We just had a new Caldera Reunion spa set up, heated up overnight and there is a yellow line at the water line, not grimy, just yellow. I guess we went out of order and added salt and turned on the SWG, added PH decrease since it was about 8, and added a half cap of shock to stop whatever is going on at the water line. Anyway, after all that our levels were:
TA-140
CH-150
PH 7.6
The spa came with the Vanishing Act Pillow to reduce CA hardnesss. I spoke with the dealer and without hearing my numbers he told me we had to take out the filter and put the pillow there and run 4 6-hour cycles, turning the pillow over after each one. He said after that turn the SWG to level 8, he said the water line would come off on its own after all this.
I just don't understand why we need our CH that low and why we would need it that low at all really. He told us not to get in the tub until we'd done the 4 cycles, because it was "mess everything up and cause headaches down the road". Thoughts?
