The best place to go for the dichlor routine is Doc's site in the FAQs section look for the Vermonter's water treatment article.

tony,
My view is just the opposite.  I think that a dichlor routine works best for people who are very regular in their soaking habits and bromine is better for those who may skip several days between soaks.  I use dichlor for my tub but if I had a tub in, let's say, a rental unit, I'd use bromine in it because of the occasional use.

BTW, IMHO, I contend dichlor is really no more work than bromine....it just requires more periodic attention which is no problem if the tub is used at least once every other day or two.  But, then again, I've never used bromine so I really don't know about it except what I've read.  The best benefit I enjoy from dichlor use is soaking in very little if any of the sanitizer.


Remember, I am a devoted dichlor user also.

Maybe someone could clarify this for me - switching from one to the other is not as simple as changing out the water - I thought that there were potential problems if you were switching from bromine to dichlor in that there could be some kind of chemical reaction with any residue bromine still in the system.However, it is ok to switch from dichlor to bromine.

Thoughts?

If switching from bromine to chlorine, you must drain, clean and fill because adding chlorine only recharges the bromine.  The only way to be sure it doesn't stay a bromine tub is to get rid of all the bromine.

You can switch from dichlor to bromine anytime.  Bromine tabs are part chlorine, anyway.

Which is why I tell folks never to use them. The damage they do is not covered by most warranties.

If you want to go with Bromine, find some "Brilliance" from the folks who brought us Baqua.

It is chlorine free - you shock with MPS once a week.

Much easier on spa surfaces, pillows, covers and peoples.
