It's the copper in old Plumbing. The acidity of the water or just age can cause corrosion, releasing copper into the water. You can replace with PVC, or get a filtration system, or just drink bottled water, if you're concerned about it.

Scoop them out with a net making sure there are no remaining eggs or tadpoles. Drain and clean your hot tub.

And then keep your hot tub covered when it is not in use.

Water can come from the tap or it can come from the drain -- one or the other.Assuming that you didn't turn on the water to fill the tub, perhaps the sewer system drains are backed up.


Why would there be no water supply if the water and gas were recently turned back on in your house but now when you try to turn on the water to fill the bath tub nothing happens?

If the bath tub is the only place you are not getting water, I would check for a shut-off valve somewhere between the tub and where it branches off from the main hot and cold water lines. Or you could just have a bad valve on the tub.
