Post subject: Pinkish gum like ring after adding sanitizer
Hello,
You folks are so very helpful. I don't understand what this
stuff is. Every time I add sanitizer to the tub it seems like
there is a pinkish gummy substance that appears around the tub.
When I scoop it out, it feels sticky. Any ideas what this
could be? I do use Baquacil chlorine free products. |

sounds like it is pink algae. Have you been shocking the
spa? If not, you will want to over shock the spa to kill the
algae, then use an algaecide for spas. You can get both from our
website or if you are local you can come in and pick it up. You
will also want to remove your spa cover and clean the underside
of it with a 50-50 mix of bleach and water. Spray the underside
of the cover then use a medium bristle scrub brush to lean it,
then rinse it off. The underside of you spa cover should be
cleaned at least twice a year. |
