How much chlorine in spa is dangerous?
It depends on your 'danger' level. Any amount of chlorine can be dangerous. It only takes a few drops in a gallon of water to disinfect it (kill every living thing in there) after only a few minutes. Chlorine is classified as a toxin, yet it is put in our drinking water and in pools and used in spas. For a normal sized spa, I would never pour more than a cup of chlorine into the spa. 10 ppm is considered the max. If your spa is green and you are not going to use it then feel free to pour 2 or more cups in it. You're better off draining it at this point. To prevent chlorine breakdown, it is recommended that you add stabilizer and its level will depend on how big your spa is. Chlorine is dangerous because it can damage liners and upset water balance. I suggest that you use 2 ppm of chlorine or more then shock your water for it will prevent the bad odor.

Can you have a salt water hot tub and a chlorine pool without cross contamination?
You cannot "contaminate" a chlorine pool or spa with salt or vice versa. Chlorine starts as salt. Chlorine generators use salt to make chlorine. Therefore your "salt" spa is already a chlorine spa, you are just not putting chlorine tablets in it. It is a very common misconception that a salt system is some how different than a chlorine system. There are no "salt generators" and the salt does nothing other than allow a "chlorine generator" to produce chlorine. We get this question almost every day and it's generally because customers are "sold" not "told" about the product they purchased. If you were expecting anything other than purchasing a device that makes chlorine from salt, you will be disappointed. Pool & Spa

How do you raise cyanuric acid levels in a spa?
Cyanuric acid is generally called chlorine stabilizer and it is used to prevent the suns UV rays from eating up the chlorine in outdoor pools. Because most spa's are covered when not in use this is generally not a concern for spa or hot tub owners. If you do however have an outdoor uncovered spa and you wish to raise the CYA level you would simply visit your local pool supply store and purchase some chlorine stabilizer, just ask for cyanuric acid and they will know what to get you.
