Welcome to our forum.
And while I have never used Dichlor, I like Bromine. Since my tub hasn't had much use lately, it is easy for me not to worry about dumping in chemicals everyday. I actually left the tub this summer for a long period of time with just the bromine cartridge and it was crystal clear when I got home. Some people are sensitive however to Bromine and would rather soak without that odor.

But your comment intrigued me...you say Bromine has an odor? I guess I just assumed chlorine had more of an odor than Bromine...am I wrong?
Chlorine should not have an odor, can't say if bromine does or not. If you smell chlorine you need to shock the tub. Chlorine smell comes from combined chlorine. Of course if you are running a tub at 20 PPM, yes, you may get an odor.From what I've read, combined chlorine has no sanitizing effect or very little where combined bromine is very effective.Quote from: just ducky on February 08, 2010, 07:54:00 pmWe've had our tub for almost a year, and we've used Dichlor the whole time.
