Scubakerny Posted August 9, 2020 Report Share Posted August 9, 2020 New to the Spa (Hot Tub) scene, have had pools my whole life but having a hard time keeping the chlorine/bromine levels up. I don't want to over do it but need it to be safe of course. I have to add chlorine daily but ran out, using up the bromine that we got with the spa but would like to move away from that chlorine smell. I am considering two other options to replace the chlorine and bromine. First option is iONRx - https://www.ionrx.com/ Second option is Cleanwater Blue - https://www.spadepot.com/Cleanwater-Blue-Spa-Pro-Supplies-Kit-P2667 Third option is Chlorine or Bromine - If this is the most recommended, what regiment should I be doing...... Thanks for your help Anthony Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RDspaguy Posted August 10, 2020 Report Share Posted August 10, 2020 The first one is copper based algaecide. Most mineral purifiers for spas use silver ion. Not sure as I have never used copper in a spa. The second is also a mineral sanitizer system. It is a kit so has what you need with only about half of it being useless. I also do not use liquid minerals, I prefer the cartridge, so can't speak to it's effectiveness. I should point out that neither of these gets rid of the need for chlorine in your spa. Also, once you add sodium bromide to a spa it will always be a bromine spa until you drain it and start over. Is it a new spa? Does it have an ozone generator? Have you ever used Ahh-Some spa purge?

Scubakerny Posted August 28, 2020 Author Report Share Posted August 28, 2020 Sorry we were on vacation in Yellowstone last week with limited reception. Thank you for the info. No its a older spa, but still runs great. No ozone, but something we may look into. No, I will look up ahh-some asap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RDspaguy Posted August 30, 2020 Report Share Posted August 30, 2020 If it isn't plumbed for ozone you don't want to add it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
