If you have cloudy, dirty, foamy, oily, stinky hot tub water, you can run to the hot tub store, and purchase five different products to fix five different problems.
Then, you can spend several days, testing and dosing with different products, until maybe you finally, sort of, fix most of the problems...
Or maybe... after a week or two of almost daily frustration, you finally just throw in the towel and start over with a fresh batch of water...
How about next time, we just start over with a fresh batch of water and skip that whole waste-of-time and waste-of-money add-more-chemials ritual?
A fresh batch of water is the only 'product' you can add to your hot tub that can fix all your problems at the same time without adding more chemicals and making things worse.
Refilling your hot tub with a clean, clear, fresh batch of water is the only way to dump all your problems straight down the drain at the same time and fix everything with just one dose!
But what about your water bill?
Would you be surprised to learn a 500 gallon batch of fresh hot tub water costs less than a single pint or a single pound of any product you can buy to 'fix' the water?
That whole batch of cloudy, dirty, dull, foamy, frustrating water costs less than the whole bottle of test strips you burned through trying to fix it.
If you live on the Olympic Peninsula and your water comes from a private well, draining and refilling your hot tub is essentially free.
Even if you pay by the gallon for 'city water' most hot tub owners can still drain an entire 500 gallon hot tub and refill it with a fresh batch of water for LESS THAN $5.00.
Even if you live on Bainbridge with the highest municipal water and sewer rates this side of Seattle, you still only pay $7.65 to $9.81 to drain and refill a typical hot tub.
When in doubt; Drain it out!
When was the last time you bought hot tub chemicals to 'fix' the water and spent less than $80.00 on products and less than three or four days fussing with it?
When was the last time you tried to fix cloudy, dirty, foamy, oily, stinky hot tub water and got it done on the first try on the first day in the first few hours?
Don't waste time or money trying to fix and 'save' a $5.00 batch of cloudy, dirty, foamy, oily, old, stinky hot tub water.
Dump all your problems down the drain and start over with a clean, clear, fresh batch of water.
