Can't wait for them to install my tub. Watching these videos I want to do a hot tub deep clean side hustle.
Great information videos... We have ordered a hot tub and are waiting for it to get delivered couple weeks
Your details were very helpful
You never mentioned which one is safer for the body and environment.
Awesome..makes life easier
Bromine because it is less toxic to humans, Blessed Be.
Hello, i love your videos, they are very well made , simple and clear, direct to the point. Would you mind helping me out with the name of the software that you use to make them?
Kind Regards
I’m sure there’s a formula but I’ve been eye-balling chems for years with no issues. Levels all good 👍
Thanks for the bit about not mixing them. Last time I went to buy last year their was a shortage of bromine so I bought chlorine. I'm mabout to buy more again and was thinking of switching. But since I would have to drain and clean the lines I might just wait. I add chlorine to my hot tub every other day though! If I try to add extra to make it last longer its like shock level chlorine. I only have it set at 95 deg.
Yeah I see other videos saying it's okay to mix them LOL thank you for your insights also
I set up my above ground pool with 6300 gallons of water last week and am floating bromine tablets (didn’t have chlorine tablets yet but had a 5 gallon bucket of bromide tablets for my spa. Have I ruined my pool? Do I have to drain all the water to start with clorine? Or can I just let it leach away.?
best chemical for indoor hot tub?
Will bromine cause dry skin rash
Wait… if it’s that dangerous, and they can’t even be stored next to each other, is it dangerous to move from swimming in a chlorine pool to a bromine hot tub or vice versa?
If you are not to mix chlorine and bromine in water, how do you explain 1-bromo-3-chloro tablets and dichlor enhance MPS shocks?
You can use chlorine shock with a bromine system. You just have to run the jets for a while and only mix them in the water , not dry. Read up on it and use common sense
@@keithlegg7681 I did this and my test strips (which don't differentiate between chlorine and bromine levels) are reading like the chlorine/bromine levels are very high. I can find all sorts of articles that explain this issue, but none of them explain what I should do from here. Any suggestions?
I've heard it is hard on the tub to use a floater. ??
What is bromine
If my hot tub uses a uv light to sanitize should I say away from using bromine because the uv light will burn it off faster or does the uv light have no effect?
It also burns off chlorine so no difference there
Any answer on this?
I'm getting my hot tub in a month. I was told I could use Bromine and a chlorine shock. Wouldn't that be mixeing them?
Nope
@@W1ldt1m can I take out the bromide tablets from my new (1 week old) above ground pool and switch to chlorine without changing the water? It’s a sand filter. The sand filter will be upgraded in a week to the bigger one if that’s useful. I didn’t have chlorine tablets at setup so my son just put several bromide tablets in the floater.
@@penniewyatt9391 no. Not typically. There might be a way in a pool but for a hot tub draining and filling is required to go from bromine to chlorine
chlorine
Note that all the Disney parks use bromine for their water attractions as the chloramines are much more "fragrant" than the bromamines are and can be distracting.
Ha no, add new water and floating bromine is all you need. Don’t fall for the spa trap.
