    Default how to use BBB method on hot tubs

    To the gentlemen who asked the question about this method - for some reason I couldn't reply to that thread

    after you fill up your hot tub

    1. get the ph and TA correct as follows:

    DO this (use a test strip)

    if TA and PH are both high, --- pour in some Muriatic Acid
    if TA is high and PH is low, --- put in some BORAX (then Muriatic Acid to adjust both down)
    if TA and PH are both low, --- put Soda Ash in
    if TA is low and PH is high, --- put in BAKING SODA (then Muriatic Acid to adjust both down)

    2. then add BLEACH - Clorox (use a test strip)

    3 After every use add some Clorox

    4 - just keep your eye on the water whenever you get a chance. check the ph, TA, and chlorine levels once or twice a week.

    that is all you have to do. don't make it more complicated than it needs to be.
