Yesterday, we filled the spa and turned on the heater. I checked the PH balance this morning and the chemicals I added yesterday were right on (chlorine crystals and clarifier tablets).
The water isn’t as clear as we’ve seen it, but the clarity will improve as we use the spa this spring and maintain the proper chemical balance. It improved last summer and fall.
The water, however, was nice and warm at 100 °. The weather cooperated and this afternoon peaked at 80° (see inset time/temp) which is warm enough to use the spa without freezing your a$$ when getting out. Tomorrow is also forecast to be nice, so we may take another dip before the expected cool front moves through on Wednesday.
Today’s spa session was for about 15 minutes before we got out. Staying in too long isn’t recommended, so we’re taking it easy by limiting our relaxation. We ran the air bubbles for a few minutes which added to the relaxation.
Another grueling day of retirement. 😉 Image courtesy of my Canon SX110 IS robot. Click to enlarge.
