New hot tub , What Chemical system to use?
« on: March 24, 2013, 06:26:50 pm »
Bromine ?  Salt ?  Frog system  ?   etc ?

Can i please get some opinions on what care system to run in my new spa when it's delivered in a few weeks.  I have owned a pool for over 10 years so I'm familiar with that process.   One dealer recommends a salt mixture (about 4 cups) with a very light amount of chlorine with a pH buffer,  But i was told by my dealer that any salt mixture  will VOID my 3 year bumper to bumper warranty.    I don't really like the musty smell of Bromine ,(if that's what i have been smelling)    I would like to use a low maintenance system , without a harsh smell if possible, that would also be ok for young children with sensitive skin.

Suggestions  ?

DiChlor / Bleach method.

I started with my new tub doing this method and it's been working great. I go through the bleach faster, but it's much cheaper then Dichlor. Plus if I can keep water changes down, then it's a plus. To hard to explain on what to do, but there have been many topics on it. So do as I did and use the search tab, and look under bleach.
