It's been ok for the first week, but now is very cloudy and somewhat smelly. We think we've been going wrong in not adding some non-chlorine shock after use, and possibly not having enough bromine in it anyway (it uses an in-line Frog cartidge-thingy-type-wotsit). Any experts in the house??
WCA is the sex-soup connoisseur round these parts isnt he?
not having enough bromine in it
Not enough Bromide, maybe? 🙂
More Cocoon than sex soup... 😉
sex-soup
Available from brothels?
ewww gross.
might your duck house have sprung a leak ?
You need a beaker on the side of the tub.
😆
You won't die, but you might get pregnant.

lol: just choked on my coffee
Extra cream?
Talk about first world problems 😆
and also ew.
Drain the tub through a fine mesh stocking.
Boil for 1 hour.
Add carrots, onions, turnip and lamb and reduce to a simmer.
I would just like to say there have been no bodily fluids spilt in my hot tub, it is just for sitting back and relaxing in 😀
Foxes and Badgers probably shag in it nightly. Just saying...
They're damn clever if they can unfasten and lift the cover 🙂

"relaxing"
Yes, you will die - slowly and painfully.
Your body will become covered by boils and pustules which will leak.
Check with undertaker about plague pits.
Pustules is a great word!

and yet it is cloudy....
The evidence doth contradict the Lady's protestations...

Do you owe in your hot tub?
not having enough bromine
I had to dispose of 500g of bromine once where there were no hazardous waste companies available, and even if there were it had been smuggledd into the country by Chinese man called Frank in the boot of his car so we couldn't have used them.
You duuuurty boy!!!!!
On a more helpful note....
We are on chlorine with ours rather than bromine, but it's probably fairly similar in practice.
The key is to only go in "clean" i.e. no muddy knees, no make up, no body lotion (it's not going well so far is it!) don't wash your cozzies as they will hold a bit of the soap, no sun cream etc.
They will all make yer sex pool cloudy.
You can get clarifier treatment for it (the tub that is!), and anti foam stuff too. On our old tub (had it 8 years) we never needed any of that as we always went in clean. If you have kids that go in it they can make it murkier as they are generally oiky, and teanagers with hair gel and make up and all that stuff.
Never used chlorine shock either.
Just me and the missis tho, so no filth of ANY kind 🙁
New tub been in for a month and it's crystal clear and used daily. We got some shock sachets with the chemical pack, and I've used one, but don't think I'll buy any myself.
So you might get away with clarifier, and making sure the chemistry is right. Or you might need a drain and refill and only go in clean.
Possibly detergent from people's hair and bathing suits.
Clean filter and refill.
We mainly get issues with people who dont shower before use and then it foams.
Bromine and sex tub user here. Mine is spotless. You can recover cloudy water. I'd suggest you got out and forgot to treat? 1st rule of tubs, always treat after use. I shock mine once a fortnight or after a particularly heavy petting session. I use an oxidizing clarifier. Genuinely though you do need to look after it. You got test strips?
You got test strips?
See! They even come with pregnancy tests.

Eww you need to invite nicer people to your sex parties
In a previous life I did Legionella risk assesements part of which involved taking and analysing water samples from hot tubs and Spa's.
Not set foot in one since. In fact I wouldnt go withing 10 yards of one now.
That reminds me, my dad used to test the water quality in the local swimming pool. He claimed it was most polluted after the girls from the grammar school had been in 😯

You have to go to serious lengths of poor chemical management to get to those scenarios.
Our shower at work was closed for 6 months after it failed a Legionella test!
[i] it failed a Legionella test! [/i]
what have the Romans every done for us?
Many, many moons ago I worked with a guy who had a summer job trialling various new sex pond chemicals for ICI. One of the properties in the trial belonged to a, now disgraced, TV personality. The twice weekly visits to test his sex pond could be a bit of any eye opener as it was occasionally frothing with naughty ladies doing naughty things. In fact he was once asked if he fancied joining in!
News of the TV personality in question’s fall from grace wasn’t much of a surprise as I was told back in 1985 that he was a “Dirty Bastard”.
Back to the OP... It is probably some sperms. Get a sieve.

You don't tend to run bromine through the works hw system though do you?
In answer to your question, probably not but you will break your rule about bodily fluids!

I definitely got out and didn't treat it - didn't realise we had to until it went cloudy! Lady at hot tub shop has now told us to use a little bit of non-chlorine shock after we get out, so will do in future! The man at the hot tub shop today told us to make sure the ph is 7.2, no higher cos apparently Lincolnshire is water is full of, err, something or other, can't remember what he said. So, ph reducer has gone in, left a while, checked and another dose gone in. Will see how it is in a while.
Thanks for all the suggestions, but we don't need the beaker by the hot tub 🙂 The only beakers we have near it are full of either cider or beer 🙂
Must go now, cloudy or not, I'm going for a dip...
Anyone else not feeling at all tempted by hot tubs?

If it's hard/alkaline water then it could be simply be the cleaning chemicals turning it cloudy. Phosphoric acid cleaner used in brewing does anyway.

Actually, you do, the water company adds chloroamine (other chlorine based sanitisers are available).
The problem comes when people design systems with air gaps in tanks/cisterns to prevent backflow and meet peak demands, which is all well and good, but means you lose most of the protection. Depending on the size of the plant/site/building the waters sometimes treated with more chlorine as it leaves the cistern to make up for what's lost.
eww, gross.
