Hey, Hey, hot tubers.
Do you have phosphates in your hot tub?
And you have no idea how to check them, stay tuned and I'll be right back.
And I'm gonna show you exactly how the, how to do that.
So, Hey guys, welcome back.
One of the questions that I'm getting pretty much every single day,
especially on the YouTube channel here.
How do I test for phosphates in my hot tub?
Well, it's super easy and it's actually one of my favorite things to test for.
But what you need to do is you need to get some phosphate test strips,
and I will actually link those down below in the description, but you
just get your phosphate test drips.
Super simple.
It's going to come with a little tube like this.
So this is your.
And then you are going to get your test strips and that's what
that bottle looks like there.
So really important.
So all you do is just take your test are about, and what was that day?
And then you take the cap off of the bottle and then you've been,
this don't crease it, but bandit.
So it's just kind of got a little U shaped like that.
Make sure you don't like put a hard crease in it.
So it just looks.
Like that there.
So that's what you're going to do.
And you're gonna take your vial and you're gonna fill it
up to the 10 millimeter mark.
So we're gonna take it out of our hot tub and we're just going to fill that up.
okay.
And then you make sure that's right at the 10 minute.
You put the cat back in it.
And then this is just my favorite part.
You just going to tip this upside down.
Bubble right here.
It goes back and forth 10 times.
So there's 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6.
7 8, 9, 10.
Okay.
So I can tell you right now that the phosphates in my water are super bad.
Um, and I did have some friends over this weekend and they got in the hot
tub and one of them had a t-shirt on.
So I guess we're phosphates come from laundry soap is one of the
first places that it comes from.
So then you take your bottle and you've got it.
Got it like this, but you actually have to line it up with the bottom.
I hope I can do this without spilling it.
Um, I may have to come in at another angle, but you actually line this up.
And so my phosphates are well over 2,500, but you have to look down the bottom.
Of the vile to actually get your, your, your reading.
You can't just measure it from the side like this.
You actually have to look down the bottom of the vial and
then get your reading that way.
So I actually have 2,500 parts per million of phosphates in my hot tub right now.
That would be why I have CEDS.
Cause I really do have.
Hi, um, the bubbles right now.
If I turn the jets on, I'll show you a video of both, um, both
of this from the top, and then the foam I have in my hot tub.
So I'm going to start with two ounces of phosphate.
We removed remover to get my salt system to work better, and I'm going to do that
every week for probably five, six weeks.
That's going to make it go away.
Just remember that phosphates can show up from anywhere at any time.
So you think you have an under.
They can be gone again next week.
You can be just as high as again.
So it's really important to get the phosphate test removers.
Um, it's good to have in your kit.
I highly recommend them.
Um, especially if you have a saltwater hot tub there, this is a way bigger
deal on saltwater, hot tubs than it is on regular chlorine, hot
tubs, but it is a big thing to do.
