    Switch from Bromine to chlorine questions

    I have had a rash for the last six months that the dr can not figure out. Not bacterial not fungal. It gets way worse after using the hot tub (could just be the heat inflaming it, but) I think I may have a problem with the chemicals I am using. I used the chlorine system on my pool and never...

    Bromine system shock question

    Every time I test my tub lately the Bromine level is low like 0-1. I test daily. So I have decided it needs shocking. Last night I added enough bleach to get the Bromine level to 21.375 this morning it was at 11.25 so I added more chlorine to get it up to 20.25 (10:00am) at 3:30pm it's at...

    Bromine system questions

    I have run out of MPS the hot tub store gave me so now I am using bleach. I am using the three step bromide system at the moment. What I don't understand is how to figure out how much bleach to add after we have been in the tub. Just putting the tabs back up n does not raise it high enough...

    New hot tub,best way to level and set up

    Just got my hot tub delivered today! I was so excited; then they said they could not place it where we want because it is not level enough and the tub would eventually crack. One store we asked they said they could put some planks under the tub and level it that way and it would work so I didn't...

    New hot tub, bromine or chlorine? It has an ozonator

    So we ordered a hot tub yesterday, should get it in a couple weeks. It comes with the ozonator, and they want to give me spa marvel to get started, but I am not sure I trust that to keep my spa germ free. So should I ask for the bromine or chlorine starter kit? (Either one will come "free"with...

    New pool liner?

    When should a pool liner be replaced? I have no idea how old this one is, almost all color is gone from the bottom, and there is one place it looks like there is a "fuzziness" to it in about a foot circle. So I know it needs done soon, but can it last this season, I really don't want to wait...

    FC won't stay up, but water clear ?

    I have shocked as directed by pool store over and over and gone through a $100 bucket of calcium chloride(? ) and still the FC level is 0.2-0.4. I have given up on the stores help and want to figure this out! Bought the test kit recommended here. I added one gallon of bleach and the next evening...
