water vapour from filter stream

[qwertyjjj]

The filter stream (also heating) has 2 jets in the hot tub but the bubbles from the jet seem to throw up a lot of water vapour, which makes me cough sometimes. Is there anything I can do to reduce it while in the tub but have the heating/stream continue running like plugging up the jet a bit?
Alternatively, might it be caused by too many chemicals in the water (ph reducer, bromine, etc.) ?

 How old is the water? 

[qwertyjjj]

at least a month if not 2 or more.
The vapour would still be there though even with fresh water...

  Depends on whats causing the vapor?   If its an ozone smell unless you unplug the ozone it will still be there, if its chemical could be a few things from to high of sanitizer IE bromine or chlorine or a build up of TDS (total dissolved solids)  Do you notice this smell when you first fill the spa or does it show up after you have been using it for awhile, and are you on bromine?

What's the bromine level?

[qwertyjjj]

There's no smell in the vapour (not strong anyway), I think it's just the water vapour in the air, water droplets caused by the bubbles.
Could be too much dissolved solids?
Bromine and ph levels are fine with the tester.

No way, to plug up the filter vents slightly to reduce the mist?

[Jacuzzi Jim]

 No not really, I don't think your problem is stemming from that, and your pretty vague on what your actually smelling.  Couple of us tried to help to no avail, and by the lack of responses no one else seems to know either?

It is difficult when one asks a very specific question, and the response is vague.


e.g. What's the bromine levels? --  They're fine.

Between 1.2ppm and 2.2 ppm on the tester. Fine is about this or between 1 and 1.5 according to the tester manual...
There is no string smell of anything. I suppose it could be bromine in the mist but I'm not sure how I can reduce it other than to empty out the tub and refill then shock treat in case it is residual chemicals?

[qwertyjjj]

best to empty it and restart?

    It might help try it and see.   One more question is when was the last time you shocked it really good?
