chantal0123 Posted July 17, 2008 Report Share Posted July 17, 2008 My nose has been sensitive for the last 3 days in our tub. The last two days, I even sneezed on several occasions. The smell (but it doesn't smell that much though...) gets to my nose immediately and I start to have an "itchy" nose... and then, I sneeze one or two times. I have to sit up straighter so that my face is not too close to the water. My ph is a bit high so I put some PH down in tonight. Could it be the PH?? We're using chlorine and I thought that I'm having a reaction since we have a pool. It's not the same "smell"... it's hard to describe. Advice anyone?

Hillbilly Hot Tub Posted July 17, 2008 Report Share Posted July 17, 2008 PH being high can irritate your nose, so I would try getting that set first. Ozone will also cause some people to sneeze/cough. It also has a different smell, like the smell in a lightning storm. Its hard to describe. If you open the cover and turn the jets on for about 5 minutes before you get in it will dissipate the ozone if this is the cause since the ozone is suppose to shut off when the jets are turned on. Thats where I would start first. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It will be harder to tell if it is the PH or chlorine if you do both at the same time. I don't think it is the chlorine unless your level is real high or real low and then you would have a definate chlorine smell. I know both high PH and low PH bother my nose, so that would be my first guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
