Title: Indoor Spa Chemicals
Post by: Tubaholic on August 18, 2004, 06:20:31 pm

My wife and I are the new owners of an 2004 Grandee and it has been installed in our sunroom. We would like to know if Chlorine or Bromine is better indoors ? The tub does have ozone. We both have a slight case of asthma and are unsure how the chemicals could affect us.  Thanks in advance for any and all help.

What kind of ventilation do you have and how is it controlled? Give us lots of specifics on hos the rom is set up to ventilate. Do you have ozone?

My room is 25x25 sliding patio doors on 2 sides,vaulted ceiling with 4 skylights that open. The tub is in the corner of the room that has the sliders. There is also a wood burning stove in the room. yes the tub does have ozone for HS.

Check your warranty before using a bromine floater. If you have a Fresh Water 3 ozone from Watkins you can get away with a minimal amount of dichloron a weekly basis. In the size room you are talking about it should not be an issue.

You may also want to consider an exhaust fan (aka fart fan for the bathroom) cuts down steam and smell, but only when on.

You definitiely want an exhaust fan. Some tie them to a humidistat but one way or another you want more than just an open window.
