Welcome to our forum.
backpains,I have been following your posts on water quality. I just want to know how you like bromine for one, and two how you have found maintaining the tub. Is it easier than you expected?Also, do you think the water became cloudy because you are a fish and live in the tub? No seriously, do you think because you use it so much
BP, glad you posted that - I've had the same experience w/ bromine. I no longer need to use lotion on my arms and legs to get rid of that "ashen" dry look that chlorine gave me. I was ready to bite the bullet and start using more lotion to compensate for the drying I expected from the bromine & the hot water.I was amazed that the opposite's been the case.
If you're using Bromine with the tablets and floater then you have a constant feed into your water and the sanitizer levels are much higher when you go in the tub.
I agree that it's a personal decision as to which sanitiser to use. But I disagree with your last statement that using a feeder causes high levels to concentrate...I have not had a problem with this if anything kepping the feeder full enough to keep the levels going is my biggest problem. So I generally have to add the concentrate to keep up.
I asked my dealer when I was getting ready to purchase, what is the diff between the two he said that the bromine works better in high water temps than the chlorine, do not know if that is true.
