What are the white “paper-like” particles in my spa water?
The usual cause of white floating particles is known as bio-film. Bio-film grows in the pipes of your spa when it is not used often or filtered and cycled properly. Begin by replacing the filter cartridge, then add twice the amount of recommended shock. Turn on the pumps for about 30 minutes for circulation of the shock through all of the pipes. Clean the filter cartridge. Repeat as necessary until the water is cleared.
