Welcome to our forum.
thanks for the tips, I did wonder about the moisturizing thing, but what seems odd is with chlorine if I am in the tub for only 30 to 40 mins i get a reaction. its similar to what folks call hot tub rash but it only affects me not the others in the tub. The tub is less than 3 months old so I dont think that we would have a lot of biofilm build up yet.So tomorrow as its supposed to be above freezing (we are in Canada, was -34c 2 weeks ago) we will drain, clean and refill and then give Bromine a spin. Can't be any worse than what we have now (I hope)

Can't be any worse than what we have now (I hope) I hear ya. I started with bromine and had the same reaction...... rash that looked allot like heat rash and only on my chest. I'm the only one out of 3 of use that use the tub that got any kind of rash. First it sounded like there was to much cya in the water from the granular bromine i was using. So i drained refilled started over with pucks of bromine. Same thing rash never went away. Another couple weeks pass and i said it's not getting any better so a nice day came along ( i live in Canada a well) so i drained again. Started on trichlor pucks used that for around 2 weeks rash went away. Then i started reading that trichlor has cya in it as well so i switched to bleach. Works great. Longest time between water changes yet.... got tub end of Oct. We are now 5 weeks on same water. Water looks and feels great still. We do use the tub atleast once a day usually twice.
