      Thanks, Munesh. That's what I aim for. I want my videos to be 'accessible' to all, so I try to call things by their proper name, but at the same time keep 'jargonese' down to a minimum. It especially helps those for whom English is a second or even third language (Hispanics in Central America or the US for example who speak Spanish or Portuguese first).

      If you've filled it with warm water to start with (ua-cam.com/video/nZew9F8dv6s/v-deo.html) then you've already made the really 'big' saving. Heating water with gas is about 30% cheaper than using electricity (in the UK). After that it's about cutting the 'losses'

      @thenumber5bus Рік тому

      chlorine levels drop over time so if its on the high side then you will suffer skin complaints if you use it so if its low just add a shock treatment to the water and wait 24hrs and test. we dont bother testing anymore as we have a routine and every other day we use the spa so just pop a shock treatment in after use and then go back to it 2 days later and the levels are ok.water quality may differ for different areas so you need to find what works for you and frequency of your useage

    I live in a hard water area and after filling my Miami hot tub the pH and total alkalinity were off the chart. I had the chemical starter kit and instructions said to add 1.5 teaspoons of pH minus daily until levels were correct. I added 1.5 teaspoons and nothing happened, later added another 1.5, still no change. I found a guide and calculator online that said I need around 100g (14 teaspoons) to fix the levels. I added this large quantity and bingo! Everything was in the right spot. If I had followed the instructions in the kit it would have taken 10 days to get it right.
    If you live in an area with chalky hard water and be aware that you may need to add a lot of pH minus to bring down the alkalinity.

      Glad I could help. Well done to you. I might try to put this in front of Bestway soon, see if it initiates any changes.
