‘Hot Tub’
Why can’t I get my hot tub water clean?
Monday, February 16th, 2009Hot Water System FAQ:
I bought a 2yr old Thermo Spa. The people were using the Soft Soak system and that’s what I’ve been using in it too. But it’s so nasty! There’s brown gunk and slimy pieces of what look like skin floating all through it. The filter is brand new and the water got gross only two or three days after I filled it. What is all the gunk? And what’s the best way to treat/clear it up? The people that test my water at the spa place keep telling me to PH down it and shock it. I keep doing this but it’s not working.

what kind of cheap thermostat could I use to control a passive solar water heater for my hot tub?

I want to build a batch heater or a passive coil system on a painted black corrugated metal backing. But I want to be able to stop the flow when the water gets to a set temp. It would be great to be able to just put in a car radiator thermostat but it would allow the water to get too hot.
