Most commonly it's caled lifegard lung.. been around a long time. It also only occures with indoor pools, spas, and other water features.

Interesting yes, but also inaccurate. The effectivness of chlorine is NOt effected by temperature. HOWEVER, at higher temperatures it does "boil off", or evaporate more quickly.

If you can't sell it on eBay, it may not even qualify as landfill.

Retired (mostly) from the industry after 33 years...but still putzing around with a consumer information website, and trying to sell obsolete owners manuals

Huh? google this critter and it looks like it is associated with immunosuppressed individuals, like HIV patients. I didn't see anything that would implicate hot tubs. Did I miss something?
