What makes my hot tub water turn green?

Answer 1

Seems you don't dry your tub after cleaning OR you do not clean ur hot bath tub! Well try scrubbing the tub real properly and either put some hydrogen per oxide or chlorine solution. rinse it after say one hour with water! check ur source of water specially if it is a TANK!

Answer 2

someone pissed in it mate

Answer 3

you need chlorine tablets, they keep the water clean and free from getting mouldy, needs to be cleaned out regularly.

answer mine ,, thanks x

Answer 4

Thats algae,,,and now you have it in the whole system.

Suggest you drain the tub and refill it. Then shock the tub with a heavy dose of  Bromine ( not chlorine) and run it a while then drain it again.

Now refill it and just put the proper amount of Bromine.Now U can safely use the tub.



Chlorine does not work well in a hot tub because the heat dissapates it much too fast.

Answer 5

Alvarz got it right except he forgot that you need to completely replace your filter pack.
