Hello everyone,
I have a 2010 hot spring spa. I sanitized with dichlor granules for 1.5 years. I then developed excema and switched to Bromine.
What I like about bromine:
The floater has been fantastic. I test the water 3+ times a week ( I just enjoy testing the water with my drop test kit!) and the ph and bromine levels have been solid as a rock. I add my bromine puck to the floater and that's it. If we went away I'm less concerned about coming back to a cloudy spa (which happened to me twice with chlorine).
What I didn't like about chlorine:
-needed to add chlorine every day to maintain the 1-2 ppm
I would like to switch back to chlorine:
1. I prefer the lack of odor in the spa and on my skin afterward
2. my dermatologist mentioned that there is some research that suggests chlorine may improve excema symptoms
Simply put, is there a chlorine sanitizer regimen that uses a floater, that is as simple and effective as my current bromine approach? I've seen some discussions regarding trichlor pucks, and it hasn't been favorable.
Thanks in advance!
