubs more susceptible to
certain RWIs.
"It's always been thought that it's more difficult to maintain a hot tub than
a pool," says Tom Lachocki, CEO of the National Swimming Pool Foundation
in Colorado Springs, Colo., and former chairman of APSP's Recreational Water
Quality Committee. "Now it's important to realize that there is scientific data
to prove that it's actually true. There were a greater percentage of violations
on [public] hot tubs [than there were on public pools]. This problem is real--
absolutely real."
Due to the vessel's smaller size, maintaining proper pH and sanitizer levels
can be an arduous job. Vigilance on an hourly basis often is required because
all those variables (chlorine, pH, TDS) are affected by usage levels. "Hot tub
bather loads can vary wildly," says Bob Blade, owner of Aloha Pool & Spa,
a Pacific Grove, Calif.-based service company. "They're hard to predict."
But it wouldn't be practical for a service tech to spend all day with just one
of his or her accounts to track water chemistry levels and bather loads. Even
on a good week, the most that can be done is to pay two or three visits to
the spa.

Stop bringing factual information to a sex-in-the-hottub thread, you're killing the mood. ;D

Have to agree with you. But the tub is great for creating the mood......

My goal is sex in a hot tub on a plane so I can jon the mile-high-wet-test club.
Mile high club member here! However, it was in the cockpit and not the nasty bathroom!!!!
As a flight attendent I have caught people in the bathrooms getting it on several times.
Once, during some serious turbulence (I was holding on and being tossed around)
I unlocked the bathroom door, (after telling them several times) to tell them to go to their seats and buckle up. It was so funny because they were being tossed around so much by the turbulence they couldn't put their pants back on!!!! ;D

Okay, so I have to ask...
WHO WAS FLYING THE PLANE????

If you say, 'co-pilot' I seriously doubt they had their eyes 'on the road'. :o
-
So back to the real question....why was the water crystal clear and the filter full of green algae
-
To hell with with the real question, who WAS flying the plane?
-
I agree with LtDan. To hell with the algea question, there are people in the world starving to death and dying at war so lets talk about sex in the tub!!....the filter was doing it's job already...ok... ;D And I also agree with the washing away of bodily fluids comment.
-
So back to the real question....why was the water crystal clear and the filter full of green algae
Wild guess, but since the tub wasn't used for a while, Maybe water pooled on top of the filter lid. stagnent water = algie growth? The water in the tub has 03, circ pump and N2 and that remained clear but puddles of stagnant water along the lip, cup holder indents, and such would grow alegie?
Tell your friend to clean the lid (both sides) wipe down the underside of the cover, and since it's a used hot tub and he's concerned about cooties, I'd recomend a drain, swirl away, flush, refill, new filters. Wipe down everything, behind the pillows, inside the filter well etc.
You were smart to get out of the 30 hardbody party. ;)
-
I have two questions!
1. If there are 30 something hard bodies does that make me a 40 something soft body? :-X
2. Who was flying the plane? ;D
And one statement!
I agree with the washing away of body fluids statement plus the can't find a comfortable spot statement.
One more question;
Since there is an obvious desire to have sex in the hot tub, why haven't the manufacturers addressed this and designed a "sex spa"! With super duper schluper scooper filtration and triple DAIT "Daily Anointment In Tub" lubrication injectors! Someone call the Deceptionist!

Tell her to keep her head above the water.

I'm going to guess that the last time they rinsed the filter they just let it sit damp until it dried and it dried like that, and they put it in anyway.

Ok... if you can't find a comfortable position or are having friction issues... you aren't doing it right. :) Actually I wonder if people who can't get comfortable don't have loungers? The knee portion of the lounger works rather well (at least in an Envoy).... so does the corner seat and the bench seat accross from the lounger.
I would never have sex in someone else's hot tub... but my own is my own and I do what I want in there. As I've mentioned before, my only concern is the bodily fluids that are created, but as long as that is taken care of in appropriate measures as to not contaminate the tub, its all good, better than good, actually.
-
i agree... we know those body fluids aren't water soluble.... i think i would've stayed at the party and at least had a couple drinks and ogled for a bit... my wife says no harm in lookin....

Here, Here, CHEERS to Brook. This is absolutely the way it is in our house. I would add the people that disagree aren't trying HARD or LONG enough :o. pun intended. ;D

AUTOPILOT, silly! ;)
*It was a private plane.
Now, back on track........
so why was there green algae on the filters? ::)
-
1) Has N2 ever been proven to kill algae? If not, there's one culprit.
2) Does ozone kill algae? I know it breaks down many organic compounds, but in enough concentration to kill algae? And, if ozone does kill algae - how old is the tub? If it had an older ozonator that needed a new bulb, or a CD ozonator that was malfunctioning, then ozone wouln't kill anything.
3) Either way, chlorine would do it, but w/ no chemicals for months, algae could build up.
4) I had algae growing behind my spa pillows. If a growth like that got close enough to the water, it could migrate to the filter.
So, if nothing is killing the algae, the rest of the story makes sense. First of all, a filter would make a great surface for algae to grow on. Secondly, since the tub is still running, the pumps are pulling nutrient-rich water past the algae, which they love.
As to the clarity- water can be very dirty and still be clear. Water can be cloudy without anything being alive, and you can have stuff living in a tub that has clear water. For example, look at a dirty aquarium - lots of algae growing on the walls, but the water itself is clear- and the algae certainly isn't hurting the fish.
