Welcome to our forum.
Researched and wet tested, did all the site prepartion and deck modification to accomodate the new tub. Initially everything was fine until I started noticing red, itchy blotches breaking out mainly on my arms. I thought that it might be a reaction to the bromine sanitizer so switched to lithium hypochlorite after draining the tub.
I had the same problem and I went to my skin doctor and sure enough he gave me some medication and it works great. I have it under control now. Belive it or not the hot water will dry out your skin. I never had a problem with eczema until i started going into my hot tub. It just happens in the winter for me.
I'm not familiar with lithium hypochlorite but we found that when we switched to dichlor and add it to the water AFTER we get out of the tub then things got much better.
So you're not using bromine at all? Only dichlor after you soak?
Yup. 2 tsp of dichlor after each use and shock once a week with dichlor as well. If it's a bit cloudy and we have people coming over I'll give it a shot of MPS and it usually clears it up quick enough and it doesn't put the chlorine levels through the roof and we can still go in later in the day. Only other thing I need to do is raise the ph and alk every couple of weeks as they tend to drop. Also give it shot of Defender every week or two as well. That's my routine in a nutshell...
