mscdman Posted July 15, 2021 Report Share Posted July 15, 2021 So for the summer I’ve converted my hot tub into a faux pool. I’m at temperatures of around 85° consistent. In the winter time I noticed that using the bleach/bromine method I was having to add an ounce or so of bleach every other day to keep the bromine level is consistent at temperatures of 104. However after draining the tub for the summer refilling it and balancing the chemicals and setting the water temperature to 85 I’m noticing that the bromine level is staying consistent using the bleach method for some times a week at a time. This seems extremely unusual as shouldn’t the bromine be breaking down just as it would in the winter with the higher hot tub temps? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RDspaguy Posted July 15, 2021 Report Share Posted July 15, 2021 Bromine maintains better than chlorine at high temps, but both will gas off more at higher temps than low. So your chlorine is more effective at generating bromine, and your bromine sticks around longer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
