Good morning all.
Well, I switched from Bromine *Sodium Bromide*(Found it was very expensive, didn't like the smell and was worried about the resulting gases on health) to Chlorine with salt added for the SWG that came with the unit. I have now developed an allergy to the Chlorine. Rash and itching are the result and when I stay out of the Spa, all my skin issues clear up. No one else in the family has developed any issues. Chlorine readings are always kept between 3-5, PH 7.6, TA 90, CYA 50. I am quite puzzled why this happened to me, but my doctor and I suspect its my long battle with Exzema that must be helping it along.
So, long story short. I am looking at either going back to Bromine or finding some other sanitizer that is softer on my skin.
I am currently looking at Spa Frog but am curious if any other members have tried different products and are they happy with the results.
Thanks all.
Rik
