I'm a new tub owner, tubbing daily for 30 to 45 min. I find that after 20 minutes in the tub my hands are extremely dry, more akin to how they might feel after 2 hours in a pool. My body is a bit dry too, but that doesn't bother me so much. The water is giving me that "I can't touch a newspaper" (or even pet my dog) feeling. My water is fairly balanced and bromine is low. Any thoughts about what's causing this or, better yet, how to mitigate this? I've read a bit about Gentle Spa and have ordered some, but will this help? See my numbers and thanks for your feedback:
PH = 7.6
TA = 50
CH = 200
BR = 1 (I have the spa frog inline bromine/mineral system)
