FabSwingers.com forum: Spa -, just out of hibernation

Just re filled our spa after dry storage over the winter. It was bone dry and clean inside but when we filled it and came back to check it after 30mins, the water was light green. Definitely not clean!

Any suggestions to what we did wrong storing it and on what we can do to easily clean it.

Have added usual spa cleaning agents and changed the filters x3 so far today.

Thanks

even though you have drained the tub it will still hold water in the pumps, filter housing and pipes to the jets, remove the filter run the pumps and add a shock cleaner, I would drain and clean the tub and filter then re fill, add about a table spoon of chlorine granuals and all should be ok
