Kitdzn Posted June 9, 2019 Report Share Posted June 9, 2019 We purchased a new Marquis spa and have had trouble keeping it clear and balanced. Not at first, but gradually I began to really feel affected by the chlorine smell (ours was a bromine system by bull frog) I would get congested and then cough for days after use. It felt like the chemicals were burning my lungs. But we also has a foaming film which I now believe to be biofilm, so we are going to decontaminate and sanitize then rebalance. My question is for ongoing maintenance, I wanted to ask if anyone has any experience with IONRX product which is a copper based product used in conjunction with chlorine. The reviews are 5 stars and everyone claims little chlorine fumes and easier to keep clear water. This is recommended by Dr Weil as a less chemical way to maintain clear water.

Matt16060936 Posted September 15, 2019 Report Share Posted September 15, 2019 I'm guessing your water is unsafe. "Andrew Thomas Weil is an American celebrity doctor who advocates for alternative medicine." (wikipedia, citing 6 non-celebrity sources). Personally I'd be very interested in all of his recommendations, as products to avoid. As for solutions, the "chlorine smell" is chloramines, which are normal and produced when chlorine is getting spent sanitizing grime, but well-maintained water usually doesn't produce offensive amounts of chloramines. I'd recommend reading Dichlor/bleach Method In A Nutshell for chlorine sanitization, or What's The Step By Step To Bromine Treatment? for bromine sanitization.
