As for the foam, it is caused by tanning oils, sunblocks, shampoos, conditioners, soap, body oil, fabric cleaners etc. To correct this problem add hexametaphosphate or "Foam Out".
If a spa bromine test turns orange, it usually indicates a high level of bromine in the water. This may be due to over-dosing the spa with bromine tablets or shock treatment. It is recommended to stop adding bromine until the levels return to normal and ensure proper water circulation and filtration to help lower the bromine levels.
Yes, spa bromine can tarnish silver. Bromine is a reactive element that can cause silver to tarnish and corrode over time. It is best to remove silver jewelry before using spa products containing bromine to prevent damage.
Bromine is better overall as a solution than chlorine for hot tubs. Bromine Tablets are EPA registered, are an excellent sanitizer choice, are inexpensive and very easy to use. Used best with a floating feeder system, Bromine is superior to chlorine in that once free chlorine is combined with waste, it has no further sanitizing capability. For water pool treatment Trichlor tablets work great. Because of the high acidic nature, this particular type of chlorine is not recommended in spas. It also dissolves too slow to be effective. If the spa shell is exposed to Trichlor for a prolonged period of time, bleaching of the spa shell can occur and can often cause a permanent ring at the water line of the spa shell.
I changed from using chlorine to bromine in my hot tub. As usual, I watered my grass with the old spa water when I cleaned and changed it. Chlorinated water never hurt the grass. However, the bromine water left me with brown and apparently dead grass and a withered tree. It took about a year for it to come back but it did. I found another less vulnerable place to discharge the spa the next few times. All seemed well. Now I am seeing a large withering tree further out in the yard. I am thinking that the salts have leached down to the roots and are causing the problem. I will not discharge the bromine water into my yard any more. I will use the sanitary sewer where I know the water will be properly treated without affecting the environment. I hope my tree recovers and the remaining salts disperse soon.
This spa treatment is called hot stone massage. It involves placing heated stones on the body to help relax muscles and promote circulation.

If bromine levels in a spa are too high, you can lower them by adding a bromine reducer or diluting the water with fresh water. You can also turn off the bromine feeder and run the spa without adding any more bromine for a few days to let the levels naturally decrease. Regularly test the water to monitor the bromine levels until they are within the appropriate range.

No, pH minus will not lower bromine levels in a pool or spa. pH minus is used to decrease the pH level of the water, while bromine is a type of sanitizer. To lower bromine levels, you can dilute the water or use a product specifically designed to remove bromine.
it is a bromine and mineral stick sanitizing system by King Technology, Inc.
Bathers contribute body oils to the spa. Foaming is usually caused by a reaction of body oils and cosmetic residues with the alkalinity of the water. This can lead to the formation of "soaps" and foamy water. The foam can be eliminated by using Anti-foam and enzyme products periodically.
Chlorine, bromine, uv, ozone.
The best spa covers are made with a variety of foam, barrier and vinyl with zippers and tie downs. They generally have a hinge so you can flip it in half.
