Chalky Water Surface and Bromine Use
« on: August 04, 2013, 08:08:36 pm »
Good Evening,

  My Sundance tub seems to have a chalky water surface when you view very close in the right lighting.  It reminds me of how oil looks on the surface of water without the rainbow coloring.  I can see it a bit more concentrated in the filter box and even a little bit of film at water level left on the shell, but only in the filter box.  I've also noticed anybody who uses the tub is left with a swimsuit that smells very strongly of the chemicals even after being washed.  I'm using bromine tablets and it seems to take three in the skimmer door to test in the right range.  Does anybody recommend a floating dispenser instead of the door feeder?

I appreciate any insight and thanks for taking the time to help.

Bromine is bromine regardless if it is in the floater, or the weir gate feeder, why spend the money on a floater?  Bromine is also low on the pH scale which is why you have the smell issue, balance your alkalinity and pH.

You may also be on well water?  i might suggest the "chalky" reference could be calcium.  Are you using any "Stain and Scale"?

Trying to be the unbaised voice of reason.
