Fiberglass Hot Tub Problem - Gritty!!

19 years ago

So, I changed the water in my hot tub about a month ago. I chlorinated, balanced..etc...life was good.

I check the chemistry today....my Free chlorine was at 5ppm+ TA was 400, and pH was over 8. No biggie, I added acid...retested...added acid, retested...

We're down to 2ppm chlorine, TA at 80, pH still high at 8. However, the normally smooth surface is now very gritty. The grit is the problem. Ack! It does appear that I can scrub it off....but I'd rather not scrub the entire hot tub with a brillo pad.

Help? Any ideas would be very appreciated.
