best chlorine for hot tubs image
Jovanna
My hot tub is in my garage and my room is right next to it. The chlorine smell has taken over my room, and it is irritating my eyes. I did a pH test and the Cl level was at 10. It should be between 3 and 5. What do I do to fix it? Do I have to drain it and refill it?
Answer
i own a pool company.run pump 12 to 24 hours non stop.do not get in hot tub while you are doing this.after that retest chlorine and ph level.chlorine level should read on test kit 3.0 and ph should read 7.2 to 7.8 also when hot tub is running have the heat on.this will dissipate the chlorine faster.leave window or door open while doing this.and check chemicals daily do not drain

Can you use chlorine in a hot tub or spa?
Don't Spoo
My friends have a hot tub. I'm not sure what they put in the water, but it always dries out my skin and makes it itchy. I have an in ground pool that I swim in all the time and have none of these skin issues. Can you use the same chlorine that you would use in a pool in a hot tub?
Answer
The chlorine would be the same but its form would probably be different. They may be just throwing a bunch of chlorine in without checking the level. There are 2 things that need to be checked OFTEN with a hot tub: chlorine or bromine (3-5 ppm) and pH level (7.4 to 7.6 is ideal). Either one can cause your skin to do strange things. Hot tub water will often become acidic and needs to be adjusted down (baking soda is a cheap solution) or alkaline and needs to be adjusted up using a mild acid. It's also good practice to shock the tub about once a month (10 ppm chlorine/bromine) to kill off any really resistant nasties and help sanitize the piping, pump and jets.
If they don't have a test kit they need one or they can borrow yours assuming you check your pool regularly. They also need an adjustable dispenser for chlorine/bromine sticks and with a little trial and error can get it set to dispense the right amount consistently. I've installed and maintained pools and tubs and there's nothing worse than feeling worse getting out of one than getting in.
Good Luck!
