Hi everyone,
Been lurking for a few months. Just took delivery of our tub a couple weeks ago and I've learned almost everything I know from the wealth of knowledge on this forum. I'm using the 3 step bromine system and have been oxidizing with MPS since I got a bottle free from my dealer, switching to bleach shortly.
One aspect I haven't seen addressed in any threads here is off-gassing from small doses of oxidizer. After heavy use I sometimes put in a small amount of MPS to get the bromine levels back up to the ~4ppm range after being depleted. Does this kind of dose require the hot tub cover to be open for 20 minutes just like a full shock? Or do small maintenance doses not release the kind of volatile compounds of a full shock dose? Any differences in off-gassing to consider when I switch over to bleach? I'm in a colder climate so trying not to leave the cover open longer than I have to.
