Vinegar Neutralizes Chlorine - Hot Tub Setup

[2006]

If you're using regular city water, you need something.

I used to go to those deprivation tanks and boy, they've got salt and chlorine galore. So, I take a bottle of vinegar and I'd dump it in there. Cause I'd go for, you know, six, eight hours at a time. And they'd even say, "Boy, you're really rank. It smelled like some kind of acid shit there".

I said, "Well, you clean them out every so often anyways, so clean it out after I get out" because I don't tell 'em I put vinegar in it. Cause I don't wanna get in all that chlorinated water and the vinegar neutralizes chlorine.

So, if you go to a friend's house, you bring your vinegar and dump it in

[Aajonus]

Well, when I used to go to swimming pools, I would do that. I would take a couple of cups.

[Attendee]

Well, if you're neutralizing it, then the stuff's gonna start growing.

[Aajonus]

No, vinegar stops that from growing.

[Attendee]

So, you could just use vinegar maybe?

[Aajonus]

Yeah, but it could dry your skin a little bit.

So, you might want to put some coconut cream in there.

[Attendee]

So, you could just use regular water, city water?

[Aajonus]

Iif you're using a sand filter and vinegar, you'll be fine. You just have to neutralize the poisons in the city water.

LA has 192 chemicals in the water, San Diego's 168 chemicals in the water.

[Attendee]

So, to neutralize the chemicals in the water, the vinegar alone would do that?

[Aajonus]

It will help. That's why when you want to neutralize them completely, you need a high calcium and other minerals, and that's what comes with the milk. Or if you don't want to use that for your jacuzzi, you could use epsom salt and vinegar.

[Attendee]

So, does the sand filter have to be in the jacuzzi or can you fit it outside?

[Aajonus]

Fit it on the outside. I got my jacuzzi, it's 10 feet in diameter. It's concrete, poured concrete, and I keep it, there's a center section, there's a seat level and a lot of people are in it, but when it's just me I go in it every day, almost every day when I'm in town.

I just keep it only just above the seat level, so I'm down in the center section, which is about, five foot diameter. So, the heating bill isn't high and I can heat the thing in an hour instead of six, seven hours if I've got it full because it's about a 500 gallon jacuzzi if it's full, but 14 people can fit in it.

When it's small, three, four people can fit in it comfortabley when I have it on the low level.

Let's say the jacuzzi here, my whole filter system and heater are in a separate house that was built probably 45 feet away from the jacuzzi itself, and I keep mine outdoors.
