Try exposing the water to sunlight, the U.V. will cause the Bromine to burn out more quickly. Also when checking your chemicals keep in mind that most chlorine and bromine free shocks will reactivate a little bit of the old bromine. If you are testing your water for bromine levels try shocking it first, wait a little bit and then test for bromine.

Is bromine used in hot tubs?

If there are high levels of either chlorine or bromine in a hot tub, then these chemicals can be irritating to the skin. Absorbing high levels of bromine can also lead to iodine deficiencies in the body. Chlorine is typically safer.


What is your options for hot tub chemicals?

Options for hot tub chemicals include standard bromine or chlorine for disinfectant, pH plus and pH minus to adjust pH levels. Some hot tub owners who want more environmentally friendly solutions that use less chemicals are using ozonators, bromine or chlorine salt generators (salt systems), Waters Choice enzyme treatment which reduces chemicals needed, and mineral sticks.


Pool chemicals in a hot tub?

It is important to regularly test and balance the pH, alkalinity, and sanitizer levels in a hot tub to ensure it remains safe and effective. Using chemicals like chlorine, bromine, or non-chlorine shock can help maintain a clean and clear water environment. Follow the manufacturer's guidelines and recommendations for proper dosing and application of these chemicals.


Can you swim if the bromine level is high?

Yes the only way to get the bromine level down is by getting in. You just dont want to get it right after you have used the bromine powder. If you are using a bromine floater with tablets and its getting too high all the time switch the setting on the floater to less hole opening. I also recommend while using the floater in a hot tub is to take it out while using the hottub as it gets in the way. Espacially if its a high level so that it can come down.


What is bromine in a pool?

Bromine is a chemical used to disinfect pool water, similar to chlorine. It is often used as an alternative to chlorine because it is more stable at higher temperatures and a wider pH range. Bromine is effective at killing bacteria and algae in pool water.

Why is my hot springs hot tub not heating?

This could be down to a faulty part like a failed heater, circulation pump or thermostat, or even simply that there is not enough water in the Hot Tub.


Salt water hot tubs?

Salt water hot tubs have some misconceptions behind them. FIRST. It is not the same as the ocean. The ocean has tens of thousands PPM of sodium. (notice I used sodium, not salt) Salt water hot tubs (and pools) start out with only 1500 to 2100 PPM of sodium. A fraction. SECOND. All bromine and Chlorine start out as sodium. Bromine, started out as Sodium Bromide (NaBr). Chlorine (NaCl)......take a look at the box of table salt. Salt water hot tubs are nor corrosive then any other tub out there. Acidity actually come from other sources. Okay, now that we understand what and where the chemistry comes from, lets look into how it works for our hot tubs. We cannot use NaCl in a hot tub, it is affected by temperatures over 98deg. (which is every hot tub out there). So, we have to use a bromine base, that is not affected by heat, NaBr. This is of course the raw material used to make an active bromine, which is what kills the bacteria. We add, based on the size of tub, many gallons (or Litres) to the tub to bring the PPM up to the appropriate level. (between 1500-2100 PPM). The NaBr, is mixed up with the water and is now ready to turn into Bromine. We turn the NaBr into Bromine by passing the water proper ppm levels) over something called a "salt cell". This cell is made of graphite. (pools use titanium) As the water comes in contact with the surface area of the cell, the energy releases the Bromine molecule and turns the sodium molecule dormant (but not gone). We now have an active, or FREE BROMINE. As the bromine comes in contact with bacteria, the bromine is then used up, and goes dormant, bringing it back to its original state (NaBr). As your hot tub circulates, it simply recycles the inactive back to active, over and over again. And because Na is a mineral, it does not evaporate with your water, so there is far less draining of your tub, and considerably less chemicals....There is a major cost savings. P.S. If someone tells you that it is not good for your tub, understand this. The reason for dumping a regular hot tub every 3 months or so, is because of the pucks and powders that you use in the tub, they are full of all sorts of fillers and the pucks are full of glues and binders that help make them dissolve slowly. FACT. Salt water hot tubs do not use pucks and powders.... It actually far better for your tub, they use only liquids.
