Welcome to our forum.
This newby may have a skin reaction to Bromine. Strange and weird types of rashes have been coming and going on my arms and neck since we got our tub. I would like to hear about others reactions to Bromine so I can use the data to pinpoint the cause of these annoying and itchy little rashes.
I know Bromine can be much more harsh on skin than chlorine.
Should you shower after you have been in your tub even if you thoroghly shower before you go in?
And....if it is the Bromine, why just my arms and neck and nothing on my legs.
Could it be from the other chemicals like the natural enzyme?
Also, can I change a bromine tub over to a chlorine tub by depleting the bromie to 0ppm and then introducing chlorine? Or should I dump the water again?
What about my Microclean filter and the residual bromine?
When we switched from Bromine to Dichlor we changed the amount of sanitizer that we are subjected to because of how we add the dichlor. We add it AFTER we use the tub so by the time we use the tub the next day the level is down to almost nothing as it burns off before we get in again. The fact that there is very little chemical in the water when we get in is likely why we have seen such a big improvement in our skin. The problem with Bromine is that you have to keep the reserve up and there is typically a constant feed to keep the levels constant.
