Revid Posted April 29 Report Share Posted April 29 I read somewhere that you shouldn’t put any chemicals in a cedar hot tub! Is this correct,if not what can I add to water to sanitize it from one session to next? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
waterbear Posted April 30 Report Share Posted April 30 Some people recommend this but I would not. There are many water borne illnesses that include various enteric illnesses and such pulmonary illnesses as Legionnaires' disease and Mycobacterium avium pneumonia (hut tub lung), not to mentions pseudomonas skin infections (hot tub itch). The ONLY way to prevent them is to use an approved fast acting residual sanitizer which, for a wooden tub, bromine is probably your best choice with chlorine a second. However, if this is a private hot tub you can do whatever you want. Just don't let it get you sick or kill you since it is a possibility with undersanitized water.
