So, my 17 yr old jacuzzi pump failed and was replaced, so my brief experiment to see if I could stand using bromine is over (and I failed...I just can't stand the smell and it seems to exacerbate my eczema.)
With my fresh water, I've initially loaded a new "controlled" floater with small trichloroethane pucks (the kiddie pool size) to get the cya up a little. (1" tabs)
I will test in a few days, but I'm trying to take a guess how long before I need to switch to bleach. Or whether I can get through winter without a water change if I keep using the pucks, which are convenient...
My spa repair guy's son has eczema, and he believes the trichloro pucks are better than bromine in a variety of ways, including easier on equipment,but does not seem to appreciate the cya impact fully. However, he uses an ozonator so therefore uses less product. He thought I'd be fine until spring...
If anyone knows the formula for a 1" puck, please share...I know it's 60 percent of the FC produced but am unclear what ppm/gallon a 1" puck produces.
Thanks in advance!
