So I've been using Bromine now for about a week on a fresh fill, previously Dichlor/Bleach. I used to keep FC at around 1-2ppm and it was great, virtually no smell.
I've moved to 3-Step Bromine and it absolutely stinks, not just the tub but our skin afterwards.
Initial Sodium Bromide bank added, PH 7.5, TA 60ppm, CH 150ppm, Borates 50ppm, BCD floater @ 2ppm. To me the smell is about comparable to dipping in 20ppm FC. I have DBD tabs on order but I doubt it will do much, it smelt like this even after the initial Bromide bank before any floater.
I can't see different brands of Bromine making a difference, their composition seems very similar. What gives, how do you Bromine uses tolerate this?
