Have you changed the brand of <a href="http://www.hottubworks.com/HotTubChemicals/">spa chemicals</a> that you are currently using? I would recommend to use a quality spa chemical. You can find cheaper chemicals out there but a lot of times these will contain fillers and leave by products behind. A quality chemical may cost more but in the long run you use less because they aren't filled with fillers. </p> http://www.hottubworks.com/spa-repair-forum/topic/small-finessand-in-water#post-304 Tue, 20 Oct 2009 09:23:25 +0000 Anonymous 304@http://www.hottubworks.com/spa-repair-forum/ <p>I have a similar problem with my HotSpring spa - small, fine white-beige sand crystals. I change the water and it appears to work for a while and then they start to "grow" all over the inside of the spa. I use Spa Down because of extremely hard water, use a calcium and iron filter when I fill the spa.</p> <p>I'm pretty sure it is probably the water, chemicals, or some cross reactivity but any suggestions on how to make it stop? I live in a cold climate so changing the water in the middle of winter isn't an option. </p> http://www.hottubworks.com/spa-repair-forum/topic/small-finessand-in-water#post-88 Wed, 20 May 2009 14:14:14 +0000 Mary 88@http://www.hottubworks.com/spa-repair-forum/ <p>Couple things we need to verify. Do the black particles smear like grease? Do the white particles feel like rubber? Have you changed the brand of chemicals recently? </p> http://www.hottubworks.com/spa-repair-forum/topic/small-finessand-in-water#post-80 Sat, 09 May 2009 08:43:27 +0000 cajuncaesar 80@http://www.hottubworks.com/spa-repair-forum/ <p>I have a 1991 Sundance Marin. It has been maintained quite well over the years and is still working! However, I am now getting small white and black 'fines/sand' in the water. I've drained &#38; cleaned it numerous times in a row. Nothing works, it keeps coming back. I throughly clean and replace the filter and after each filling,I checked for anything in the water from the faucet, 'nothing'.<br /> COULD SOME OF THE INTERNAL LINES BE BREAKING DOWN? If it is all PVC I can't imagine that happening. Is there a product I can use that will clean the lines for me?<br /> Thank You! </p>
