I'm cleaning and refilling my hot tub for the season and decided to
switch from chlorine to bromine for sanitizer. Anything in particular
I need to look out for? (Beyond the usual water testing, etc.)

Thanks in advance,
Jo Ann


Some people (like me) get a weird rash from bromine, but not chlorine. If
you switch, I'm not coming over. Seriously, if anyone gets itchy, and it
lasts two weeks, that'll probably be the reason.


That sounds more like a PH issue, which is unconnected to which sanitizer
is
used.

CWM.

I don't know - I'm not a pool expert. But, a few years back, I was
travelling a lot, and it happened in at least 30 different pools & hot tubs.
That's a lot of bad pH situations. Is it that difficult to maintain
correctly? Maybe more likely in hotels?
