Backyard Spas - Hot Tubs - Saunas

Just added the recommended chemicals, the chlorine substitute and such. How soon should I wait before getting in?

I have a 500 gallon hot tub and i use liquid pool chlorine in the hot tub. I am on a well that has high ph to start. the problem i am having is that the ph is always extremly high in the hot tub. any thought? ant better ideas? the only chemicals i use is ph reducer and liquid chlorine.
Why do people use bromine?

I just got a new hot tub for Valentine's day. I want to know how to take care of it. It has a place for chemicals in line. But other than the chemicals, what else can I do to keep it looking and working good for a long time?

I have been having problems with my hot tub for a while now. The water seems to stay cloudy and now it has a green tint to it. Also it gets a almost tan colored foam on it when we use it. What would be the best chemical to use in it? We have been using the BaquaSpa stuff with nothing but problems. Would it be better to use Bromine or Chlorine? Also we have a ozonator on the tub but all that it seems to be is a bubble pump. I can not tell a difference when it is on or off. Should it be used and does it really do anything?

We just got a new Jacuzzi brand hot tub. We've been following the instructions for chemicals as best we can. Every time we finish using it (daily lately) we test and the bromine is zero or close to it. We add more. We test 20 mins later and it's fine. Sometimes even a bit high. However, the next day, its back to zero. Anyone have any ideas or suggestions? Is it safe for us to use when it's at zero?

Thanks!
Yes it's covered when not in use.

We have to sell our house to move to another state, we need to fix one last thing, is our hot tub and we know it has a leak. How can we fix it with out having to spend a fortune to get it repaired. Otherwise we will have problems selling house.
