    Hello and help with chemical allergies.

    Thanks for all the replies. Since my last post, I had another allergic reaction with no chlorine or bromine just the pristine blue, and had to rethink everything. My best figuring was that when I replaced the air lines with 1/2 " liquid tite conduit I may have saved $30 over flex pvc, but it is...

    Hello and help with chemical allergies.

    I read all about the need for a sanitizer (chlorine, bromine)and agree, but the bather load is just me and my wife, and until I can get everything worked out and can reintroduce (hopefully) chlorine or bromine, I will have to go with what I can get that keeps the marbles from itching :cheers...

    Hello and help with chemical allergies.

    Thanks for the reply. Will get a real test kit next time I am in town. I haven't take a good hot bath since before this started, but I can try that when I get off of work. Heat has never been as issue before hope that isn't it. I like things hot, baths, shower, and the weather here in Alabama. I...

    Hello and help with chemical allergies.

    Hi all! I am new here :wave: I am a hot tub addict and am not interested an anyones twelve step process, but thank you. Anywho, I recently rebuilt my hot tub (an old morgan spa) with all new jets and new plumbing, new digital control pack and heater. The only thing I kept was the filter housing...
