This is what happens....

This is what happens when you refill your hot tub after its been empty all summer and you.....
     -don't get the ph in your hot tub adjusted correctly
     -forget to add stain and scale remover every week
     -drain your hot tub for the summer and your ceramic filters degrade
     -all of the above or some of the above
...and you sit in front of the jets for only 20 minutes!!!  you get 2 perfectly circular chemical-type burns on your back, one of which was so bad that it broke the skin.  Along with this condition you get to have sleepless nights, get to go to the dr. and get a diagnosis and oinment/coverings that you must keep on for 5 days, and incredible itching as the burns heal.

I called the spa people...the chemical "expert" there of over 20 years tenure had never heard of such.(i will be sending her a picture of my back so she does not doubt my word)

Try this at home if you dare...its a blast!!!!!....not!
