Finally someone who explains things properly. Good work!

We just brought our first hot tub and i won't set it up until i know exactly what to do with the chemicals. After finding your videos, i now feel confident enough to do this, so thank you for taking the time to break each step down and explain it in a simplified way. The best videos i have found so far.

you make it look so easy not like some videos thanks Adam

Found this really helpful, thanks so much 😊

Thank you so much. All this takes a bit to get your head around. You are the best video I've seen, as you have taken the time to explain every part clearly and with detail. Much appreciated. X

Once again, very clear, accurate and useful video Adam, thanks 👍

Big up the ‘Muff! Tub has just gone murky so going to try this. Thank you

Very helpful adam, much appreciated 👏

Great video

Thanks Adam. Very clear and concise.

love the videos been here since you first got a lazy spa one

Good video!

Excellent description, I used my hot tub straight away as soon as I set it up without the shock. Now I am going to start from scratch by shocking my hot tub first. Thank you for very detailed instructions.

Thanks so much for this. Do I need to remove my chlorine tablet before shock dosing my hot tub ?

Thank you Adam for another great video that easily explains everything. I have found your videos and channel very useful and helpful in setting up and using my hot tub. Thank you again

Used your guidance to set up our new Barbados. Thanks so much.

Thank you! How long should I leave the jets on when shocking the hot tub?

Thanks bud 😎

very informative video.thank you. very nicely done

Hi Adam can you please tell me what an error 6 is on the cozy spa panel thanks mark

Hello. Do you know of if there is any air filter inside the unit? Once it sucks air into to water, there should be a filter for the air... and how to clean it? Thanks

I have an outside hot water tap so I fill mine hot when I first use to get in straight away. Can I use it once without chemicals and then shock it?

Hello , my question is when i fist shock the water with Chlorine granules , do i need to put the chlorine tablets into the dispenser or i must put them later i.e after few days ?

Hi Adam. Set my hot tub up for the first time. I used shock on it and left it over night. Shows that the Alk and PH is low. Do I just add PH increaser? My hot tub is small and only holds just over 600L water. Thank you

After 2 1/2 hours mine was at 3 after shock dose 802L 3 and abit tsp would you suggest to add more than a top? or wait 24 hours

Question with the strips each time testing used a new stick

Cannot wait for my Santorini to arrive. Under £700 from Argos a few weeks back. Thanks for the tips 👍😎

so my reading was ok but the 2nd night chlorine has dropped to 0 and ph and alkaline is a lot... how do i adjust?

I added the shock dose and 24 hours later its at 0? Is the levels too high that it's bleached the strip or is it gone? I'm confused

Is it table spoons or or tea spoons? As says tea spoons on the chart you put up

Great video! Is it necessary to close the hot tub after adding the chlorine/bromine, as you mentioned that overchlorination can be reduced by exposing the tub to the sun? I was under the impression that we need to leave the tub cover open after adding chlorine so that the fumes don’t get trapped.

@SailingAquila

I would recommend leaving cover on as UV does ‘burn off’ chlorine. It’s not critical if you’re worried about fumes.

Hi adam got a new spa did all the chemicals and treatments but my lay z spa has gone cloudy after just a few days. Any advice you could give me would be great. 😊

@SailingAquila

Жыл бұрын

Normally it goes cloudy if the chlorine drops. You can then try shocking it to see if it improves. Otherwise, you'll need to drain and start again. Often discoloured water is caused my people going into the tub that haven't showered. Sun cream, deodorant, make up, and fake tan etc can make it go cloudy. Even the oils from the skin, or worse still urine, will have an impact.

Quick question Adam. When shocking should I put the lid back on.

@SailingAquila

Yeah, it's fine to put the lid back on while you wait for it to work.

My waters gone a bit cloudy after couple uses! Can you put granules in the plastic thing rather than tablets? Also how long do you need to leave it bubbling whilst you shock it? Sorry for the questions 😀

@SailingAquila

Has to be tablets in the float. Granules are for adding directly. Bubbles are needed just a for few mins to mix, although best to leave filter/heater on for a couple of hours.

It's always best to add different chemicals separately. Wait at least a couple of hours between adding each one. I'm not too sure on the actual chemistry of how those two might work together, but better to be safe than sorry.

Do you leave the jets on for 24 hours after you’ve added the chlorine? Or just when your adding the chlorine?

Just when adding the chlorine. Leave it running for a few mins to mix.

I’d take the tablets out then shock. If the tablets have been in a while then maybe add slightly less shock than normal. Put the tablets back in again once chlorine levels start to drop.

You can leave it with just the heater or filter running, or even turn it off completely if the temp is above 20 degrees.

Iv decided my hot tub days are over. Enjoyed using it over covid / furlough but now electricity is just too expensive. Iv also gone through 2 liners so I’m not really impressed with my lazy spa vegas. My second liner hasn’t been used and is still in the shipping box. I intend to try and sell my lazy spa. Do you think il get £800 for it lol. Just Like they were doing in may of 2020 when they only cost £450 new Lol.

What's the difference stabilized vs unstabilised granules?

Stabilised granules last longer in water as sunlight doesn’t reduce it as quickly.

Heat to 20 degrees before adding chlorine. Use air or hydro jets to mix for a few mins. Ideally leave filter or heater on for a few hours before testing.

I use bromine. I’d like an explanatory video on this.

After you have added the chlorine mix do you leave the jets on for one cycle then leave the filter on for 24 hours?

Yes, jets for a few mins and filter on overnight ensures it’s mixed well.

If you’ve shocked it and still cloudy after leaving overnight, it’s probably easiest to replace water. Give the tub a good rinse out too. There are algaecides and clarifiers you can buy that might help, but likely easiest to change water.

@@SailingAquila Hi Adam, have liked and subscribed. I was wondering the same all yesterday, after watching all your videos. We picked up a used Maldives for fairly cheap (as a tester to see if we like and can afford to run it) and followed your instruction up to the 20 degrees and chlorine shock. I could find anywhere advice as to whether I need to leave the heater button on all the time....and I mean ALL the time....24/7, regardless of whether I'm heating to 20 or cranking up to the preferred 38 for use. Cheers

Hey, the guy I bought the spa from says it doesn’t need to be shocked as the water has already chlorine in it from the hose. He says you can use it safely for at least a month
