Calcium for metal

[RavenNS]

ChemGeek, thanks for the leason... most facinating!
( how come i can totally get all this stuff that you post & I can't figure the darn test kits?...lol)

As for Spa / Hot Tubs
yes, you bet calcium is added... usually the companys bottle it up under a "different name" ( & charge at least 4 times as much for it )
Beachcomber ( one of the tub brands that we have) have been selling us " Protect"... there is no content label on this stuff. I only found out that it was calcium this year, which means that I have been paying $13 a tiny bottle for quite some time for calcium

The BBB method works just fine for hot tubs, just substitude bromine for Bleach...lol

Oh & BTW, I find maintaining hot tubs is actually easier than pools... ( I dunno why)...lol

Actually, I want to go off-topic here, so let me create a new thread for this. Please meet me at this linked thread.
