Back in Time: June 2008 post "Pina Colada Spa"

We drained and cleaned the spa because we had some weird chemical leveling problems and then when I threw in a bunch of stuff, produced ugly yellow guck. We were also having a party
so it was a good excuse to have a clean spa for people to use. The morning of the party, the spa was all the way up to 85 degrees and still working, we were working on getting the pH and alkalinity levels correct so had the spa open. (Note, the position of the spa is on the ground floor under a 2nd floor deck . . . Yes, you can hear it coming.)

Susan started mixing drinks (she had rented a frozen drink machine). She started up the machine and zazoom! 4 gallons of pina colada and rum went everywhere and mostly into the spa! :( It smelled fabulous! Susan managed to recover enough bubbles and crud out that we were able to use the spa for the party and that evening; but alas, we drained again today. (more pool maintenance!)
